probably aroused by the attention called to the school and its energetic master in a little pamphlet, published in 1733, entitled "The Present State of Popery in England," he removed to Ugthorpe, co. York, where he reopened his school, and so continued till after the Stuart rising of 1745; persecution was then renewed with greater vigour, and Mr. Rivett, by which name he passed, towards the close of 1745, was arrested at Ugthorpe, under the Duke of Newcastle's warrant or detainer, for suspicion of high treason, " brought before Mr. Robinson, M. Consett, and Tho. Skottowe, justices, as a popish priest and keeping a school for the education of children in the popish religion, and on examination, confessing the same and refusing to take the oaths, committed to York castle." In the following March he was tried at the Lenten assizes holden at York with Sir William Anderson, a Valladolid priest, "for that, being popish priests, and little regarding the laws and statutes of this realm, and not fearing the pains and penalties therein contained after the 25th of March, 1700, to wit, the 8th of Sept., in the 19th year of George II (1745), did say Mass at Craythorne and Ugthorpe, and that office or function of a popish priest did use and exercise in contempt of the said lord the King and his laws." After sometime Mr. Harvey obtained his release, returned to London to continue his labours, and died there Dec. 22, 1756, aged 57. Latterly he seems to have been known by the name of Monnoux Harvey.

HARVEY, Joseph, of an ancient Essex family, was admitted under the name of Haynes into the English College at Valladolid, 1604, at the age of 23; ord. priest, and left for the English mission, in Apr., 1609. He was serving in or about London in 1623. Dodd says he passed sometimes under the name of Harries, and became an archdeacon of the Chapter. Came to Lisbon to co-operate in foundation of College; returned to England, 1627, and nominated first president by Bp. Smith; went to Douay College same year to obtain students, where arrived June 12, 1627, left with colony, Aug. 25, 1628; arrived Lisbon, Nov. 14, 1628; died on day appointed for public opening of schools, Feb. 22, 1629, and buried in church belonging to the College.
