(1820-1829)

Baldwin's London Weekly Journal – 31st March, 1821

 

DEATHS.

March 20, at Thoralby, Yorkshire, aged 49, John Sadler, Esq. of Hall-Garth; whose family have for several generations been landed proprietors in that district, in the exercise of his profession as a solicitor. He was remarkable  for terminating controversy by arbitration, thereby abridging the process of many a legal suit; and for his moderate charges to his clients, to some of whom his assistance was not seldom eleemosenary, qualities which will  endear his memory in the neighbourhood of the place where he resided, he was a man of literature, and pleasant manners; the last of four brothers, three of whom died successively within a recent period; he has left a surviving sister [Jane Sadler (1776-1857)], to whose affectionate conduct and tender solicitudes, this gentleman was materially indebted for the consolation and happiness of a considerable portion of his existence.
