Lately at Boroughbridge, Yorkshire aged 83, Francis BOLTON, pauper, of that place, one of the most eccentric characters perhaps ever known. His constant custom, from his infancy was to throw large quantities of cold water on his head. The manner in which he performed this was very singular :- in the most inclement weather, he would go to some neighbouring town pump and fill his hat with water, and having drunk as much as he thought proper he would put his hat on and the contents would run down his body. His shirt when washed he would put on wet and for the last twenty years of his life, refused to lay on a bed, as a substitute for which he used his wet straw, on which he lay quite naked without any covering but the clothes he put off and during the winter season has many times been found frozen to the ground. When able he travelled the country as a beggar, and his constant address was “please to give anything”
