| 24 | ("Bath Chronicle and Weekly Gazette" 03 Oct 1776, page 2): Friday was committed to Glocester goal, by Geo. Nayler, Gent. Coroner, Joseph Armstrong, on suspicion of having poisoned the lady of Capt. A'Court, with whom he lived a servant, and who was then at Cheltenham. This lady had been ill ten days, but no suspicion of poison was suggested till the morning after her decease, when information was given by an apothecary of that place, that the servant had bought some arsenic at his shop the day preceding her first attack of illness, and again in the course of the following week. On receiving this intelligence, the man, who had that morning got leave of his master to set out for London, in consequence of a letter he had received from his friends there, was pursued to Frogmill by Col. Bradford, the lady's father, and after some time was apprehended in a neighbouring wood, whither he had fled on seeing the Colonel drive up to the house in a chaise and four. Upon being interrogated for what purpose he bought the poison, he prevaricated very much, and since his confinement has been in several different stories. Upon an examination by several gentlemen of the faculty, it is said the lady's bowels were found mortified. ("Northampton Mercury" 24 Mar 1777, page 1): Extract of a Letter from Gloucester, March 17. At our Assizes Joseph Armstrong was tried before Mr. Baron Perryn, for the Offence of Petty Treason, in poisoning his Master's Lady, Mrs. A'Court. The Prisoner was hired into the Family of Capt. A'Court, and shortly after attended his Master and Mistress to Cheltenham in this County. The unfortunate Lady had often expressed her Dislike at the Prisoner's Conduct, and had frequently intimated to her Husband a Wish that he might be discharged from their Service. This Conduct of the Lady, Armstrong was determined to be revenged of, and by infusing small Quantities of Arsenic into his Mistresses Beer and Tea, she contracted a Disorder which carried her off in about ten Days. After a Trial which lasted eight Hours, the Evidence was summed up in a very masterly Manner by the Judge to the Jury, who found him Guilty, to the Satisfaction of a very crowded Court. He is to suffer this Day. ("The Ipswich Journal" 29 Mar 1777, page 1): On Monday morning, about 7 o'clock, Joseph Armstrong, who was that morning to have been executed for poisoning his mistress, Mrs. A'Court, desired the keeper to give him leave to have 2 or 3 minutes to himself to devote to prayer: This request seemed so reasonable, that after securing his garters, and even the string with which his links were supported, they left him, and stood on the outside of the door; but no sooner was the door shut than he took a little strap, which it is imagined his mother hid in the straw, and tying this round his neck, he fastened it to a nail in the wall, and then by a sudden jerk dislocated his neck, and died before the people could open the door. Tho' he had positively denied that he had been guilty of the crime for which he was to suffer, on Sunday evening, yet just before he destroyed himself, he owned his guilt to one of the keepers, and acknowledged to one of the prisoners he had been guilty of other villainies worthy of death. His body is hung in chains at Cheltenham. (Burial Register Extract): 1776, September 26. Katherine, wife of Capt. A'Court. | Bradford, Katherine (I02066)

Sunday night, at Culford in Essex, the Right Hon. the Countess of Cornwallis, Lady of the present Earl. --- "Lives of Indian Officers" Vol. 1 by Sir John Kaye, 1867, page 13: . . . But the official answer of the King's Government had scarcely been received, when tidings reached Cornwallis that his wife was dying. The year was then far spent, and the army was going into winter-quarters; so he determined to RESIgn his command, and to set his face again towards England. The necessary permission was obtained from Clinton; and, in a state of extreme anxiety and depression, Cornwallis put himself on board ship. In the middle of the month of December he reached Culford. His wife was still alive; but all hope of her recovery had gone. It was now too late even for his presence to save. She survived her husband's return for two months, and then passed away to her rest.* *Lady Cornwallis died on the 16th of February, 1779. The morbid fancy which she had expressed to be buried with a thorn-tree planted over her heart was complied with, and no name wass engraved on the slab which marked the place in teh vault at Culford where her remains were interred. Mr. Ross adds, that "the thorn-tree was necessarily removed in March, 1855, in consequence of alterations in the church: it was carefully replanted in the churchyard, but did not live more than three years afterwards." -- Cornwallis Correspondence. Ross. --- "Somerset County Historical Quarterly"' Vol 5, 1916, page 16: He [General Cornwallis] returned to England in January, 1778, but sailed again from St. Helens in the 'Trident' on the 21st of April, following. Lady Cornwallis and her children accompanied him to Portsmouth, and after his departure she returned to Culford, where she resumed the solitary life she had led since his first departure, but grief so preyed upon her health as to bring on a kind of jaundice, of which she eventually died, February,k 14, 1779. When Lord Cornwallis heard of her dangerous state, he threw up his command and again came to England, where he arrived a few weeks before her death. Lady Cornwallis always declared to her confidential attendant that she was dying of a broken heart, and she requested that a thorn-tree should be planted above the vault when she was buried, as nearly as possible over her heart -- significant of the sorrow which destroyed her life. She also directed that no stone should be engraved to her memory. Both wishes were complied with. --- "The Olden TIme" Vol. 2, 1848, page 366: Concerning his career in America, Mr. Jesse does not know whether Lord Cornwallis "is most to be blamed or pitied for his memorable and inglorious surrender." Subsequently, both in India and Ireland, Marquis Cornwallis redeemed his reputation; or at all events showed that he was not wanting in the personal attributes of courage, energy, benevolence and military talents. In private life he seems to have been a most estimable character. Under date of April, 1771, Lord Carlisle sympathizes in his parting from his family. To this the editor has appended an interesting comment. "Lady Cornwallis, on the first tidings of her husband's appointment to serve in America, flew to hus uncle, Dr. Cornwallis, Archbishop of Canterbury, and so deeply affected him by the anquish which she displayed at the thoughts of their separation, that by his means the king was induced to make an arrangement which superceded the appointment of Lord Cornwallis. The later, however, sacrificing his private feelings to the calls of duty and honor, immediately waited on the king, and expostulated so warmly on the injury which might accrue to his reputation, that the appointment was allowed to go forward. He departed on his expedition, and the following year Lady Cornwallis died, as there is every reason to believe, a martyr to the effects of this melancholy separation." --- "The Politically Incorrect Guide to the British Empire" by H.W. Crocker, 2011, page 62: In 1768, he married Jemima Tullekin Jones, the daughter of a regimental colonel. The couple was ardently devoted; it was alleged she died (in 1779) because hi long absences fighting the American colonists broke her heart. Her death, Cornwallis wrote, "effectually destroyed all my hopes of happiness in this world. I will not dwell on this wretched subject, the thoughts of which harrow up my soul." --- "Washington and Cornwallis: The Battle for America" by Benton Rain Patterson, 2004, page 193: On November 27, 1778, Cornwallis, along with the members of the failed Carlisle Peace Commission, who had been his fellow passengers on the voyage to America months earlier, sailed from Sandy Hook, bound for Plymouth, England His ship reached Plymouth on December 19, and Cornwallis arrived in London on December 23. Apparently without discussing the matter with the secretary of state for American colonies, Goerge Germain, or the king, Cornwallis turned in his RESIgnation from the army. King George, probably sympathizing with him during the grave illness of Jemima, accepted the RESIgnation. Cornwallis then left London and hurried to his Suffolk estate and the bedside of his wife, whom he found, as he siad, in "a very weak state indeed," suffering apparently from a liver disease. Through a cheerless Christmas and bleak January he remained with her, refusing to leave the manor to socialize with friends or to take care of business matters. Jemima's illness preoccupied him. "The very ill state of health in which I found Lady Cornwallis," he told Clinton in a letter, "has render'd me incapable of any attention but to her, and the thoughts of her danger is forever present in my mind." On February 14, 1779, St. Valentine's Day, Cornwallis's beloved Jemima died. Deeply grieving and inconsolable, he shut himself off from friends, refusing to see or talk to anyone except his closest family members. His emotions, normally held in check by aristocratic reserve, poured onto the pages of letters he wrote to those closest to him. He told his brother William that Jemima's death had "effectually destroyed all my hopes of happiness in this world." Merely the thought of her, he wrote, would "harrow up" his soul. | Jones, Tulleken Jemima (I02007)

Major Dugdale, who was born at Merevale on August 12, 1843, was the fourth son of Mr. William Stratford Dugdale, M.P., of Blythe Hall and Merevale Hall, who died on September 15, 1871, in his 72nd year. Mr. W.S. Dugdale's wife was a sister of the first Viscount Portman, and died in 1906 at the great age of 95 . . . The funeral took place at the Church of Our Lady, Merevale, on Thursday afternoon. The service was fully choral . . . There were several beautiful wreaths. The brick grave was lined with ivy, white chrysanthemums and white heather, by Mr. E.W.

Mr. Mordaunt was so good to offer to send his coach or his chaise. I like the bride very much; she seems sensible, and appears of an obliging disposition, and behaves very affectionately to the eldest ladies as well as Miss Mary. She was dressed in a handsome white tissue negative, no jewels except pearl buttons, necklace and earrings, and those of the small sort; Mr. Mordaunt in light cloth, with a silver tissue waistcoat. I think Mrs. Mordaunt is rather plain (though your papa says she was "handsome enough for a wife"); the upper part of her face is rather handsome, pretty good eyes and nose, but a bad mouth, rather long visage, and pale though fair, and dark hair, she is tall and genteel, and a good figure in dancing. | Prowse, Elizabeth (I00772)

A figure, in Alabaster, of a youth seated, leaning his head on the right hand, the elbow supported by a scull on his knee, the left arm resting on the thigh and holding a bunch of flowers. Above the head is the following inscription, surmounted with the arms of Elliot with eleven quarterings. M.S. Desideratissimi capitis Iohannis Elliott, Io. F. Cornubiensis Armigeri, Ex Honora F.

(Tradition assigns his death to the swallowing a bone which caused suffocation.) Underneath the Statue is the following. --- At qualis adolescentulus quantae spei in aetate jam puerili, vix uspiam majus exemplum memoriae, comitatis, ingeii, dotum denique naturae omnium, quas dum arte sedulo et studiose perpolire conatur, supergressus fere modum humanum, Angelorum inseritur choro. Avia D.N. nepoti bene merenti maerens P.P. ---thus rendered;--- What a remarkable boy he was! there has scarely ever been a more extraordinary instance of the powers of memory, of amiability, of intelligence, in a word, of all the gifts of nature. Whilst striving to improve them by care and study, and having made an almost supernatural progress, he was taken into the company of angels. His sorrowing grandmother Lady Norton, has caused this to be erected to her well-deserving grandson. --- Below that again,--- Parvus avos referens, puer hic non degener ambos Nortonum vivos, Eliotumque dedit. Septenni incidit vitam laudesque parentum Mors vitae victrix laudibus inferior; Quae tamen immodicos virtutis crescere fructus In teneris annis imperiosa vetat. which we endeavour to imitate thus,--- The undegen'rate scion of his line Norton and Elliott in his likeness shine, But seven suns told, all conquering death laid low, His Parents' hopes, and him at one fell blow. Despotic death, that comes with blighting wing To spoil the rich luxuriance of spring. --- "Notes and Queries" Oxford University Press, 1868, page 472-3: In the church of Cranborne there is a monument to the grandson of the great Sir John Eliot (3rd S. i. 445), who died at school there, and in consequence, it is said, of being choked by a bone whilst eating his dinner. The statue of the youth is at some height from the floor, and he holds something in his hand which is obscurely seen from below, but which popular tradition declares to be a representation of the identical mutton bone that caused his death!

