* In the year 1724, this Doctor Ankettle was
a student of medicine at Paris, when John Fitz-
gibbon, father of the Lord Chancellor Fitzgibbon,
Earl of Clare, visited that capital to pursue a
course, not of divinity, as Sir Jonah Barrington
states, but of medicine. Young Fitzgibbon im-
mediately sought his townsman, who was allowed
a day to show Paris to his friend, and both tra-
versed the city accordingly in all directions. At
length thev stopped at a late hour to visit the ca-
thedral of Notre Dame, in the immediate vicinity
of their college ; and exhausted with fatigue, fell
so soundly asleep on the benches of the choir, as
to escape the sexton's closing the church at night.
It was past midnight when the youths awoke,
and finding themselves thus immured, touched in
their groping about the bell-rope, and soon made
the great chimes resound to the no small amaze-
ment of the worthy sexton, and alarm of the
good city of Paris. Thev were, of course, quietly
liberated. John Fitzgibbon subsequently relin-
ijuished Ins medical studies, and was called to the
Irish bar in 1732, when he successfully laid the
foundation of his prosperous house.

RODDAM, OF RODDAM.

RODDAM, WILLIAM, esq. of Roddam Hall, in the county of Northumberland,
b. 4th January, 1793. This gentleman, who is the fourth son of Walter Spencer
Stanhope, esq. of Cannon Hall, in Yorkshire, inherited the estates of his kinsman and
godfather, Admiral Robert Roddam, under the will of that gallant officer, at his
decease in 1806, and assumed, in consequence, the surname and arms of Roddam.

This family, ranking amongst the most
ancient in the British dominions, is still re-
sident upon lands granted to their Saxon

progenitors, in a very curious charter from
Kiny Athelstane:

A charter particularly and circumstantially
noticed by Major, in his Chronicles of Eng-
land and Scotland, who describes an irrup-
tion of the English into that kingdom, temp.
Richard II. when the monasteries of Mel-
ros, Driburg, Newbottel, and Edinburgh,
were burnt ; and then states, that, after fhe
departure of the invaders, Robert Stewart,
Earl of Fife, second son of the King of
Scotland, with James, Earl of Douglas, and
Archibald, Earl of Galway, at the head of
thirty thousand men, made reprisal by eu-

tering England by Sohvay Frith, wasting
the rich and fertile lands, and carrying
away abundant spoil. In the course of the
foray this ancient deed was discovered and
brought to the Scots commander, Robert,
Duke of Albany, subsequently Regent of
Scotland ; who, whenever he afterwards
heard of long charters and other similar
writings, was wont to say, that in former
times there was more probity, when our
ancestors were unaccustomed to such minute
prolixity in their conveyances ; and sup-
ported his opinion by reciting from memory
these letters patent of King Athelstane.

Notwithstanding Roddam lies at a great
distance from that part of England which
the Scotch ravaged at their first entrance
by Solway Frith ; yet it is most likely that
a detachment entered Northumberland at
the same time (as was customary on such
invasions), and finding the writing in ques-
tion, brought it to Robert, while his head
quarters were in Cumberland or Westmor-
land. It is a well-known fact that Athel-
stane won a great victory* over the Scots
and Danes in the country near Roddam,
where he commanded in person, so that he
probably rewarded Pauline's good services
by this grant on the spot.

The following passage is to be found in
Leland's Collectanea, vol. ii. p. 571. anno
1351.

' Gilbert Rodam having fifty -three
glayves with him, and eighty archers, fought
with Reynald de Gulion, Capitaine of
Parys, near Stampes (now Etampes, in Nor-
mandy), that had seven hundred men of
armes and four hundred brigantes with him.
Gilbert was slayen there ; yet the English-
man had the victory, and Reynald was there
taken prisoner ; but he, by the help of a
false Englishman, was convayied or ever he
had payid his rannsom."

Leland's Itinerary, written in the time of
Henry VIII. (vol. v. p. 93.) states that
" The Roddams, or Rudhams, were men of
fair landes in Northumbrelande, about Tylle
river, ontyl one of them having to wife one
of the Umfraville daughters, killed a man
of name, and thereby lost the principale of
eight hundred markes by yere ; so that at
this time Roddam, or otherwise Rudham,
of Northumbrelande, is but a man of mene
landes."

