12. At Brighton, aged 108, Phoebe Hessel. Through the goodness of his majesty, and the occasional assistance of many liberal persons in the place, Phoebe's latter days were rendered very comfortable. When his majesty, then prince regent, was informed of her extreme age, and of her necessities, with his usual generosity, he requested some one to ascertain of her what sum she required to render her comfortable. "Half a guinea a week," replied old Phœbe, "will make me as happy as a princess." This, by his majesty's command, was regularly paid to her. She was a woman of good information, and very communicative, and retained her faculties till within a few hours of her death. The following epitaph, about to be placed in

Brighton church-yard, details her singular story:---" In memory of Phoebe Hessel, who was born at Stepney in the year 1713. She served, for many years, as a private soldier in the 5th regiment of foot, in different parts of Europe, and in the year 1745, fought under the command of the duke of Cumberland at the battle of Fontenoy, where she received a bayonet-wound in her arm. Her long life, which commenced in the reign of Queen Anne, extended to George the Fourth, by whose munificence she received comfort and support in her latter years. She died at Brighton, where she had long resided, December 12, 1821, aged 108 years, and lies buried here."