| 49 | --- "A Complete Parochial History of the County of Cornwall" Vol. 4, Joseph Polsue, 1872, page 65: The chief place of the parish is Trebursey, and property and residence of Charles Gurney, Esq. This interesting was formerly the property and residence of the family of Gedy or Gedye; Richard Gedy of this place was sheriff 21 James I., 1623; he married Katherine, daughter of Hugh Boscawen, Esq., of Tregothnan, and died circa 1629, leaving an only daugher and heiress named Radigund, who became the wife of Sir John Eliot, Knt. of Port Eliot, the celebrated patriot. Daniel Eliot, grandson of Sir John, dying without issue male, bequeather Trebursey to his relative Edward Eliot, great-grandson of Sir John through his fourth son Nicholas. William Eliot, a descendant of this Nicholas, erected the present handsome mandion on a new site; but succeeding his elder brother, he became the 2nd Earl of S. Germans, and sold Trebursey to the late David Howell, Esq., of Ethy, from whom it passed to the present proprietor. --- "The Cornish Magazine" by Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch, 1898, page 292-3: Both as clergyman and schoolmaster, Ruddle figures in his own narrative; and it is possible, therefore, to test his accuracy in points of detail. He sets out with two specific assertions--- that there was in his school a lad named John Eliot, son of Edward Eliot of Treberse (or, as it is more usually called, Trebursye), and that he 'preached at [his] funeral, which happened on the 20th day of June, 1665.' Now, the name of Edward Eliot, of Trebursye, was one not lightly to be used at Launceston, and in connection with a story, he being one of the most prominent of all the neighbouring gentry. He was the third son of Sir John Eliot, the illustrious patriot, into whose family the possession of Trebursye had come through his marriage with the daughter of richard Gedie, one of the victims of Charles I.'s oppression. While in his fatal confinement in the Tower, Sir John Eliot had written to his father-in-law, with whom the ten-year-old lad was staying at Trebursye, 'I hope God will bless him with his growth to overcome the defluxion in his eyes, against which I see no practice does prevail;' and when grandfather and father alike had passed away, and Edward Eliot had seen the troubled times of the Great Rebellion, the local love for his forbears cased him to be returned for Launceston to the Convention Parliament--- 'by the proper officer,' as it was reported to the House of Commons. But a son of Sir John Eliot was not likely to be in favour at Westminster just then, and the Restoration party ousted him from his seat upon some undiscovered pretext, and gave it to one of Monk's active intriguers, while almost simultaneously the Lords were petitioned by some Cornish widow with a grievance to exempt him and his eldest brother from the General Act of Indemnity until her claim against them had been satisfied. From that time Edward Eliot, save for occasional appointment as a Commissioner of the Subsidy, settled down to a quiet life at Trebursye; and the parish register of Sourh Petherwin, in which that estate is situated, attests, as Ruddle relates, that 'John the son of Edward Elliot Esq and of Anne his wife was buried the 20th day of June 1665.' | Eliot, Edward (I00247)

The Dragoon Guards were under the command of Col. Peyton, and the Yeomanry under Capt. Nicholson. The men belonging to the Dragoon Guards, consisting of 159 rank and file, Captains George and Rees, and seven subalterns, assembled about a quarter to nine in the morning, and marched to Boxley Warren, where they found a squadron of the West Kent Yeomanry awaiting their arrival. The troops formed in line and marched past by squadrons, trotted past by sections, and galloped past by wings. The troops then went through several maneouvres, and we need hardly say that they were performed in a masterly manner. After several advances and charges, Lieutenant-Colonel Peyton manoeuvred the troops on to the ground on which he intended to picket them, in columns of troops. The usual routine of stable duties took place, and the horses were watered. The trumpet then sounded for dinner, and the men were provided with beer, &c., by the liberality of Lieutenant-Colonel Peyton. The officers also partook of a luncheon. After dinner, on marching from the ground, the squadrons of Yeomanry headed the column from the Warren to the Chatham-road, where one troop diverged to Rochester, the band playing "Auld Lang Syne," and the men cheering most lustily. As each troop of the 7th Dragoon Guards came up and were recognised by Captain Nicholson, who had formerly been attached to this regiment, they cheered him vociferously. The regiment took the road to Maidstone, headed by the Maidstone troop, the band playing several cheerful airs. --- "Morning Post" Thursday, 17 Oct 1872 (seen on British Newspaper Archive): "Lieutenant-Colonel Peyton, 7th Dragoon Guards, has been instructed to proceed to Brocklesby, Lincolnshire, on the 30 inst., for the purpose of making his annual inspection of the Earl of Yarborough's Corps of Light Horse Volunteers." --- "Truth" 04 Jul 1878, page 16: KEMPTON PARK RACECOURSE With the time-honoured institution of a dinner, at which there was a representative attendance of all classes whose business or pleasure leads them to feel an interest in all such undertakings, a new club-course on the lines of Sandown was declared to be opened last Saturday, though the first race-meeting will not be held there until the 18th of this month. There is still much to be done in preparing the Grand Stand for that occasion, and, probably, there will then be some incompleteness in the arrangements, but the course only wants slight modifications to make it one of the finest near London, and it is in capital order now. The park, with its broad stretches of pleasant pasturage and cool recesses shaded with grand old trees, is of ample area, and looks limitless, for there is nothing ot define the boundaries between it and the grand sweep of woodlands and parks on either hand. The arrangements are perfect in their way, the officials are courteous, and the programme is laid out on a liberal scale. With a railway-station within a few years, and ever accommodation provided for those who prefer the delights of the road -- which, by the way, is one of the pleasantest drives out of London -- there would seem to be no reason why Kempton Park should not become a favourite resort. Colonel Peyton is President, and in this capacity shows the genial qualities which endeared him to all his old comrades of the "Black Horse," and the Secretary of the Club is Mr. Seymour Portman. --- "Burton Chronicle" 30 Jun 1881, page 8: A want long felt in racing circles has just been supplied by the formation of a club in Bennet-street, St. James's, with the title of "the Racing Club." This club has been established under the auspices of some well-known and responsible racing men, including names such as Colonel Peyton and Captain Batchelor. The object of the club is to grant facilities to its members for the execution of commissions, and for backing horses at the closest prices on the spot, without having to wander forth east or west, to the Victoria Club, or Tattersall's or to Brewer's little establishment. With this view it is proposed to connect the club premises by telephone with all the great racing centres. So that in point of fact a man will be able to make a book on a race at the very last moment, after the numbers have been put up, should he prefer it, without every visiting the racecourse. A charge of two per cent is made on all winnings, except to owners, and five per cent when at starting prices. --- "Western Evening Herald" 04 Jun 1897, page 3: DERVISH ATTACK ENGLISH OFFICER SEVERELY WOUNDED The "Daily Mail" Cairo correspondent says: -- It is reported here that a smart skirmish has taken place near Merawi, the most advanced post on the Nile, between the Egyptian forces and a body of the Khalifa's troops. Captain Peyton, who is in command of the Egyptian cavalry, is said to have been severely wounded. Captain Peyton, of the 15th Hussars, who is reported to be severely wounded in the fight with the dervishes, is a fine young soldier who has won golden opinions in the Egyptian cavalry. He was specially telegraphed for by the Sirdar when the campaign was undertaken last year, having been well known to him when serving in Cairo as the adjutant of the 7th Dragoon Guards. Captain Peyton was in all the engagements of the last year's business, and only a short time back he was sent up to Merawi in command of a couple of squadrons of Egyptian horse, being intended to lead the advance. The wound he has received is most likely from a spear, and is described as "severe." Captain Peyton is the son of Colonel "Jack" Peyton, a veteran officer whose tall, commanding figure and fine presence are probably well-known to all Londoners. He was a very distinguished sabreur in his time, a great Orientalist, who did most gallant service in India, the friend and comrade of Nicholson and the Lawrences. He was colonel of the same regiment -- the 7th Dragoon Guards -- as that in which his son was adjutant quite lately. --- "Mid Sussex Times" 21 Oct 1902, page 3: Brevet Lieut.-Colonel Peyton, son of that popular old soldier Colonel "Jack" Peyton, has been appointed second in command of the 15th Hussars in India. --- "The Times" (London) 19 May 1909, page 1 -- I have a digital copy of the page.

Colonel John Peyton, whose death has occurred at 10, Duke-street, St. James's, was an officer who had seen a good deal of service in India and a veteran of the Mutiny. Colonel Peyton served as an engineer officer on the Peshawur frontier in 1854-5, and remodelled the forts of Michnee, Shubkudder, and Abozai, between the Khajbar Pass and the Kabul River, in front of an enemy, his men having been on more than one occasion shot down at their work, and his predecessor, Lieutenant Bulnois, of the Bengal Engineers, was killed in the discharge of that duty. He was present at every engagement which took place with the hill tribes during the above period, and received the thanks of the Government for special services on the frontier of Tibet. During the Indian Mutiny of 1857-8 he was present at the Peshawur outbreaks and second in command of the 18th Penjab Irregulars, the only other European officers being all then severely wounded. He also narrowly escaped falling into the hands of the Sealkote mutineers at the engagement on the Ravee under General Nicholson. For his services he recieved the medal. He afterwards commanded the 7th Dragoon Guards, and retired in June, 1871. Colonel William Eliot Peyton, D.S.O., who commanded the 15th Hussars, is his third son. The funeral will take place at Kensal Green Roman Catholic Cemetery on Saturday, May 22, at 11:30 a.m. --- "Eastern Evening News" 20 May 1909, page 3: In the "Times" obituary of yesterday is recorded the death of Colonel ("Jack") Peyton, who commanded the 7th Dragoon Guards, and who made himself and his regiment immensely popular in Norwich when stationed here some 30 years ago.

The funeral of Colonel Peyton will be at Kensal Green Roman Catholic Cemetery, 11.30 a.m., on Saturday. --- "Army and Navy Gazette" 22 May 1909, page 15: Col. John Peyton, formerly of the 7th Dragoon Guards, died on the 18th inst. at 10, Duke Street, St. James's, aged 80. Obtaining his commission in the Indian Army as 2nd Lieutenant July 21, 1848, he became Lieutenant May 18, 1849. He served as engineer officer on the Peshawur Frontier in 1854-55, and remodelled the forts of Michnee, Shbkudder, and Abozai, between the Khyber Pass and Kabul River, in front of an enemy, his men having on more than one occasion been shot down at their work, and his predecessor, Lieut. Boulnois, of the Bengal Enginerrs, killed while on duty. Col. Peyton was present at every engagement which took place with the hill tribes during the above period, and subsequently was on special service on the frontier of Tibet, for which he received the thanks of the Government. During the Indian Mutiny he narrowly escaped falling into the hands of the Sealkote mutineers at the engagement at the Peshawur outbreak as second in command of the 18th Punjab Irregulars, the commanding officer and two other European officers present being all severely wounded (medal). His commission as Captian dated from Aug. 31, 1858, when the East India Company was broken up, and he then joined the 18th Hussars, which regiment was that year revived. He remained with the 18th Hussars until April 17, 1869, when he obtained a majority in the 7th Dragoon Guards. Becoming Lieutenant-Colonel June 28, 1871, he retired May 3, 1876, receiving the value of his commission. Col. Peyton had passed the interpreter's examination in Hindustani, and had taken degrees of high proficiency in the Urdu and Persian languages at the colleges of Calcutta and Madras, receiving a reward of £400. His son is Brig.-Gen. W.E. Peyton, D.S.O. (late 15th Hussars), who now commands the Meerut Cavalry Brigade. --- "Truth" 26 May 1909, page 6: Colonel John Peyton, who died last week, had a very distinguished career in India between 1854 and 1858. He received the thanks of Lord Dalhousie (then Governor-General) for his valuable services on the frontier of Tibet, and he was conspicuous on several occasions during the Mutiny. Colonel Peyton afterwards commanded the 7th Dragoon Guards for some years, but he was a comparatively young man when he retired from the Army. At one time hewas a well-known figure in sporting circles. --- "Sporting Times" 29 May 1909, page 7: Another death that we have to lament is of that fine soldier Colonel John Peyton, who was the first chairman of the Kempton Park Company. He began his soldiering in the 87th Royal Irish Fusiliers, and after a time in India exchanged into the 18th Hussars, from which regiment he again exchanged to the 7th Dragoon Guards, which he commanded for a number of years. In 1871 we were at the first meeting that was held in Paris after the war, and there noted the slovenly appearance of the French cavalry, one of whose officers we saw tumble over his own sword. On the following Tuesday Colonel Peyton came into Newmarket at the head of his regiment, which was marching to Norwich, and we were much struck with his magnificent soldierly appearance, as well as that of the regiment generally, in contrast to what we had seen in France. Colonel Peyton lived to see his son champion Man-at-Arms of the British Army and Colonel of the 13th Hussars. "Jack" Peyton, as he was familiarly called, retired from racing some years ago. The last meeting he attended was at Liverpool, staying at the Queen's Hotel, Manchester, in company with his old friends, the late Mr. Redfern, Captain Pigott, and the late Major Billington, who was known to his friends as "The Sealed Pattern." During the period when Colonel Peyton was more actively connected with racing, a little coterie dined together two or three times a week, when a frequent hose, or guest, was Parson Drake, who used to ride as "Mr. Ekard," and was a brother of "Squire" Drake, of Shardeloes. Other were Mr. Redfern, who for a long time was Father of the Turf, and Captain Pigott. --- "The New Annual Army List for 1881" H.G. Hart, John Murray, 1881, page 624: Lt. Colonel J. Peyton served as an Engineer Officer on the Peshawur Frontier in 1854-55, and remodelled the Forts of Michnee, Shubkudder, and Abozai, between the Khyber Pass and Cabool river, in front of an enemy, his men having on more than one occasion been shot down at their work, and his predecessor Lieut. Bulnois of the Bengal Engineers killed in discharge of that duty; was present at every engagement which took place with the Hill Tribes during the above period. Received the thanks of Government for special services on the frontier of Thibet. Served during the Indian mutiny of 1857-8 and narrowly escaped falling into the hands of the Sealkote mutineers at the engagement on the Ravee under General Nicholson; was present at the Peshawur outbreak as 2nd in Command of the 18th Punjaub Irregulars, the Commanding Officer, the Adjutant, and the Doing Duty Officer, the only other European officers present, being all three severely wounded (Medal). Lt. Colonel Peyton has passed the Interpreter's Examination in Hindostanee and taken degrees of high proficiency in the Oordoo and Persian languages at the Colleges of Calcutta and Madras, and received the reward --- 400 pounds. | Peyton, John (I00668)

