Mr GUY was possessed of considerable property, and was a worthy and honest, though rather an eccentric man. His grave and coffin were both made about a year ago, under his own directions; the inscription on the tablet and gravestone are of his own composition, and were engraved more than a month since, about which time he gave orders for everything necessary for his funeral, and purchased gloves, hatbands, &c.; as he wished not to be taken to the grave in a hearse a change of carriers was requisite, and he had therefore desired that one set might be sent on to a public house about half way on the road, where they were to have beer, &c., and to wait the arrival of his corpse, when those who had brought him from Wycombe, were to receive a similar refreshment. He had also wrapped up in separate papers the sum of 5s for each carrier. An immense number of people were assembled to view the procession as it passed through Wycombe, and also to witness the burial at Hughendon.
