 (1753); Essay on Deformity (1754); Translation of Hawkins Browne's De Immortalite Animæ (1754); Translation of Martial's Epigrams (1755). His complete works were published by his daughter, with his Life (1794).

Admitted 29 November, 1824.

Second son of Sheedy Hayes of Judd Place, Somers Town, where he was born 19 June, 1805. He was educated at the Roman Catholic College at Ware, but, when he grew up, joined the Church of England. He began life as a solicitor in Leamington. He was called to the Bar 29 Jan. 1830, and in 1856 received the order of the Coif. In 1861 he was made Recorder of Leicester, and in 1868 a Judge of the Queen's Bench, with the honour of knighthood, but died suddenly the following year (24 Nov.). He was a man of extensive classical acquirements and a humourist, his elegy on the extinction of John Doe and Richard Roe, his song on the case of The Dog and the Cock, and his admirable satire on the abstruse pleading and special demurrers under the New Rules of 1834 (of which Baron Parke, afterwards Lord Wensle3'dale, was part author and strenuous defender), being pleasantly remembered.

Admitted 11 August, 1605.

His parentage is not given in the Register, but he was the son of Thomas Hayes of Westminster. He was of the Drapers' Company, and was knighted by James I. at Whitehall 26 July, 1603. He was elected Alderman of Bishopsgate on 22 Dec. of the same year, served the office of Sheriff in 1604, and became Lord Mayor ten years later. He was buried in the church of St. Mary, Aldermanbury, 29 Sept. 1617.

Admitted 13 June, 1766.

Only son of Thomas Hayley of Chichester, Sussex, where he was born 29 Oct. 1745. He was educated at Eton and Cambridge, where he composed an Ode on the Birth of the Prince of Wales (1763). This was the forerunner of a long succession of poetical pieces, the most successful of which was The Triumphs of Tempter, published in 1781. It ran through many editions, but is now only remembered by the satirical reference to it in Byron's English Bards and Scotch Reviewers. He also wrote a Life of Milton (1794) and other works in prose, not without merit, but now little known. His learning and abilities, however, were of no mean order, and his character amiable. "Everything about him, indeed, was good," as was said of him by his friend, Robert Southey, "except his poetry." He died at Felpham 12 Nov. 1820.

Admitted 23 January, 1701-2.

Son and heir of John Haynes, M.D., of Ditcheat, Somerset. Previous to his admission, he was weigher and teller at the Mint, where he became Assay-Master in 1723, at the time when Sir Isaac Newton was Warden. He translated some of Newton's Letters on St. John into Latin, and was a friend of
