about a Trial of Messrs. John Johnson and

SIR John A. STEVENSON
"[....] Those who knew Sir John
Stevenson in his years of boyhood say, that he was the son of a professor of
music, who was settled in Dublin, about the middle of the last century. At
that time the Irish metropolis was celebrated for its musical amusements;
and, in the public orchestras, Mr. Stevenson is said to have performed one
of the subordinate violin parts; but, dying of a fever, which, at the same
time carried off his wife, he left two sons quite unprovided for.
Fortunately for his subsequent success in the world, John Andrew, the elder,
was kindly protected by Mr. Gibson, then of the firm of Gibson and
Woffington, of Grafton Street, musical instrument makers; who, perhaps,
discerning some indications of musical talent in the boy, interested himself
in his fortunes, and ultimately succeeded in getting him received as a pupil
in the choir school of Christ Church cathedral, in the year 1771, he being,
at that time, about ten years of age. brother was placed on board a vessel
in the foreign trade, but was supposed to have perished at sea shortly
after. [...]"
