DEATHS.
In Stramongate, on Sunday morning last, in the 78th years of his age, Mr. Edmond Warriner, game-dealer. Deceased was one of the first promoters of Wesleyan Methodism in this town, and that body owes much of its prosperity to his early exertions and zeal on its behalf. He was ardent in his friendships, and possessed of such a child-like simplicity of character, combined with a disposition so entirely free from selfishness and guile, as enabled him during a long and active life of varied fortunes cheerfully to maintain the "noiseless tenour of his way", and secure to himself the sincere respect and esteem of a numerous list of friends.
