Three thousand copies of this book, on the motion of Mr. Hume, were purchased by the government at two guineas each, and distributed to each member of both Houses of Parliament, who treated them in the light of Parliamentary Papers; so that his "great work" on Statistics, as he used to term it, soon found its way to the butter shops, not a little to the annoyance of the compiler. Always a sort of hanger-on at the Home Office, in 1831 he was employed on the Commission to inspect the boundaries of the cities and boroughs, previous to their insertion into Schedules A and B in the Reform Bill; and it is not much to the credit of Mr. Marshall that such a place as Wilton near Salisbury now returns a member. His plan was to attach some neighbouring villages to the places marked out for Schedule A, and so by thus swelling the population he just fitted them for insertion in Schedule B.

The borough of Downton in the same county, the property of Lord Radnor, was about to be doctored in this manner; but the indignant reproof Mr. Marshall met with from that public spirited nobleman, who insisted on its disfranchisement, and who was not prepared to see the great measure of Reform thus turned into a mockery, was always remembered and often alluded to.

Having occasion, some years afterwards, to be at Rome, he signalised himself as the first Protestant clergyman who established a regular service there, and administered the holy communion to the English residents. For a considerable number of years he was minister of St. Peter's Chapel in Edinburgh; but increasing infirmities obliged him long ago to resign that charge.
