Barrow 16.7.1794 at Newgate.
I suggest this was the surgeon Richard Barrow who was probably visiting a fellow medic (see Hodgson, William) and was shortly afterwards confined in Newgate himself, along with Robert Watson, for libels to excite rebellion, based on an incident at Miller's cookshop, Smithfield on 23.8.94. The criminal register gives his age as 24 and describes him as an apothecary of Stratton Ground, Westminster, 5ft 7ins, grey eyes, dark brown hair, sallow complexion. An advert in the Telegraph of 19.9.95 says he "recently commenced parctice", and the Whitehall Evening Post of 12-15.11.96 says he and Watson were discharged yesterday. There was a Richard Barrow surgeon of Strutton Ground from 1773 who voted Fox 1780, Hood & Wray 1784 and Townshend 1788, and was presumably his father or relation. St James Chronicle of 29.7-1.8.97 reports him being taken into custody again. He died 17.3.1827, surgeon of Hounslow and his will proved PCC 1827 asks for no funeral service and provides for his son Isaac Richard Lepipre living with his grandmother Elizabeth Lepipre. Gabriel Lepipre married Elizabeth Clarke at Chelsea in 1776, some of their children were baptised at Ashford, Surrey, and a Delicia Lepipre of Hounslow was buried at Ashford in 1816 aged 27, so she was probably the mother of Barrow's son. Ipswich Journal of 26.5.1810 reports a case from Kings Bench when Barrow was prosecuted for cruelty to Samuel Strange, an 8-year-old boy serving him, and an employee of his James Gatfield was indicted for embezzlement at the Old Bailey 19.2.1817 and acquitted