(brother of Sir Robert Baring) and the Rev. John Bain, rector of Winfreth, and only son of Dr. Bain, of Heffleton, near Wareham, in the county of Dorset. Having on the evening of the 9th instant walked to the sea shore at Arish Mill, near the Castle, they were induced by the calmness of the sea to row out in a small boat belonging to Mr. Baring, which unfortunately upsetting, they were both drowned. This melancholy event becomes more afflictive from the circumstance of Mrs. Baring and the two Miss Bains accompanying them to the shore, and being eye-witnesses of the painful sight. While attempting to change places in the boat it upset within a hundred yards of the shore. The spring tides setting very stron off this rocky coast, probably prevented their being able to reach the shore. Mr. Baring was found in a short time, and every means used to restore animation, but it was too late. Mr. Bain's body has not yet been discovered. Mr. Baring was marriaged to Miss Thomson, the sister of Mr. Andrew Thomson, of the firm of Thomson, Bonar, and Co. --- "The Suffolk Chronicle" 15 Jul 1820, page 2: DEATH OF MR.

| 81 | --- "Captain Cohonny: Constantine Maguire of Tempo 1777-1834" by W.A. Maguire, 2004, page 14-5: At the time of the marriage, Frances Hawkins had been Abercorn's acknowledged mistress for several years. The only clue we have as to how this came about is a remark made by her counsel in a matrimonial lawsuit many years later. 'This Lady', said the barrister, 'who is most highly respcetable by birth and connexions, had unfortunately by a most singular and deplorable combination of unfortunate circumstances, fallen in early youth. She had fallen, however, into generous hands . . .,' namely those of 'a Nobleman now no more' (Abercorn died in 181`8). At the height of the affair, Abercorn set up his mistress in a fine house in Beaumont Street, Piccadilly. By the time of his third marriage, in 1800, when he was living more at the Priory, Mrs. Hawkins was established nearby, just across the park. Gossip reported that Lady Anne was obliged to be civil to her rival; she was even said to have conveyed her husband to his mistress's door on occasion. Given the notorious formality with which the Abercorns conducted their matirmonial relations, this is perhaps doubtful, but the only surviving letter to Abercorn from Frances ('Fan') includes the sentence, 'I am going to write to Lady A.', so there was civility at least. During her reign as his official mistress Frances gave birth to several children of Abercorn's. The favourite child was John James Hamilton or Fitzjames, born in 1800. He and an older sister are mentioned in the letter from Frances to her lover just referred to, which was apparently preserved only because Abercorn used the back of it to scribble notes for a speech on. Undated but probably about 1804, it goes as follows: Dearest J.J. I looked out for you yesterday, but saw you not!! Polly is at home. I had a letter from her this morning. I have been quite idle and good-for-nothing these two days, and of course the hours hang heavy, which they generally do when J.J. is not looked for. I hear dear Lord Hamilton [Aberconr's son and heir by his first wife; died 1814] is almost well. No news. Expect a long list of complaints from little J.J. We are all very naughty! Little girl [probably their daughter Hariot] plagues my life about her lessons. I have sworn this day to give up all further annoyance to her or myself. I am going to write to Lady A. God bless you, best and dearest J.J. Ever your affectionate and grateful Fan. The relationship between Abercorn and Frances was clearly an affectionate one: anyone who knew him would have been amazed that she could dare to address him so informally. Characteristically, Abercorn defied convention --- defied all decency, some of his critics said --- by commissioning a picture of Frances and young J.J. from the most fashionable portrait painter of the time, Thomas Lawrence R.A. (later Sir Thomas and President of the Academy) and exhibiting it publicly in the Academy's 1806 exhibition. . . . When the boy died suddenly in 1808, aged only eight, Abercorn and Frances were stricken with grief. Abercorn had his remains buried in the Hamilton family's vault at Stanmore, and erected a memorial to him in the grounds of the Priory. The inscription runs as follows: In the Garden which, having been a scene of amusement to six other beloved Children, had just been dedicated to the amusement of John James Hamilton, this stone is dedicated to his Memory. He was a sweet and promising Child! Born, on an inauspicious day of the Year 1800, in 1808, on 29 April . . . he died! Happy for himself! For he had not yet committed Fault or felt Unkindness or known Misfortune: but to the bitter Anguish of his surviving parents. Long before their favourit boy's death, the affair between his parents had begun to cool. . . . | Hawkins, Frances Matilda (I01394)

Miss Somerset's death occurred quite suddenly on Tuesday last. This even will be much regretted by many friends who used to visit the two sisters, the younger of whom, Miss Katherine Somerset, survives, at their pleasant house in Chesterfield-street.

| 89 | --- "Country Life" Vol. 168, page 1459: She concludes rather sadly: "He was very glad, he said, to see me again, for he had now only two old friends left, myself and another. His son, who was wounded in Portugal, is now recovering. He had a most narrow escape, being shot through the throat, but the windpipe escaped. The son was Henry Lygone, Lord Beauchamp's third. He had been fighting with the British Army in the attempt to relieve Almerda. Col. Willoughby Cotton, later General Sir Willoughby Cotton, wrote to a family friend asking him to break the news of the wound, saying that Lygon had been attended by Wellington's own surgeon. Cotton called him "the most intimate friend I have and as gallant an officer as ever served". --- A mention in "Birmingham Daily Post" (25 Feb 1891) states the following about the graves of the older Lygons: "The earlier members of the family, from the time when a title was conferred upon its direct line of succession, were buried within the park, where a smaller edifice stood until the new church was finished and consecrated. Six tablets of white marble, at the west end of the church, are graven with the brief records of their births and deaths, but with little else. The largest tablet, which has a central position behind the small font, is also the most interesting . . ." --- "Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard" 03 Sep 1844, page 1: The Earl of St. Germans is surrounded by a select party at Port Eliot, the noble Earl's seat, in Conrwall. The Earl of Harrowby has arrived on a visit to the Earl. Lord Eliot, the Secretary for Ireland, joined Lady Jemima Eliot and family on Monday. The Hon. General Lygon and Miss Lygon are among the visitors. --- "The Gentleman's Magazine" Vol. 15, 1863, page 506-7: General Earl Beauchamp. Sept. 8. At Madresfield Court, Great Malvern, aged 79, the Rt. Hon. Earl Beauchamp. The deceased nobleman, Henry Beauchamp Lygon, Earl Beauchamp, Viscount Elmley, and Baron Beauchamp of Powyke, Worcestershire, in the peerage of the United Kingdom, was the third son of William Lygon, first Earl, by his marriage with Catherine, only daughter of James Denn, Esq. He entered the army July 9, 1803, served in the Peninsula with the 16th Dragoons at the capture of Oporto, battles of Talavera and Busaco, and elsewhere, and was very severely wounded at Busaco. He eventually became a General in the army, Colonel in succession of the 10th Hussars and the 2nd Life Guards, and Gold Stick in Waiting to the Queen. As General Lygon, he sat in the House of Commons for the county of Worcester before the passing of the Reform Bill, and afterwards for the Western Division of the county --- altogether for more than a quarter of a century. He was first elected for the county in 1816; and during the Reform agitation, being opposed to the measure, the noble Earl, then General Lygon, was defeated. This was the only defeat he ever sustained. The Reform Bill passed in the next year, and Worcestershire was separated into two divisions, East and West, and at the election consequent upon that division General Lygon was elected for West Worcestershire, and continued to sit for the division until his elevation to the Upper House. In politics he was a Conservative. In 1853 he succeeded his brother, John Reginald, third Earl. In 1824 he married Lady Susan Caroline Eliot, second daughter of William second Earl of St. Germans; she was born April 12, 1801, and died January 15, 1835. The had issue--- Felicia Susan, born in 1825, and died in 1848, having married the Rev. Charles Cavendish; Georgiana Harriet, born in 1826, died in 1827; William, born in 1828, died in 1834; Henry, Viscount Elmley, Captain 1st Life Guards, and M.P. (now Earl Beauchamp), born 1829; Hon. Frederick, M.P. for Tewkesbury, born 1830; Lady Georgiana (now Lady Raglan), born 1832; and Reginald, born and died in 1834. 'The death of Henry Beauchamp Lygon, fourth Earl Beauchamp,' says a local paper, 'will create a void which will not be readily filled up. In him the nation has lost a faithful and trustworthy servant and soldier; the county of Worcester an ornament of which it was justly proud, and a benefactor whose help was always to be reckoned upon when any charitable or benevolent work was on hand; while in all the various duties of a country gentleman he was a model for universal imitation. As a landlord, perhaps no man was ever more attached to or beloved by his tenantry than the late Earl. Considerate, kind, and affable, the transactions between them afforded occasions of mutual gratification, for to his numerous tenants a meeting with the Earl on matters of business was a meeting of pleasure.' The first Earl, William Lygon (ennobled in 1806, and who was M.P. for Worcestershire for upwards of thirty years), was the son of Reginald Pyndar, who took the name of Lygon after the family of his mother, who was descended in the female line from the extinct house of Beauchamp, Lords Beauchamp of Powyke. The present peer, before named as Viscount Elmley, was born Feb. 13, 1829, and entered the army as cornet in the First Life Guards in 1843; he is now senior captain of the regiment. He was elected member for the western division of Worcestershire in March, 1853, and continued to represent the county in the House of Commons until his elevation to the House of Lords. --- "Worcestershire Chronicle" 19 Oct 1864, page 3: THE LATE EARL BEAUCHAMP. Two handsome memorial tablets have just been erected in the church at Madresfield, in record of the deaths of the late Earl Beauchamp and his wife, Lady Susan Lygon. They bear the following inscriptions:--- "To the memory of Henry Beauchamp Lygon, 4th Earl Beauchamp, Colonel of Her Majesty's Second Regiment of Life Guards. Born January 6th, 1785, died September 8th, 1863. He was eleven times chosen knight of the shire for the couty of Worcester." "To Lady Susan Lygon, 2nd daughter of William, 2nd Earl of St. Germans, married in 1824, to henry, afterwards 4th Earl Beauchamp, died 1835. This tablet was erected in affectionate remembrance by her three surviving children, Henry, 5th Earl Beauchamp, Frederick Lygon, Georgiana (Lady Raglan)." The tablets were executed by My. Joseph Stephens, sculptor, Copenhagen-street, of this city. | Lygon, 4th Earl Beauchamp, Henry Beauchamp (I00573)

These villains have, for several months, committted a number of robberies on board ships in different parts of the river, particularly below Bridge, and on lighters and small craft out of number: Hardly a house on the different solitary banks of the river, but has been either attempted or broke open by them, and plundered of various effects; nay, so audacious have these wretches been, that in the open day-light they have rowed off and stopped boats on the river, and robbed the passengers of their watches and money. --- "Kentish Gazette" 26 Nov 1783, page 1 Saturday, Nov. 22. London. Wednesday morning about four o'clock, a fellow was discovered coming out of Lord Grantham's house, at Whitehall, going towards the water side; a waterman interrogated him what he had been doing there; the other having his party in view, threatened him with instant death if he obstructed him; he accordingly went to a boat, which instantly rowed off. A few hours after the family was in confusion; all the jewels, gold medals, rings, &c. as well as the wardrobe of his Lordship and Lady Grantham were missing: happily the thieves missed the plate, (or the loss must have been still more considerable) as it was all packed up in a private place ever since Saturday evening, when there was a feast, on the christening of his Lordship's third son. --- "Stamford Mercury" 31 Mar 1786, page 2 Lord Grantham lies danerously ill at his house at Whitehall. --- "Derby Mercury" 6 Apr 1786, page 1 London, (Thursday) April 6.

