British goldsmith and merchant Peter Perchard ( c. 1729 - 21 January 1806 ) was a British goldsmith and merchant who served as Lord Mayor of London in 1804 . Perchard worked as a merchant on his native island of Guernsey and the other Channel Islands . Perchard grew wealthy from privateering in the English Channel after the British government declared reprisals against the allies of the nascent United States of America . Perchard and his fellow privateers targeted ships from the French West Indies , with Perchard personally making almost £10,000 from his privateering activities . Civic career He was created an alderman in the City of London 's Candlewick ward on 12 April 1798 as a goldsmith . He was subsequently elected one of the Sheriffs of the City of London in 1793 . Perchard was a liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths . The election was held for the office of Lord Mayor on 9 October 1804 . Perchard was one of three candidates , the others being his fellow Aldermen , James Shaw and Charles Flower . Perchard won 1781 votes to Shaw 's 1652 , and was duly declared Lord Mayor . In his acceptance speech , Perchard described himself as being " late of life " but said that " we cease to live when we cease to be of any use to the public " . The prisoner reformer James Neild wrote to Perchard about the poor conditions at the debtors ' prison in Southwark during Perchard 's time as Lord Mayor but received no reply from him . Personal life Perchard and his wife , Martha ( née Le Mesurier ) , were married for 18 years and had six children . Perchard 's wife was from a prominent Guernsey family , her first cousin was the wealthy merchant Paul Le Mesurier , who had served as Lord Mayor of London from 1794 . Three of their children , Mary , Mathew , and Mathew-Henry , died in infancy , a second daughter , Martha , died aged 10 . Perchard died only 10 weeks after the end of his Mayoralty , and was buried with his wife and four children in St Mary Abchurch , near Cannon Street in the City of London . A monument commemorates Perchard and his family in St Peter 's church in his native Guernsey . A Mr . Urban , writing to The Gentleman 's Magazine in 1832 with his recollections of Perchard , said of him that " ...his exterior was handsome , and he had a commanding mien , though features repulsive and prominent and well turned " |
