WILLIAM, a noted political writer in defence of Sir Robert Walpole, was originally an attorney's clerk; but being recommended to Walpole, he employed him for a course of years in writing the Free Briton and other papers in defence of his administration. By the report of the secret committee, he appears to have received, in the space of four years, no less than £10,997. 6s. 8d. out of the treasury for his writings! but spending his money as fast as it came, and his supplies stopping on Sir Robert's resignation, he died broken-hearted and in debt, in the 26th year of his age. His invention was so quick, that his honourable employer used to say, no man in England could write a pamphlet in so little time as Arnall.