His Lordship has been extremely ill, but we are glad to hear he is now much recovered. --- "Oxford Journal" 17 Jun 1786, page 1 Lord Grantham came to Town on Saturday last from Peckham in such a debilitated State, that his Recovery is despaired of; his Lordship was not able to support himself from his Carriage to the Door. --- "Leeds Intelligencer" 25 Jul 1786, page 3 London, July 22.

Robert Nugent, Esq; Member of Parliament for the City of Bristol, and one of the Lords of the Treasury; by whose Death a large Estate comes to her Son James Newsham, Esq; Member for St. Maw's in Cornwall, who lies dangerously ill at Oxford, in the Road to Town. --- "Memoir of Earl Nugent" by Claud Nugent,1898 , page 9-14: On March 23, 1736, Nugent married Anne, the daughter of James Craggs, the Postmaster-General, and sister of Secretary Craggs, Pop's and Addison's intimate friend, who were both so deeply involved in the South Sea scheme; the Postmaster-General having been proved by the Committee of Secrecy appointed to inquire into the management of the Company, to have received from the directors a bribe of 40,000 l. stock. He died in a lethargic fit on the night before the Secret Committee was to report to the House of Commons on his case, and as it was discovered that he had realized no less a sum that 69,000 l. by his transactions in the South Sea, the rumour was not unnaturally spread abroad that he had taken poison to avert public disgrace. Secretary Craggs was not convicted of actual fraud, and Pope, one of his staunchest friends, ardently maintained his innocence. "There never lived," he wrote, "a more worthy nature, a more disinterested mind, a more open and friendly temper, than Mr. Craggs. A little time, I doubt not, will clear up a character which the world will learn to value and admire when it has none such remaining in it." Two year later, however, he died of smallpox, being then in the thirty-sixth year of his age. Anne Craggs had first married, in 1712, John Newsham of Chadshunt in Warwickshire, by whom she had one son only. Her second husband was John Knight, M.P. successively for St. Germains and Sudbury, by whom also she had one son only, who died in 1727. John Knight, her second husband, died in 1733, bequeathing to her all his estates, including the beautiful seat of Gosfield Hall in Essex, and a very considerable sum of money. She also shared with her two sisters, Mrs. Trefusis and Mrs. Eliot, her father's fortune, which was in itself ample enough, although the executors were compelled by Act of Parliament to refund the 69,000 l. which he had realized by his transactions with the South Sea Company. She also shared with her sisters the fortune of her brother, the Secretary. Nugent is said to have recieved with her 100,000 l. in money and estates, in additions to the seat for St. Mawe's; Nugent's own fortune, in is stated amounting to 1,500 l. a year. To his marriage with "fat and ugly dame" (whose name he took in addition to his own, and who was five years his senior) Nugent owed his first real advancement in life, for her great wealth placed him in an influential posiition at as early an age as thirty-four, and obtained for him a seat in Parliament for St. Mawe's in Cornwall. He took the name of Craggs as a prefix to that of Nugent. The marriage seems to have excited some amusement in social circles. The bride was something of an oddity, and was the subject of a good deal of not entirely good-natured laughter. For instance, we find Mrs. Anne Granville, afterwards Mrs. Delany, writing on May 6, 1737, to Mrs. Catheirne Collingwood at Bath--- "There have been weddings without number this spring, but none so much talked of as Mrs. Knight's, who is most ridiculous. She says that 'she and Mr. Nugent have been in the country attended only by the boy Cupid.' I could tell you many more of her bon mots, but fancy you have enough of them. . . . Nugent's second marriage was certainly an unfortunate one. His wife was five years older than himself, and, though she brought him great wealth, she bore him no children, nor did she contribute greatly to his personal happiness. They were both possessed of hasty tempers, and were continually quarrelling in private, though in public they appeared to be the best of friends. Mrs. Nugent seems to have been quite a character, and many amusing incidents relating to her lie scattered over the pages of Walpole. She was worse than plain; she is described as "very ugly," and she was enormously fat. Horace Walpole narrates how that the chairmen who were drive two pigs to Park Place (of such proportions that he likens them Ziechi Miechi, the Chinese God of good eating and drinking), got drunk on the way, and in excuse for the delay declared that the creatures got unruly, ran away, and would not be managed. "Do but think of their running!" says Walpole; "it puts me in mind of Mrs. Nugent's talking of just jumping out of a coach!" Mrs. Nugent was very fond of entertaining, both in the country and in London; and her husband's wit, together with her own amiability, rendered her dinner-parties and assemblies most popular. . . . Walpole gives an amusing account of a visit he paid to Gosfield . . . [follows a rather mean account] . . . Mrs. Eliot [Elizabeth, widow of Edward] . . . has built herself a very pretty small house in the Park, and is only a dialy visitor. . . . Mrs. Bugent died in 1756, aged 59, and was buried at Gosfield. It is difficult to believe that she was much regretted by her husband, when we find that he married another wife in teh following year; but she was lamented by a large circle of friends by whom she had been greatly liked. . . . | Craggs, Anne (I00179)

| 101 | --- "Dublin Evening Post" 17 Sep 1840, page 3: It is our painful duty to announce the death of Mrs. Peyton, wife of Wynne Peyton, Esq, of Springfield, county Roscommon, J.P., who departed this life on the 16th instant, in the 32d year of her age, after a protracted illness of ten months, which she bore with truly christian RESIgnation. In every relation of life -- as a daughter, wife, mother or friend -- she possessed in a superior degree those qualities which cased her to be beloved by all who enjoyed the pleasure of her acquaintance. By her death the poor of the surrounding neighbourhood have been deprived of a generous benefactress, her hands being at all times and seasons extended in dispensing charity. To her children the love of God, and submission to his will, were ever inculcated, and to her friends and acquaintances her pious and affectionate demeanour made her be looked on as a perfect model of imitation. Her last moments were truly exemplary; after imparting her blessing to her beloved husband and children, by whom she was surrounded, she calmly RESIgned her soul to her Creator, who seemed to grant her the blessing of a happy death, which she so long prayed for, and which the heavenly joy that appeared on her countenance at that moment clearly manifested. -- May she rest in peace. --- Ancestry.com Message Boards reply (dated 12 Feb 2017): Written by Batjac11 If you are still out there and are still interested, Wynne Peyton was the son of William Peyton and Dame Jane Chambers O'Rorke. Jane was married to Hugh O'Rorke of Creevagh, County Sligo, who died in January of 1790. Jane remarried to William Peyton later that same year. Wynne Peyton was for a time in the 1840's living in the townland of Cartown in County Leitrim about a mile north of Carrick On Shannon. James Coyne Esq. rented the biggest house in Cartown, and Wynne married his daughter, and only child Maria. Cartown was owned by John Hamilton Peyton, Wynne Peytons cousin. John Hamilton Peyton was the son of Hamilton Peyton and Susanna Chambers of the townland of Port, close by Cartown. Susanna and Jane Chambers were sisters born in County Mayo. I am descended from Hugh Peter O'Rorke, Wynne Peyton's half-brother who also lived in Cartown at the same time. Hope this helps. --- "Dublin Evening Mail", 21 Sep 1840 --- seen on BritishNewspaperArchive.co.uk (I have a digital copy.) Deaths.

The admirable performance of that Gentleman manifested how highly deserving he was of this mark of the public favour; but to us the chief attraction of the evening consisted in perceiving in one of the boxes young Mr. Pringle (son of Captain Pringle, of Caledon, in the county Tyrone, nephew to the late general Pringle) sharing in an amusement to him perfectly new which he beheld with delight. But a few weeks since this young Gentleman about 22 years old, and his two sisters, were entirely strangers to the blessing of sight all of them having been born blind but they are now so far recovered that they have already learned their letters. They were operated on by Mr. Adams, the celebrated Oculist, from Exeter, who we most anxiously wish will be again induced to visit this country, where, by this unrivalled skill and his humanity to the poor, he has done so much good.

Pringle's family is nearly connected to our celebrated countryman, Dr. Babingdon, professor of Chemistry at Gay's Hospital in London.

Sir--- I have this day the honor of your letter of the 4th inst. and I feel great pleasure in assuring you that Mr. Adams has most completely succeeded in my three children, as well as many others in this country. He is at present in Dublin, but, whether he will return to London by way of Scotland, I cannot inform you, I shall transmit your letter to him, and no doubt, he will inform you of his intentions.

William Eliot, M.P. for Liskeard, in Cornwall, and eldest daughter of Sir William P.A. a'Court, Baronet, of Heytesbury-house, co. Wilts. To the amianle virtue of her life and manners it would not be easy to do justice by any brief description. To all who knew her, indeed, this would be superfluous; as they must be warmly impressed, not merely on their memories, but on their hearts. Here they saw no deceptive art; no lure for applause; no wiles to obtain popularity; no self-complacent vanities, that make large claims for little pretensions; nor did they here see all the courtesies of life confined to common-place civility; or even to the observance of the mere routine of more refined politeness; but an ardour of benevolence, that ever looked beyond self; that gave a life and soul to every word and act; an infinite grace and sweetness to her every movement; for it was not that mere good humour which flows from an exuberance of spirits, undistinguishing and indiscriminate; but was ever attended with that delicate and intuitive sense of propriety, which scarcely could err, that actuated her in every relative situation; that made the daughter, the sister, the wife, the mother, the friend, admirable and excellent in all:--- that, in a word, gave her such an attractiveness, that in her elegant mien and form Benevolence herself might seem to be personified. As her demeanour in society was ever unaffected and unassuming; so, with the same uniform consistency, her piety, however deeply-seated , was unobtrusive; her charity, however attentive, unostentation. The death of this very amiable woman inflicts a loss on her family that seems irreparable. But the disposals of Infinite Wisdom preclude every repining thought; and awfully claim our most implicit acquiescence. Her example, however, we believe, will not soon be forgotten; and will, we trust, be often the subject of imitation. Happy for the world were it more general. Such gentler virtues, though in "the noiseless tenour of their way" they may have little of that splendour which attracts the giddy throng; yet, with all our imperfections, they are felt to be indeed the delight and best ornament of the present scene; and "their final reward," we humbly hope, is with the Most High! --- Memorial in family pew, Heytesbury Church: Sacred to the memory of the Honourable Laetitia Eliot, eldest daughter of Sir William Pierce Ashe à Court Baronet. She died in her first childbed of twins, born dead, on the 20th January 1810, aged 31. Let those who mourn in proportion as they once revered and loved her. Let those whose distresses have been relieved by her benevolence or soothed by her gentleness pay the best tribute to her memory by allowing her mild example of influence on their hearts and lives; Let those sometimes look at this memorial and contemplate the benefit to be derived from a lively recollection of her piety and charity in the season of prosperity and ease and of her meekness and RESIgnation when the Almighty changed the manner of her trial and stretched her on the bed of suffering pain and death. | A'Court, Letitia (I00007)

| 132 | --- "Freeman's Journal", 08 Jan 1861, page 3: It is with much regret we record the death of the Rev. Wynne Peyton, late curate of Dysart; parish in this diocese. He died on Saturday night, 29th December, at his father's residence, near Drumlyon chapel, in the 29th year of his age. His death was not at all unexpected, he has been ill for the last two years, although labouring zealously on the mission up to a few months before his demise. He caught a severe cold after being removed about two years ago from Frenchpark in the depth of winter, and when beginning to recover he was removed from Frenchpark to Dysart, which brought on a relapse, and from that relapse he never rallied. Deceased was fifth son of Wynne Peyton, Esq., of Springfield. In early youth he gave signs of a vocation and was devoted, like another Samuel, by his pious mother to serve in God's Temple. He studied for several years in Cardinal Wiseman's college, and was sent after to the Irish College, Paris. Since his ordination he laboured like an Apostle during his short but brillian career, and the example of zeal he set will be long remembered by all who knew him. He was a man of promise and of talent. In him the diocese of Elphin has lost one of her most devoted priests. There was a solemn requiem mass on Monday for the Rev. Mr. Peyton, at which the Rev. Michael O'Beirne, C.C., Croghan, was celebrant; Very Rev. Dr. Dawson, deacon, and Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald (Carrick-on-Shannon), sub-deacon, assisted by the neighbouring clergy. He was interred on New Year's Day in Ardcarne churchyard, where his beloved mother reposed, and we have not witness for a long time past so large a concourse of people at any funeral, nor such manifestations of real, genuine, heart-felt sorrow. --- May he rest in peace. --- Roscommon Herald. --- "Freeman's Journal", 15 Jan 1861, page 3: DEATH OF THE REV. W. PEYTON, C.C. --- We sincerely regret to have to record the death of the Rev. Wynne Peyton, late curate of Dysart, in this diocese. One of the most amiable of men, and an indefatigable minister of God, the death of this young clergyman is deeply mourned by all who had the happiness of his acquaintance, and by none more than by the poor, who were so much indebted to his active benevolence. The lamented gentleman, whose death took place on the 29th ult., at his father's residence, Drumlyon, was for some time labouring under illness, and in consequence was unable to undertake active duty for two or three months to his decease. On the 31st viz., there was a solemn requiem mass for this lamented clergyman, the Rev. Mr. O'Beirne, C.C., Killucan, as a priest celebrant; the Very Rev. Dr. Dawson, V.G., as deacon; and the Rev. Thomas Fitzgerald, subdeacon. The funeral took place on New Year's Day, when the mortal remains of the Rev. Mr. Peyton were interred in the churchyard of Ardcarna; the sincere regrets of those present testifying to the real worth of this excellent clergyman who has gone to reap the reward of the good and faithful servant. --- Sligo Champion. | Peyton, Wynne Chambers (I00684)

