It is said that Richardson died rich; and indeed the sale of his effects by auction showed that if other persons were men of property, he was a man of properties. Three hundred and thirty-four lots of multitudinous composition were submitted to the hammer; and it was truly a jubilee to see how the Jews did outbid each other. There were Nathan, and Hart, and Clarke, and Levy, besides an inferior and dirtier lot, who got velvets, and silks, and satins, for the old song, "Old Clo'!" Though their late owner, in the heyday of his prime, observed, "I have to show my dresses by daylight, and they must be first-rate; anything will do for the large theatres in the night-time, either green-baize, or tin, or dog-skins for ermine;" yet their prices were by no means considerable. Two Lear's dresses, two Dutch and one Jew's ditto, sold for thirty-five shillings; one spangled Harlequin's dress, one clown's, one magician's, and pantaloon's, came to one pound eleven shillings and sixpence; five priests' and a cardinal's dress, and the next lot, six robbers' dresses and a cardinal's dress, went very low; and six satyrs' dresses were absolutely given away. A large scene waggon brought fourteen pounds, and a ditto scene carriage only eight pounds. Then there were sundries of curious character in the catalogue: Ten common w_h_igs, trick-bottle, and trick-box (probably what Stanley called the thimble-rig). A trick-sword, a coffin and pall: tomb of _Capulate_. _The_ old oak chest, with skeleton and two inscriptions (a very superior property). A spangled woman's dress, white gown, &c. complete. Two handsome spangled women's dresses, with caps, complete. Five chintz women's dresses, two bow [qy. beau?] strings and scarf, eight fans, four baskets, and fifteen tails. A man's ghost dress, complete. A handsome woman's velvet dress, and Roman father's ditto. Three magicians' dresses, and five musicians' ditto. Nine spangled flys. A handsome demon's dress, spangled and ornamented with gilt [guilt] mask, and mace. Four demons' dresses, with _masks, complete_! _Executioner's_ dress and cap, complete; six black gowns, and _four falls_. A superfine admiral's coat and hat, trimmed with gold lace, breeches, and waistcoat. Ditto (no breeches). Lion, bear, monkey, and cat's dresses, with two masks. Two handsome _nondescript_ dresses. Such and so various were the articles in this unique three days' sale; and in the last some pieces of good old china were knocked down. Three weeks previously their owner was deposited in the cold church-yard of Great Marlow, in the grave, we are assured, of the Spotted Boy. The funeral was, at his request, conducted without _Show_; and his nephews and nieces--for he left no family--inherit his worldly wealth, under the executorship of Mr. Cross, the proprietor of the Surrey Zoological Garden and its giraffery.
