162 of the apostolic Wesley, and of the great work which God had wrought in his day never failed to inspire him with the deepest feelings of veneration and delight, of gratitude and praise. The infirmities of age compelled him, in the year 181 5, to retire from the labours of itinerancy. He then selected Caermarthen for his residence j where, surrounded by friends whom he had long known, and by whom he was deservedly esteemed, he continued to pursue his Master’s work, till his vigorous constitution sank under the ravages of a disease, originally produced by frequent and long rides, in excessive rain and cold, while travelling from place to place in order to publish the Gospel of peace. Full of the hopes and consolations inspired by that Gospel, he finished his course with joy on the Lord‘s Day, January 8, 1826, in the seventyeighth year of his age.” B I 0 G RAP H I CA L S K E T C HE S. No. CCXXVII. SIR WILLIAM HONYMAN, BART., OF ARYADALE WILLIAMH ONYMAeNld, est son of Patrick Honyman of Graemsay, by Margaret, daughter and heiress of M‘Kay of Strathy,’ was born in December 1756. He was the fourth in descent from Andrew Honyman, Bishop of Orkney, the founder of the family; who, on the streets of Edinburgh, July 1668, was wounded in the arm by a poisoned bullet, intended for Archbishop Sharpe, of St. Andrews, whose coach he was in the act of stepping into at the moment.’ Mr. Honyman was admitted to the bar in 1777, and appointed Sheriff-depute of Lanarkshire in 1786, in the room of Mr. Robert Sinclair, who resigned. On the death of Lord Dreghorn, in 1797, he was promoted to the bench, and assumed the title of Lord Armadale-from a landed property he inherited by his mother, in the county of Sutherland. In 1799, on the promotion of Lord Eskgrove, he was named one of the Lords of Justiciary; and in 1804 had the honour of baronetcy conferred on him. Sir William Honyman, both as a lawyer and a judge, displayed very considerable talents, as well as sound judgment. A specimen of his judicial argument is to be found in the Appendix to Hutcheson’s “ Treatise on the Offices of a Justice of the Peace,” etc. in the case of <‘ His Majesty’s Advocate, o. James Taylor, and other Journeymen Paper-makers,” decided in 1808. These persons had combined to procure a rise of wages, and were indicted to stand trial before the High Court of Justiciary. On the relevancy of the indictment, the bench She was cousin to Donald Lord Reay. 2 The bullet waa fired by one Mitchell, who had been engaged at the affair of Pentland Eills. The Bishop never entirely recovered from the effects of the wound, and died in February 1676.