The funeral of the late lamented Lady Acland took place on Saturday evening last, in the yard of the old family chapel of Columbjohn, and was attended in large numbers by the tenantry and their wives, by the poor, and by almost the whole neighbourhood. The scene was one of the most simple but affecting description, and the demeanour of all present evinced not only their reverence for the sacred rite then performing, but also their deep feeling for the departed, and her surviving relatives. The funeral was attended by Sir Thomas Acland and his four sons, by several grandchildren, by Lady Acland's nephews (sons of her brothers, Mr. George and Archdeacon Hoare) by Lord Carnarvon, Lord and Mr. Charles Courtenay, Right Hon. John Fortescue, Mr. Hoare of Luscombe, Mr. Blencowe, Mr. Jenkinson, Dr. Miller, and several other private friends. In the evening the procession started from the house, soon after six o'clock, and consisted of a hearse and four horses; mourning coaches with four horses each; three private carriages; and by some 300 or 400 of the tenantry on the estate. The Rev. J. Hellings, and the Rev. Appom officiated on the occasion. As a proof of the reverential feeling exhibited by the attendants, it may be stated that on the Lord's Prayer, in the funeral service, being commenced, everyone in the chapel-yard, amounting to several hundreds, immediately knelt, and continued in that posture till the whole was concluded. | Hoare, Lydia Elizabeth (I01108)

Commencing with the officers of the staff, we find amongst the list of killed:--- . . . Captain the Hon. Granville Charles Cornwallis Eliot, Coldstream Guards, second son of the Earl St. Germans, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. Captain the Hon. Henry Aldworth Neville, Grenadier Guards, third son of Lord Braybrooke, whose youngest son, the Hon. Grey Neville, was severely wounded in the cavalry engagement on the heights of Balaklava on the 25th ult. --- "Essex Herald" 28 Nov 1854, page 2: SAFFRON WALDON. Amongst the killed at Inkerman was Capt. the Hon. Henry Aldworth Neville, Grenadier Guards, third son of Lord Braybrooke, whose youngest son, the Hon. Grey Neville, was severely wounded in the cavalry engagement on the heights of Balaklava, on the 25th ultimo. The Patriotic Fund.--- A public meeting in furtherance of this object was held at the Town-hall, on Friday last, James Starling, Esq. mayor, in the chair, when it was moved by the Rev. R. Clutton, vicar, seconded by Joshua Clarke, Esq. ex-mayor, and resolved unanimously "That this meeting anxious to evince its sympathy for the widows and orphans of those soldiers, sailors, and marines of her Majesty's forces who may fall in battle or die whilst engaged in the present war, pledges itself earnestly to promote subscriptions in aid of the Patriotic Fund, for the relief, education, and support of such widows and orphans." An active and influential committee was forthwith appointed to carry the above resolution into effect. The same meeting unanimously resolved to forward a vote of condolence and sympathy to the Right Hon. Lord Braybrooke, in consequence of the great grief his family have been thrown into by the death in the battle of Inkerman, of his son the Hon. H. Aldworth Neville. --- Before the meeting separated between 30 pounds and 40 pounds was subscribed, and on Saturday the rev. the vicar and others of the committee commenced a house to house collection. The Board of Guardians of the Walden Union have also forwarded a letter of condolence to Lord Braybrooke and his family. Mr. Neville, we learn, fell with 4 bullets in his person, and lingered for 7 hours; yet, painful as this fact is, it must be a considerable relief to the feelings of the mournful circle that they have heard from their youngest son, Mr. Grey Neville, who was wounded at Balaklava, that he is doing well. --- "Chelmsford Chronicle" 12 Oct 1855, page 3: SAFFRON WALDON. During the past week a neat and eleaborate mural monument has been placed in the chancel of the parish church, to the memory of the two sons of the Right Hon. Lord Braybrooke, who nobly fell during the Crimea campaign. The design and execution of this memento was entrusted to that eminent artist, Mr. Thomas Milnes, of 3, Judd Place East, London, and reflects the highest praise on his artistic skill. The following is the inscription on the tablet:--- "Sacred to the Memory of two gallant young Officers, the third and fifth sons of Lord and Lady Braybrooke, who, having accompanied their Regiments to the Crimea, were both cut off in the short space of the week while nobly fighting for their Queen and country. The Hon. Henry Aldworth Neville, Captain in the Grenadier Guards, after sharing in the glories of the memorable day, at Alma, was mortally wounded at the battle of Inkermann, Nov. 5th, 1854, and expired a few hours after, aged 30. The Hon. Grey Neville, Cornet in teh 5th Dragoon Guards, died in the hospital at Scutari, Nov. 11th, 1854, of wounds received in the charge of the heavy cavalry, at Balaclava, Oct. 25th, aged24.

John Guest, Bart. --- "Salisbury and Winchester Journal" 31 May 1862, page 7: DEATH OF AUGUSTUS FREDERICK GUEST, ESQ.--- Our obiturary of this week contains a record of the death of Augustus Frederick Guest, Esq., fourth son of the late Sir John Guest, Bart., of Canford Manor, near Poole. The deceased had only been ill a short time, and his death --- which arose from congestion of the lungs --- was quite unexpected to the members of his family. He had arrived at Canford on the previous Saturday from London, somewhat indisposed and depressed in spirits, but his illness was not such as to cause any apprehension of danger, and we believe it was not until Wednesday that serious fears were entertained of his recovery. His death, which took place on Friday, may therefore be regarded as of a somewhat sudden character. Deceased was of a generous disposition, and was greatly esteemed and respected in every circle of society in which he moved. His death is therefore deeply deplored, not only by the members of his own family and the household, to whom he had endeared himself by his kindness and affability, but also by all who were fortunate enough to have made his acquaintance. The funeral, which was of a strictly private character, took place on Wednesday, at Canford. His remains were interred in the manor vault at the Canford Cemetery. The Hon. and Rev. Walter Ponsonby read the burial service in a very impressive manner. The pall was borne by the principal tenants of the estate. A number of persons assembled to witness the interment, and all appeared to lament the loss of so promising a young gentleman as deceased, whose many excellencies had rendered him a general favorite. | Guest, Augustus Frederick (I00410)

We understand the deceased General, who had been out walking, came home shortly before three o'clock, and complained of a pain in his left shoulder. This did not give any alarm. At half-past four he suddenly fell down in his room and expired. The deceased was Colonel of the 45th Regiment, and had been in the army upwards of forty-eight years. He served throughout the Peninsular war under the Duke of Wellington, and for his distinguished services at Salamanca, the passage of the Pyrenees, Nicolle, and Nive, received a cross. Subsequently he was severely wounded in France in Februrary, 1814. In consideration of his bravery on several occasions he was nominated a G.C.B.

He entered the army as Cornet, July 6, 1792, was Lieutenant Feb. 1803, Captain Oct 1794, Major in the 111th foot, Spet. 1794; Lieut.-Colonel 1799; Capt. and Lieut.-Colonel in the 2nd foot gurads 1802; Colonel in the army 1809; and Major-General, Jan. 1, 1812. In the last-named year he was appointed upon the staff of the Peninsular army; and he commanded a brigade at the battles of Salamanca, Pyrenees, and Nivelle. He received the thanks of the House of Commons in person, after the battle of Salamanca, on the 10th Feb. 1813; and two votes of thanks on the 24th June 1814, for the battles of Pyrenees and Orthes, and Nivelle. In Feb. 1814 he was severely wounded in France. On the 12th May following he was appointed Colonel of the Royal Newfoundland Fencibles; on the 1st April 1816 he was promoted to the 64th foot; and in 1838 to the 45th, having attained the rank of Liet.-General in 1825. He was appointed a Knight Commander of the Bath on the enlargement of the order in Jan. 1815, and had subsequently been advanced to be Grand Cross. Sir W. H. Pringle formerly sat in Parliament fo 1820 and 1825 for the borough of Liskeard, which was in the patronage of his wife's family. He married in 1806 Hester-Harriet Pitt, only child of the Hon. Edward James Eliot, eldest son of Edward Craggs Lord Eliot, by Lady Harriet Pitt, second daughter of William first Earl of Chatham. This lady (who is niece to the present Earl of St. Germans) survives him. His death was so sudden that a coroner's inquest was considered necessary, when it was found that it had been occasioned by disease of the heart. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --- "Cobbett's Political Register" Vol. 24, 1813, page 247: July 31, 1813. My Lord, I have the satisfaction to acquaint your Lordship that, although from the immense superiority of force, which the enemy directed against the position intrusted to my charge, yesterday it became, in my opinion, imperiously necessary for me to retire from that ground: the conduct fo the officers and troops, British and Portuguese, was such as to entitle them to my entire approbation, and I could not have wished it to be better. ---- Major-General Pringle, with Major General Walker's brigade, under Lieut.-Colonel Fitzgerald, of the 60th regiment, supported by the 34th regiment, and 14th Portuguese regiment, opposed the ascent of the enemy to the ridge on the left of the position, in a most gallant style; drove him repeatedly back, and although unable ultimately to prevent him from ascending the ridge, by a more distant movement, our troops kept their ground firmly, and when ordered to retire, performed it under Major-General Pringle, with the greatest regularity, and with small loss, covered by a battalion of the 14th Portuguese regiment, under Lieutenant-Colonel McDonald, of the conduct of which officer, and the steadiness of his regiment, the Major-General speaks in terms of the greatest praise. ---- Colonel Ashworth's brigade, also attacked in his position by a superior force, met the attack with the greatest steadiness, and drove the enemy before him at the point of the bayonet, and held his ground as long as I thought it prudent for him to do so; and a battalion of Brigadier-General Costa's brigade held the ridge on the right of the position to the last, covering the formation of the troops on the ground they were directed to take up: the enemy attempted to force the point, but were repulsed by Brigadier-General Costa, and finally driven down the ridge at the point of the bayonet by that battalion, a part of Colonel Ashworth's brigade, and a small detachment of the 28th regiment. On the whole, I can assure your Lordship, that the enemy had nothing to boast of, nor was our loss severe, considering the disparity of our forces. ---- I feel particularly indebted to Major-General Pringle for his conduct on this occasion, as well as to Colonel Ashworth, Colonel O'Callaghan, and Lieutenant-Colonel Fitzgerald, 60th foot, commanding brigades under him, and also to Lieut.-General the Conde d'Amarante, and Brigadier-General Costa, who was wounded. --- I have the honour to be, &c.