The greater part of the original estate
was certainly forfeited during the sway of
the Norman kings, but the lands of Roddam,
named in the grant of Athelstane, descended
to the late Admiral Roddam, through an
uninterrupted line of ancestors, intermar-
rying with the Greys of Chillingham ; the

Ed" \rd Roddam. esq. of Roddam. who
died in 1776 without issue, and was s . by his
brother,

Robert Roddam. esq. then an officer of
rank io the royal navy. This gallant sea-
man entered the service as a midshipman
on board the Lowestoffe in the year 1735-6:
in which capacity he subsequently served
in the Russell. Cumberland, and Boyne.
and was upon the Antigue station with
Captain Drummond. of the Lowestoffe. more
than five years. On the 3rd November.
1741. he was made third lieutenant on board
the Superb in Cumberland Harbour, from
which the next year he was removed to the
Monmouth. In 1744 he was appointed
second lieutenant, and in two years after-
wards promoted to the command of the
Viper, sloop of war. About this time Lord
Anson (then Mr. Anson), one of the lords
of the Admiralty, went to Portsmouth to
command the western squadron, and ex-
pressing a strong wish to all the captains to
stop a fleet at that time lying at Portsmouth,
they urged the impracticability of the un-
dertaking in a high south wind, and stated
many other concurring obstacles. Mr.
Roddam. the youngest captain, however,
instantly undertook to try the possibility of
stopping them, though his sloop, being just
off the stocks, was in everv wav incomplete :
and he eventually performed the arduous
duty with so much steadiness, that Lord
Anson wrote directlv to the lords of the

Admiralty for leave to take Captain Roddam
under his own command. In 1755 he was
appointed to the Greenwich, a fifty gun
ship, and sailing to the Weal ladles, re-
mained on the Jamaica station until 17j7.
At this period, being on a cruize off His-
paniola, on the 16th March, early in the
morning, plying off Cape Cabroon. the
Grren-*i:h fell in with four French line of
battle ships. _ates. and a store ship,

which the officers and crew of the Green-
wich all fully supposed and asserted w :
merchantmen convoyed by two frigates :
but Captain Roddam entertained a different
opinion, and, though late, convinced his
ship's company of their mistake, as those
vessels proved to be the Tonnant, of 84
guns, commanded by Admiral Bofromont :

Diadem. 74. Captain Rosele : L'Eveille, of
64. Captain Merville : Inflexible, of 64. and
-.n.d Le Bronne. frigates, with a
twenty gun storeship. This squadron being
to windward dispatched one of the friga - -
to reconnoitre, which Captain Roddam por-
cemng. and seeing no possibility of effecting
his own escape, endeavoured to draw to the
Greenwich. That ship being painted after
the manner of the French, he hoped to dec
the frigate, and he had already prepared a
boarding party, determined if he succeeded
to dispatch her immediately to Admiral
Townshend. at Jamaica, with intelligence of
the number and situation of the enemy : but
the Frenchman, discovering the Greenwich
to be a two-decked ship, made all sail to
rejoin the squadron. The PiiJi â–  r.rst began
firing at nine o'clock, and from that hour
until nine at night the Greenwich was in-
c-^antly assailed by one or other of the
ceet. Captain Roddam again prepared to
board the L'Eveille. a 64. being the beat
sailing ship ; but several of the enemy re-
newing the action at the same time, the
Greenwich became so much injured in her
rising, and in consequence so unmanage-
able that he was compelled to abandon the
idea. He then called his ship's company
together, and told thcni he had done all in
his power to preserve his majesty s ship,
but if any of them could point out the French
admiral's ship, the Tonnant. he thought the
Greenwich could yet divert her an hour or
two. The officers and the whole ship's
company answered. " They must obey tht-ir
captain, but they had been unceasingly shot
at for twelve hours, and supported an action
they believed longer than any ship had ever
before sustained." Captain Roddam struck
his colours in consequence, but. even after
doing so. resisted what he deemed a -
honorable condition on the part of his con-
queror. The French ship. L'Eveille. hailed
the English captain to hoist out a boat, and
to go on board the 64. which he repeatedly

refused to do; and finding his interpreter
had said, " every thing being cut away they
could not get a boat out," instead of stating,
" that Captain Roddam would not," he him-
self hailed, and inquiring if any one on
board L'Eveille spoke English, he was re-
plied to by a voice he knew, Mr. Giddy, a
