the out-pensioners list at Chelsea, on account of the wounds which she received at the siege of Pondicherry.  Her singular story excited a considerable share of public attention; and she was engaged to sing, and perform the military exercises at various places of public entertainment:  soon afterwards she married one Eyles, a carpenter at Newbury.  A lady of fortune, who admired the heroism and eccentricity of her conduct, having honoured her with particular notice, became godmother to her son, and contributed liberally to his education.  Mrs. Eyles, to the day of her death, continued to receive her pension, which, in the year 1786, was augmented by a special grant to a shilling a day.  In the latter part of her life she discovered symptoms of insanity, and was admitted a patient into Bethlehem-hospital, where she died, Feb. 8, 1792, aged 69 years.