In his report of the affair Wellington ascribed the loss of the guns to Stewart's interference with Pringle's orders, which statement called forth a very angry letter of protest from Stewart. Wellington retorted with still more mordant bitterness. "I attributed the loss of the guns then, as I do now," he wrote, "to unfortunate accident, to which the best arrangements must be liable, and above all to that most unfortunate accident of your being absent when the attack was made"; and he flatly declined to reopen the question. Still unabashed, Stewart wrote a second letter, of which Wellington took no notice whatever; but, having by a strange coincidence received almost at the same minute directions to invest Stewart with the Order of the Bath, the Marquis invited him in soothing terms to repair to headquarters for the ceremony, and to bring with him such officers of his division as he desired. Thus, by a touch of irony which no one could have better appreciated than Wellington, a very grave neglect of duty was rewarded by the red ribbon. Stewart was a good trainer of troops and a most gallant soldier; and after his belated return to his men in the action he continued in spite of a severe wound to direct their movements to the end. But looking to his blunder at Albuera, his direct contravention of orders during the retreat from Burgos, and his absence from his post at the mement of d'Erlon's attack at Maya, he would have met with no more than his deserts if he had been immediately sent home in disgrace. --- "The Dispatches of Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington" Vol. 6, 1838, page 642: Lieut. Gen. Sir R. Hill, K.B., to Field Marshal the Marquis of Wellington, K.G. Elizondo, 1st Aug. 1813. I have the honor to acquaint your Lordship, that, in compliance with the instruction I received through Major Gen. Murray, I proceeded yesterday withe the column under my orders, on the road to Dona Maria. . . . The attack on our side was led by Lieut. Gen. Stewart, with Major Gen. Walker's brigade, under Lieut. Col. Fitzgerald of the 60th, who forced back the enemy's skirmishers to the summit of the hill; but coming upon their main body, found them so numerous and so stronly posted, that Lieut. Gen. Stewart was induced to withdraw them until the 7th division should be in closer co-operation with him. About this time the Lieut. General was wounded, and the command of the division devolved upon Major Gen. Pringle, who, with his own brigade, commanded by Col. O'Callaghan, renewed the attack on our side, whilst the 7th division pressed them on the other, and both divisions gained the height about the same time, the enemy retiring, after sustaining a very considerable loss. The conduct of Lieut. Gen. Stewart, Major Gen. Pringle, and of the officers and troops in general, was conspicuously good, and I regret that the the very thick fog prevented our taking that advantage of the situation of the enemy which we might otherwise have done. A part of each division pursued them some distance down the hill, and accasioned them a considerable loss. Having thus far performed your Lordship's instructions, I withdrew my column from the pass, and moved it upon Almandoz. Major Gen. Pringle praises the conduct of Capt. Heise and Capt. Thorn, on this occasion; and I believe it is the intention of Lieut. Gen. Stewart to report the good conduct of some other officers, but his wound has probably delayed it. --- "English Battles and Sieges in the Peninsula" by William F. P. Napier, page 418: Combat of Garris . . . General Hill immediately established himself, and though the evening was beginning to close his skirmishers descended into the ravine, while two guns played over it upon four thousand men, arrayed on the opposite mountain by Harispe. In this state of affairs Wellington arrived. He was anxious to turn the line of the Bidouze before Soult could strengthen himself there . . . he directed Pringle's brigade to attack, saying with concise enegy "The hill must be taken before dark." This expression caught the fancy of the soldiers, and was repeated by Colonel O'Callaghan, as he and Pringle placed themselves at the head of the 39th, which, followed by the 28th, immediately rushed with loud and prolonged shouts into the ravine. Pringle fell wounded, and most of the mounted officers had their horses killed; but the troops, covered by the thick wood, gained the summit of the Garris mountain, on the right of the enemy, who thinking from the shouting that a larger force was coming retreated. . . . --- "Speeches in Communicating Thanks of the House of Commons to Military Commanders, 1807-1816" by Charles Abbot, 1829, pages 54-58: SALAMANCA 10 Feb 1813 Major-general Henry Clinton and Major-general William Henry Pringle being come to the House, Mr. Speaker acquainted them that the House had, upon the 3d day of December last, resolved, that the Thanks of this House be given to them for their distinguished exertions in the battle of Salamanca, upon the 22d of July last, which terminated in a glorious and decisive victory over the enemy's army; and Mr. Speaker gave them the Thanks of the House accordingly, as followeth: Major-General Clinton, and Major-general Pringle, This House is always prompt to acknowledge military merit; and we rejoice to see amongst us those who have signalized their names in war. When the great captain who commands our armies in the Peninsula, after a series of skilful operations, obtained the opportunity for which he had long been anxious, and brought the enemy to action in front of Salamanca: he relates, that the foremost of his troops, in their first onset, drove the enemy from height to height, and bore down all before them; that when the stress of the battle in other points had checked the bravest of our battalions, and disabled some of their most distinguished leaders, the division of which Major-general Pringle then took the command nevertheless steadily maintained the contest; and that when the reserve was brought up by Major-general Clinton, the issue of the day was rendered no longer doubtful, and the victory was by him completed. These plain recitals have marked out your exploits for public applause and admiration, and to these honours your country has also added the tribute of her public gratitude. I do therefore now, in the name and by the command of the Commons of Great Britaing and Ireland, in Parliament assembled, deliver to you, severally, there unanimous thanks, for your distinguished exertions in the battle of Salamanca, upon the 22d of July last, which terminated in a glorious and decisive victory over the enemy's army. Upon which Major-general Clinton said; Mr. Speaker, I assure you, Sir, I set the greatest value on the honour which has been conferred upon me by the vote of the House. I consider such an acknowledgemnt of services rendered to our country to be amongst the highest recompenses which can be bestowed. This honourable reward, added the consciousness which I enjoy of having always zealously endeavoured to be useful to the army and to my country, affords me peculiar gratification; but I should be ungrateful towards those brave men whom I had the honour to command upon the occasion to which you have particularly alluded, if I were not to acknowledge how much I feel indebted for the honour which I have just received, to their noble conduct and persevering gallantry throughout the trials of that arduous but glorious day. I feel, Sir, very sensibly, your kindness in the flattering manner in which you have been so good as to communicate to me the vote of the House, and for which I beg you will do me the honour to accept my sincere thanks. Then Major-general Pringle sais: Mr. Speaker, I feel most sensibly the high honour which has been conferred on me by the thanks of this House. I am well aware that very little of the success of that glorious day at Salamanca can be attributed to any feeble efforts of mine, but to the bravery of those troops which I had the good fortune to command. I shall, however, always consider it as the most fortunate circumstance of my life, the having been placed in a situation which has procured me the high honour which I have this day received. I beg leave to return you, Sir, my thanks for the very flattering terms in which you have been pleased to express yourself on my conduct. -- "Speeches in Communicating Thanks of the House of Commons to Military Commanders, 1807-1816" by Charles Abbot, 1829, pages 74-78: PYRENEES: 24 Jun 1814 Major-general William Henry Pringle being also come to the House, and Lieutenant-general the Honourable Sir William Stewart being present, Mr. Speaker acquainted them, that the House had, upon the 8th day of November last, resolved, that the Thanks of this House be given to them for the valour, steadiness, and exertion, so successfully displayed by them in repelling the repeated attacks made on the psoitions of the allied army, by the whole French force, under the command of Marshal Soult, between the 25th of July and 1st of August last; and Mr. Speaker gave them the Thanks of the House accordingly, as followeth: Lieut.-general Sir William Stewart, and Major General Pringle. It is my duty now to deliver to you conjointly the thanks of this House, for your gallant and meritorious services in those memorable actions which completed the liberation of Spain. The inhabitants of the Pyrenees, who witnessed those mighty conflicts, will long point out to their admiring countrymen, those various heights and passes where the valour of British troops under your command at some times repelled the attacks of superior force, where at other times its steadiness effected a retreat which only led to more certain victory, and where finally it returned with an overwhelming pursuit upon the broken ranks of the enemy: they will also point out, those spots where the gallant officers whom we now see amongst us fought through long and toilsome days, where a Stewart made his stand, and where the noblest blood of Scotland was shed in its defences. The historian of those campaigns will also record that your exploits were honoured with the constant and unqualified praises of that illustrious commander, whose name stands highest upon our roll of military renown. For your important share in those operations, this House thought fit to bestow upon you the acknowledgments of its gratitude; and I do now accordingly, in the name and by the command of the Commons of this United Kingdom, deliver to you their unanimous thanks for the valour, steadiness, and exertion, so successfully displayed by you, in repelling the repeated attacks made on the positions of the allies, by the whole French force, under Marshal Soult, between the 25th of July and 1st of August last, and for your undaunted perseverance, by which the allied army was finally established on the frontier of France. Upon which Lieut.-general Sir William Stewart said: Mr. Speaker, As I have before had the honour of stating, I must feel, Sir, that to others is due from me, while receiving the highest honour that can be bestowed on a British soldier, the report of their admirable conduct during the actions in question: supported as I was by my gallant friend on my right [Major-general Pringle], by such corps as the 92d Highlanders, or the 50th British infantry, I should have been without excuse if a less firm stand had been made on the positions of the Pyrenees than was made; I should have done injustice to the design of our great captain, and to the instructions of my own immediate commander, if I had less exserted myself than I did on these occasions. That our endeavours have met with the approbation of our country, and have received from you, Sir, so generous an expression of that approbation, is the proudest event of our lives; it ought and will animate us to devote our best exertions in the future service of that country. Major-gen. William Henry Pringle then said: Mr. Speaker, I am highly sensible of the honour I have just received by the thanks of this House; I consider their approbation as the most honourable reward which a military man can receive, and one far beyond what any feeble efforts of mine can deserve. The bale arrangement of the general under whom I served and the bravery of the troops I had the honour to command, left little to be done by any exertions of mine, which I feel more than amply rewarded by the approbation of this House. The satisfaction I feel on this occasion is still further increased by the very flattering manner in which you have been pleased to communicate the thanks of the House to me. -- "Speeches in Communicating Thanks of the House of Commons to Military Commanders, 1807-1816" by Charles Abbot, 1829, pages 79-83: ORTHES AND BOURDEAUX 24 June 1814 Lieutenant-gneerals Sir Thomas Picton and Sir Henry Clinton, knights of the most honourable order of the Bath, being also come to the House, and Lieutenant-general Sir William Steward, and Major-general William Henry Pringle, being present, Mr. Speaker acquainted them that the House had, upon the 24th day of March last, resolved, that that the Thanks of this House be given to them for their able and distinguished conduct throughout the operations which concluded with the entire defeat of the enemy at Orthes on teh 27th of February last, and the occupation of Bourdeaux by the allied forces; and Mr. Speaker gave them the Thanks of the House accordingly, as followeth: Lieutenant-general Sir Thomas Picton, Lieutenant-general Sir William Stewart, Lieutenant-general Sir Henry Clinton, and Major-general Pringle: You stand amongst us this day to receive our thanks for gerat and signal victories won by British arms in the fields of France. Descending from the Pyrenees, surmounting, in adverse seasons, all the difficulties of a country deeply intersected, and passing with unparalleled skill and boldness the formidable torrents of Navarre, after a series of arduous and sanguinary conflicts, you came up with the collected forces of the enemy, posted upon the heights of Orthes. Attacked on all sides by British valour, the troops of France at length gave way, and commenced their retreat; pressed however upon each flank, that retreat was soon changed into a flight, and that flight to a total rout: pursuing their broken legions across the Adour, and seizing upon their strong holds and accumulated resources, you then laid open your way, on the one hand to the deliverance of Bourdeaux, and on the other to the lamented but glorious day of Toulouse. It has been your fortune to reap the latest laurels in this long and memorable war; and leading forward your victorious columns from the Tagus to the Garonne, you have witnessed, with arms in your hands, the downfall of that gigantic tyranny which your own prowess has so materially contributed to overthrow. Informed of these trumphant exploits, this House lost no time in recording its thanks to all who had bravely fought the battles of their country. But to those whom we glory to reckon amongst our own members, it is my duty and happiness to deliver those thanks personally. And I do now accordingly, in the name and by the command of the Commons of this United Kingdom, deliver to you their unanimous thanks for your able and distinguished conduct throughout all those operations which concluded with the entire defeat of the enemy at Orthes, and the occupation of Bourdeaux by the allied forces of Great Britain, Spain, and Portugal. Upon which Lieut.-general Sir Thomas Picton said: Mr. Speaker, I return my thanks to this honourable House for the honour conferred upon me. Lieut.-general Sir William Stewart then said: Mr. Speaker. I feel overcome by the repeated honour which you have now conferred on me, and can but ill express what I am sensible of on this occasion of high personal honour; I can only say, Sir, that myself, as well as those who were under my command, in the memorable actions alluded to by you, Sir, did our duty to the best of our power, and have now been greatly rewarded. The most happy events have returned us to our country; and that we may act the part of good citizens, as you have been pleased to say that we have done that of good soldiers, is our next duty. If future events call us again to the field, a circumstance that may Heaven long avert, our greatest good fortune will be to serve under the auspices of so generous a House of Commons as that which I now address; and more expecially to have the generous sentiment of that House communicated through so liberal a channel as has been the case this day. Lieutenant-general Sir Henry Clinton then said: Mr. Speaker, I am very grateful to the House for the honour which has been conferred upon me by their vote of thanks for my servies in the battle of Orthes. I feel proud to have been thought deserving of this high and distinguished reward; and I beg, Sir, that you will accept my best thanks for the obliging terms in which you have conveyed the vote of the House. Major-general William Henry Pringle then said: Mr. Speaker, I must again repeat the high sense I feel of the honour I have received, and must esteem this as the proudest day of my life, in which my conduct has twice me thte approbation of this House. | Pringle, William Henry (I00770)

