In the city of Richmond, on Saturday last,
in the 6Sth wear of his age, WM. GAIT, Esq
native of Scotland, and for MANY years ex-
tenslvcly and tavourably known in Virginia,
Mr.. f1alt was a very rich man, and what
was still better, very benevolent and good

wealth, as they were by vigor and decay. lie

trading with pedlar's pack; he died IN the
