_Baskerville_ (Vol. viii., p. 202.).--Among the _articles_ consumed at
Mr. Ryland's at Birmingham, was the body of the late Mr. Baskerville,
who by his will ordered that he should be buried in his own house, and
he was accordingly interred there. A stone closet was erected in it,
where he was deposited in a standing posture. The house was afterwards
sold with this express condition, that it should remain there."--Account
of the Birmingham riots in 1791, from the _Historical Magazine_, vol.
iii., where it is said the house was burned on Friday afternoon, July
15."