He will attain his ninety-eighth birthday in June, and still keeps his mental and bodily health in a remarkable degree. Sir Henry is the third Baronet of an 1810 creation, and has himself enjoyed the honour for seventy-four years. The Vavasours are of Norman extraction, and Sir Henry's line is traced back to feudal times. --- "The Queen" 21 Dec 1912, page 22: Sir Henry Vavsour. He was ninety-eight and a half, having been born in June, 1814, and he had been a baronet for over seventy-four years. His early recollections were of extreme interest. He could remember the Eglington Tournament of 1839, which he attended as a young man of twenty-five, and the presence at it of Prince Louis Napoleon, afterwards the Emperor Napoleon III. He retained his health and mental powers up to the last; and in 1891 he married as his second wife Miss Alice Codrington, a sister of Sir Geral Codrington and a cousin of the Duke of Beaufort. The late Sir Henry's title is now extinct, but there have been two baronetcies in the Vavasour family. The members of both families are much respected, and a few years ago Sir William Vavasour was heard to declare that his branch of the house had paid twenty shillings in the pound for the past 900 years. At the time of Doomsday Book the Vavasours held land under the Percys at Hazlewood, in Yorkshire. | Vavasour, Henry Mervyn (I01572)

His fortune on the outset was about 1,500 pounds a year; and being a man of parts, a poet, and an agreeable companion, he ingratiated himself to the favour of Miss Craggs, only sister and heiress [sic] of Secretary Craggs, by whom he got a seat in Parliament, and above 100,000 pounds in money and estates. He afterwards married Lady Berkley, the relict of the late Earl of Berkley, by whom he likewise got a considerable fortune, and who brought him one daughter, the present Marchioness of Buckingham. Lady Berkely is still living, but had been in a state of separation for several years before his Lordship's death. His Lordship dying without any mail issue, his title and estates go to his son-in-law, the Marquis of Buckingham, the present Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. Of his political character, if we decut the few years that he was in the suite of Frederick Prince of Wales, it has been uniformly in favour of Administration. On the breaking up of Walpole's Ministry, he went over to the Pelhams; and since that time, till a few years before his death, he has been in several importrant offices, such as First Lord of Trade, one of the Vice Treasurers of Ireland, &c. &c. &c. In 1766, his Lordship, who was then but the Right Hon. Lord Nugent, was called up to the House of Peers in Ireland, by the title of Baron Nugent of Carlanston, in the county of Westmeath, and Viscount Clare, and, in 1776, created Earl Nugent, with remainder to his son-in-law, George Grenville, now Marquis of Buckingham. His estates in England and Ireland amounted to about 12,000 pounds per annum. --- "Manchester Mercury" 28 Oct 1788, page 1: On Wednesday Night died in Dublin, the Right Hon.

Wednesday morning about four o'clock, a fellow was discovered coming out of Lord Grantham's house, at Whitehall, going towards the water side; a waterman interrogated him what he had been doing there; the other having his party in view, threatened him with instant death if he obstructed him; he accordingly went to a boat, which instantly rowed off. A few hours after the family was in confusion; all the jewels, gold medals, rings, &c. as well as the wardrobe of his Lordship and Lady Grantham were missing: happily the thieves missed the plate, (or the loss must have been still more considerable) as it was all packed up in a private place ever since Saturday evening, when there was a feast, on the christening of his Lordship's third son. --- "Cambridge Chronicle and Journal" 15 Jan 1830, page 2 LADIES OF QUALITY DECEASED ---- At her residence in Whitehall-yard, the Dowager Lady Grantham. --- "Durham County Advertiser" 16 Jan 1830, page 3 In London, 7th inst., at Whitehall, aged 74, the Right Hon.

| 171 | --- "La France Protestante" Vol. 6,1856, page 465: Il eut de ce mariage Pierre, negociant a Orthez, qui s'unit, le 10 Avril 1708, a Sara de Peyrollet, fille de Jacques de Peyrollet, de La Bastide, refugie en Hollande apres la revocation, et de Sara de Casson, d'Oleron. Trois fils et plusieurs filles sontissus de ce mariage, savoir: Jacques, mort jeune a Orthes; Matthieu at Susanne, nes le 4er septembre 1724, dont nous parlerons plus bas; Pierre, ne a Orthez en 1726, negociant a Paris, puis a Nantes, qui se retira, en 1796, dans sa ville natale ou il mourut, le 12 Juin 1808. Une des filles de Pierre de Labouchere fut enlevee a ses parents et enfermee au couvent des Ursulines d'Orthez, ou elle prit le voile sous le nom de soeur Scholastique. La Revolution l'ayant chassee de cet asile, son neveu Pierre-Cesar pour-fut genereusement a son sort. Lorsque son frere Pierre se fut retire a Orthez, elle vecut aupres de lui jusqu a sa mort; puis elle reprit la vie religieuse et devint superieure de la communaute de Saint-Gerion a Hagetmau, ou elle mourut en 1824, a l'age de 96 ans. Matthieu fut envoye tres-jeune en Angleterre avec sa soeur jumelie Susanne. Apres avoir termine son education aupres du pasteur Magendie, a Londres, il se rendit a La Haye. Sa soeur qui l'y accompagna, epousa M. Yver. Matthieu se maria en premieres noces avec une demoiselle de Courcelles, et en secondes, avec Marie-Madeleine Moliere, fille de A-M Moliere et de Marie-Elizabeth Veron, deux famillies de refugies. Il mourut au commencement de 1796. De son premier mariage il ne liu naquet qu'un fils qui mourut jeune; du second provinrent deux filles, toutes deux nommees Henriette, mortes enfants, et quatre fils, Abel, ne en 1770 et mort a Amsterdam, en 1804; Pierre-Cesar, chef de la branche etablie en Angleterre; Antoine-Marie, souches de la branche francaise; et Samuel-Pierre, qui continua la descendance en Hollande. 1. Pierre-Cesar Labouchere naquit a La Haye, en 1772. En 1785, il fut envoye a Nantes aupres de son oncle Pierre, et travailla dans ses bureaux jusqu'en 1790, epoque au il entra comme commis de correspondance francaise dans la maison Hope d'Amsterdam. Quatre ans plus tard, a l'age de 22 ans, il fut associe a cette importante maison de commerce, en meme temps que M. Alexandre Baring, dont il epousa la soeur, Dorothee, en 1796. En 1799, M. Labouchere fit un voyage a la Martinique. L'annee suivante, il etait de retour en Angleterre, ou la maison Hope avait transporte le siege de ses affaires apres l'invasion de la Hollande par Pichegru. Cette maison ne fut retablie dans son ancien poste qu'en 1802. Nous ne pouvons entrer dans le detail des grandes operations financieres auxquelles M. Labouchere a pris pari. Qu'il nous suffise de dire qu'il portait dans les affaires des sentiments d'honneuret de probitequ'on pourrait appeler chevaleresques, tantils etaient au-dessus du commun. Nous ne citerons qu'un fait que nous donnerons en exemple. Les maisons Hope et Baring avaient soumissionne un emprunt fait par le gouvernement francais. Tout etait conclu, lorsque la reflexion vint, apres coup, au ministre des finances, qui s'apercut que l'arraire serait tresonereuse pour l'Etat. Un ami commun, temoin de sa perplexite, le rassura en lui disant: "Je connais M. Labouchere, c'est l'homme du monde le plus integre et le plus genereux, et j'ai la conviction qu'en lui exposant votre situation, vous obteindrez de lui et de son digne beaufrere l'annulation dy contrat." Cet ami l'avait bein juge. Que d'autres se seraient empresses de jeter les titres sur la place, pour profiter de ce bon coup! En 1810, M. Labouchere fut agree par l'Empereur pour une mission secrete en Angleterre. Il s'agissait de sonder le gouvernement anglais sur les conditions qu'il mettrait au retablissement de la paix en Europe. Les exigences de Napoleon ne furent pas admises, et la negociation dut en rester la. Mais le duc d'Otrante la reprit, a 'linsu de son matire. M. Labouchere, qui ne se doutait de rien, coninua son role de negociateur. Napoleon ayant decouvert cette intrigue, destitua son ministre, et manda a Paris M. Labouchere. M. Thiers rapporte au long les details de cette affaire, dans le 12 vol. de son Histoire du consulat et de l'empire. "Des amis, dit-il, lui [M. Labouchere] expedierent un courrier pour l'engager a rebrousser chemin, et ne pas venir se geter dans la gueule du lion; mais fort de sa conscience et de sa droiture, il poursuivit sa route jusques a Paris, et on reconnut bientut qu'il s'etait conduit avec discretion, convenance, sincerite; qu'il ne s'etait mele de ces ouvertures que parce qu'il avait cru obeir aux volontes du gouvernement; que meme par une sorte de reserve qui lui etait naturelle, il s'etait toujours tenu en deca de ce qu'on lui disait, et qu'il s'etait borne le plus souvent a transmettre les notes envoyees par M. Ouvrard [l'intermediaire de Fouche]." En 1821, apres une carriere honorablement remplie, M. Labouchere se retira des affaires, en nommant sen plus jeune frere, Samuel, son second fils et un de ses neveux Baring associes de la maison Hope. Il se fixa en Angleterre, ou il mourut, le 16 Janvier 1839, apres une courte maladie, dans une de ses terres pres de Chelmsford, dans le comte d'Essex. Il laissa deux fils. Le cadet, John, un des chefs de la maison de banque Williams, Deacon et Labouchere, "homme modeste, d'une grande piete, et d'une grande charite," a epouse une demoiselle Dupre, issue d'une famille de refugies en Angleterre; l'aine, Henry, est un des hommes d'Etat les plus eminents dont s'honore aujourd'hui l'Angleterre. Il fit ses etudes a l'ecole publique de Winchester, ou il se lia d'amitie avec le comte de Derby; il all ensuite a l'universite d'Oxford qu'il quitta avec les honneurs, with the honors. Il entra jeune dans la chambre des Communes, comme representant du bourg de Taunton. En 1833, il fut nomme un des lords de l'Amiraute; en 1837, membre du Conseil prive, directeur de la Monnaie, vice-President du Board of Trade; en 1839, sous-secretaire d'Etat des Colonies; en 1840, ministre du commerce; en 1847, premier secretaire d'Irlande, puis de nouveau ministre du commerce. En 1855, il a fait partie du jury international des Beaux-Arts de l'Exposition universelle, et il vient d'etre appele au ministere des colonies. Marie une premiere fois a une de ses cousines germaines, Fanny Baring, qui luidonna trois filles, il epousa, en secondes noces, Lady Mary Howard, soeur du vice-roi d'Irlande, le comte de Carlisle. II. Antoine-Marie, troisieme fils de Matthieu Labouchere, naquit a La Haye, le 14 avril 1775. Il fut eleve avec ses freres a Offenback, pres de Francfort-surle Main. Apres avoir fait son education commerciale a Copenhague, a Petersbourg et a Londres, il all fonder a Nantes une maison de commerce. Il ne dementitpas les traditions de la famille. Sa maison devint une des plus honorables de cette importante place. On loue la noblesse de son caractere et l'affabillite de ses manieres. Il ne s'absorbait pas tout entierdans les affaires. Il aimait avec passion l'histoire naturelle et avait un penchant pour les beaux-arts auquel il s'abandonnait volontiers. Il peignait et gravait a l'eau forte avec la perfection d'un artiste. Depuis 1814, il remplit les fonctions de consul des Pays-Bas jusqu'a sa mort, arrivee a Nantes, le 4 sept 1829. De son mariage, en 1804, avec Cathinka Meinche Knudtson, fille du principal armateur de Drontheim, naquirent cinq enfants: 1 Jean-Charles, ne le 25 avril 1805, qui succeda a son pere comme chef de la maison qu'il avait fondee, et qui, en 1833, alla s'atablier au Havre, commue associe dirigeant de la maison Hottinger du Havre. Il epousa, en 1835, Caroline Feray; --- 2 Henriette-Emilie, nee le 12 juillet 1806, mariee, en 1829, a Albert Insinger, et morte aux Eaux-Bonnes, le 14 sept 1831; --- 3 Pierre-Antoine, ne le 26 nov 1807, qui suit; --- 4 Louise-Hortense, nee en 1810, mariee en fevr 1832 a M. Auguste Dassier, banquier a Paris, President de la Compagnie du chemin de fer de Lyon a Paris; --- 5 Mathilde-Adelaide-Cathinka, nee le 7 mai 1815, mariee, en nov 1836, a M. ch. Royd Smith. M. Pierre-Antoine Labouchere fit ses etudes en Allemagne et en Angleterre. Place d'abord dans une maison de commerce a Anvers, il fit, en 1827, un voyage aux Etats-Unis, comme secretaire de M. Bates, chef de la maison Baring, et en 1832, il alla en Chine comme subrecargue d'un navire du port de Nantes appartenant a son frere. "Mais helas! plus il allait, plus il voyait, et moins il se sentait d'aptitude au negoce." La peinture avait toujours ete sa passion dominante, et le sejour qu'il avait fait a Anvers au milieu de tant de chefs-d'oeuvre de l'ecole flamande, n'avait servi qu'a la developper. Aussi, en 1836, renonca-t-il a la carriere commerciale, et apres un voyage d'un an en Italie, il revint a Paris continuer ses etudes sous la direction de son ami et maitre M. Paul Delaroche: "Profondement penetre de la foi de ses peres," M. Labouchere retrace de preference des scenes de l'histoire de la Reformation. On a de lui plusieurs grandes toiles: Luther, Malanchthon, Pomeranus et Cruziger traduisant la Bible, tableau qui appartenait au roi des Pays-Bas, Guillaume II, et qui a valu a l'auteur l'ordre du Lion Neerlandais; Calvin pRESIdant un colloque a Geneve; Luther a la diete de Worms, etc. On lui doit, en outre, une serie de sujets tires de la vie de Luther, qui ont ete graves, et pour lesquels M. Merle d'Aubigne a ecrit les textes. Le 23 mai 1839, M. Labouchere epousa Natalie Mallet. III. Samuel-Pierre, quatrieme fils de Matthieu Labouchere, naquit a La Haye, en 1778. Il fut pendant longtemps a la tete de la maison Labouchere de Rotterdam, et devint, en 1824, associe de la maison Hope d'Amsterdam, dont il esst actuellement le chef. De son mariage, en 1806, avec Sara-Maria-Theodora Jotting, qu'il perdit en 1855, naquirent quatre fils et trois filles: 1 Henri-Matthieu, ne en 1807, associe de la maison Hope, qui epousa, en 1840, Keyet van Lennep, fille du savant professeur de ce nom; -- 2 Pierre-Cesar, ne en 1808, qui spousa, en 1832, Eugenie de Lepel; -- 3 Francois-Antoine, ne en 1809, et mort en 1849, qui avait epouse, en 1838, Nancy Hudig; --- 4 Emilie, nee en 1811, mariee, en 1837, a Charles Martin, de Geneve; -- 5 Charles-Bernard, ne en 1812, qui epousa, en 1854, Henrette Woombergh; -- 6 Henriette, nee en 1815, mariee a M. Jean Van Eeghen, d'Amsterdam; -- 7 Adele, mariee, en 1856, a M. Theodore Van Heys. From this marriage he had Pierre, a trader at Orthez, who joined on April 10, 1708, Sara de Peyrollet, daughter of Jacques de Peyrollet, from La Bastide, who took refuge in Holland after the revocation, and Sara de Casson, d 'Oleron. Three sons and several daughters came out of this marriage, namely: Jacques, died young at Orthes; Matthieu at Susanne, born September 4, 1724, which we will discuss below; Pierre, born in Orthez in 1726, negotiating in Paris, then in Nantes, who retired, in 1796, to his hometown where he died, June 12, 1808. One of Pierre de Labouchere's daughters was kidnapped from her parents and confined at the Ursuline convent of Orthez, where she took the veil under the name of Sister Scholastique. The Revolution having chased him from this asylum, his nephew Pierre-Cesar was generously to his fate. When his brother Pierre had retired to Orthez, she lived with him until his death; then she resumed religious life and became superior of the community of Saint-Gerion in Hagetmau, where she died in 1824, at the age of 96 years. Matthieu was sent very young to England with his twin sister Susanne. After finishing his education with Pastor Magendie in London, he went to The Hague. His sister, who accompanied him, married Mr. Yver. Matthieu married for the first time to a young lady from Courcelles, and in seconds, to Marie-Madeleine Moliere, daughter of A-M Moliere and Marie-Elizabeth Veron, two families of refugees. He died at the beginning of 1796. From his first marriage he was born only to a son who died young; from the second came two daughters, both named Henriette, dead children, and four sons, Abel, born in 1770 and died in Amsterdam, in 1804; Pierre-Cesar, head of the branch established in England; Antoine-Marie, strains from the French branch; and Samuel-Pierre, who continued the descendants in Holland. 1. Pierre-Cesar Labouchere was born in The Hague in 1772. In 1785 he was sent to Nantes to his uncle Pierre, and worked in his offices until 1790, when he entered as a French correspondence clerk in the house Hope from Amsterdam. Four years later, at the age of 22, he was associated with this important trading house, at the same time as Mr. Alexandre Baring, whose sister, Dorothee, in 1796. In 1799, Mr. Labouchere made a trip to Martinique. The following year, he was back in England, where the Hope house had moved its business headquarters after Pichegru's invasion of Holland. This house was not restored to its former post until 1802. We cannot go into the details of the great financial operations in which M. Labouchere took part. Suffice it to say that he carried in affairs feelings of honor and probity which one could call chivalrous, so much were they above the common. We will cite only one fact which we will give as an example. Hope and Baring houses had submitted a loan made by the French government. Everything was concluded, when the reflection came, after the fact, to the Minister of Finance, who realized that the backwardness would be very burdensome for the State. A mutual friend, witness to his perplexity, reassured him by saying to him: "I know Mr. Labouchere, he is the most integrated and generous man in the world, and I am convinced that by exposing him to your situation, you will obtain from him and his worthy brother the cancellation of the contract. " This friend had been a good judge. How many others would have hastened to throw the titles on the square, to take advantage of this good move! In 1810, Mr. Labouchere was approved by the Emperor for a secret mission in England. It was a question of probing the English government on the conditions which it would put in the restoration of peace in Europe. Napoleon's demands were not accepted, and the negotiation had to remain there. But the Duke of Otranto took it back, unbeknownst to him. Mr. Labouchere, who suspected nothing, continued his role as a negotiator. Napoleon having discovered this intrigue, dismissed his minister, and sent M. Labouchere to Paris. Mr. Thiers reports on the details of this case in 12 vol. of his History of the Consulate and the Empire. "Friends, he said, sent him [Mr. Labouchere] a letter urging him to turn back, and not to come and bump into the lion's mouth; but strong of his conscience and his righteousness, he continued his en route to Paris, and it was soon recognized that he had behaved with discretion, convenience, sincerity; that he had only been involved in these overtures because he believed he was obeying the will of the government; that even by a kind of reserve which was natural to him, he had always kept short of what he was told, and that he had confined himself most often to transmitting the notes sent by Mr. Ouvrard [the intermediary of Fouche]. " In 1821, after an honorably full career, Mr. Labouchere retired from business, appointing his youngest brother, Samuel, his second son and one of his Baring nephews, associates of the Hope family. He settled in England, where he died on January 16, 1839, after a short illness, in one of his lands near Chelmsford, in the Earl of Essex. He left two sons. The youngest, John, one of the heads of the Williams bank house, Deacon and Labouchere, "a modest man, of great piety, and of great charity," married a young lady Dupre, from a family of refugees. in England; the eldest, Henry, is one of the most eminent statesmen of England today. He studied at the public school in Winchester, where he became friends with the Earl of Derby; he then went to the university of Oxford which he left with honors, with the honors. He entered the House of Commons at a young age, as a representative of the town of Taunton. In 1833 he was named one of the lords of the Admiralty; in 1837, member of the Private Council, director of the Mint, vice-President of the Board of Trade; in 1839, Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies; in 1840, Minister of Commerce; in 1847, first secretary of Ireland, then new Minister of Commerce. In 1855, he was a member of the international jury of Fine Arts at the Universal Exhibition, and he has just been called to the colonial ministry. Married for the first time to one of his first cousins, Fanny Baring, who had three daughters, he married, in second marriage, Lady Mary Howard, sister of the viceroy of Ireland, the Earl of Carlisle. II. Antoine-Marie, third son of Matthieu Labouchere, was born in The Hague on April 14, 1775. He was raised with his brothers at Offenback, near Frankfurt am Main. After having made his commercial education in Copenhagen, in Petersburg and in London, he went to found in Nantes a trading house. He does not deny the traditions of the family. His house became one of the most honorable of this important place. We praise the nobility of his character and the affability of his manners. He was not completely absorbed in business. He loved natural history with passion and had a penchant for the fine arts which he willingly gave up on. He painted and engraved in etching with the perfection of an artist. Since 1814, he served as Netherlands consul until his death, arriving in Nantes on September 4, 1829. From his marriage in 1804 to Cathinka Meinche Knudtson, daughter of the main shipowner from Drontheim, five children were born: 1 Jean-Charles, born April 25, 1805, who succeeded his father as head of the house he had founded, and who, in 1833, went to settle in Le Havre, as an associate manager of the Hottinger house in Le Havre. In 1835 he married Caroline Feray; --- 2 Henriette-Emilie, born July 12, 1806, married in 1829 to Albert Insinger, and died in Eaux-Bonnes, September 14, 1831; --- 3 Pierre-Antoine, born Nov 26, 1807, which follows; --- 4 Louise-Hortense, born in 1810, married in February 1832 to Mr. Auguste Dassier, banker in Paris, President of the Railway Company from Lyon to Paris; --- 5 Mathilde-Adelaide-Cathinka, born May 7, 1815, married, in Nov 1836, to M. ch. Royd Smith. Mr. Pierre-Antoine Labouchere studied in Germany and England. First placed in a trading house in Antwerp, he made, in 1827, a trip to the United States, as secretary to Mr. Bates, head of the Baring house, and in 1832, he went to China as subrecargue of a ship from the port of Nantes belonging to his brother. "But alas! The more he went, the more he saw, and the less he felt capable of trading." Painting had always been his dominant passion, and the stay he had made in Antwerp amidst so many masterpieces of the Flemish school, had only served to develop it.

Lady Eliot had been failing in health for some time, but the end, which took place at Port Eliot, was sudden. Of her "all that is known to us is the tenderness with which her husband described, as 'a loss never before equalled,' what had befallen him by her death; and that she was said to have been so devoted to her children as never to have willingly consented to be absent from them . . .

Lady Eliot Body and train of purple sarsnet, trimmed with silver, &c. white crape petticoat richly spangled; a drapery of silver gauze, elegantly fastened up in festoons with chains of large silver cord, and very handsome bunches of corn flowers. This dress had an elegant appearance. --- "Royal Cornwall Gazette" 26 Oct 1805, page 3: The venerable aisles of the Cathedral Church of St. Germans, echoed on Sunday last to strains of harmony, at once solemn and sublime; such as might be said to . . . take th' imprison'd soul, And lap it in Elysium! The Choristers of the parish of Stoke attended, amounting to sixty vocal and ten instrumental performers. They sung several fine anthems in a masterly manner; and were so unfashionable as to give the good old 100th psalm (one of the finest pieces of music extant) in a strain so grand and impressive, as thrill'd to the heart of every one that heard it. Lord and Lady Eliot were present, and remained in the Church a considerable time after divine service had ended; where, surrounded by the honored tombs of their ancestors, we venture to affirm, they enjoyed a pleasure more hallowed and refined, than all the circles of fashion and vitiated taste are capable of giving. --- "British Press" 06 Jun 1808, page 2: His Majesty's Birth Day Our beloved Monarch's birthday is always hailed as a joyful event, and celebrated by all ranks and degrees of persons throughout the country, but particularly in the vast metropolis, which is the seat of Royalty, and where the Nobility, Gentry and other personages of distinction, are assembled from all parts of England, Scotland, and Ireland, at this time of the year, but in particularl for this day. In fact, the King's birthday is considered the close of the London season, as the metropolis begins to lose its fashionable company, who then retire to their country seats. There were present [at the Drawing Room], besides Her Majesty . . .

Lord Eliot, Francis Glanville, esq. and the Rev. Thomas Penwarne, with their usual liberality, joined also by suscriptions from the parishioners at large, distributed three capital oxen, part of a fat heifer, and bread to 313 poor families of the town and parish, consisting of about 1100 persons. The St. German's troop of Yeomanry Cavalry met in honour of the day; and after the usual evolutions, and firing ten rounds in excellent style, adjourned to the Eliot Arms, and spent the evening with the greatest conviviality. -- Bonfires, &c.

We breakfast at 10 and sit till 12 . . .' Indeed little seems to have been done between meals. Lady St Germans continued the description of her day: 'From half past two till four is spent dressing. From four till past six at dinner. Then coffee, afterwards working, looking at prints, talking till ten, when I got to bed and supper is announced. Before breakfast everyone goes to the library, which is a noble apartment, [but] I always take a walk in the garden.' --- "Morning Chronicle" 7 Jun 1813, page 3 FASHIONABLE PARTIES.
