Heneage Lawrence Dundas, and Aiskew Paffard Hollis; with whom, successively, he continued to serve, latterly as Lieutenant (commission dated 21 March, 1812) until Jan. 1814. During that period he fought, as Midshipman, at the battle of Trafalgar, 21 Oct. 1805; was with a squadron under Sir Sam. Hood at the capture of four French frigates off Rochefort, 25 Sept. 1806; commanded the second boat that effected a landing on the island of Walcheren during the hostile operations of 1809; and, for upwards of eight months, in 1810-11, was day and night employed with the flotilla at the defence of Cadiz. He also took part in a variety of other hazardous services; and being intrusted, in 1813, at a period when the plague was raging at Malta, with the charge of the shore duty on that island, contracted a disease which nearly terminated his existence. Lieut. Gill’s subsequent appointments were – 3 May, 1814, as Senior, to the Goldfinch 10, Capt. Edm. Waller, in the Channel – 7 Oct. 1815, to the Rochfort 80, Capt. Sir Arch.

Second son of Rev. John Blackmore, of Ashford, near Barnstaple, Devon. He was born at Longworth, Berks, on 7 June, 1825, and educated at Oxford, where he matriculated in 1843, and graduated 1847. Though called ​to the Bar 7 June, 1853, he never practised, hut fell hack on educational work, which he had previously pursued, and became classical master in a school at Twickenham. Here his first attempts at authorship occurred in the form of poems. Having succeeded to some property, he settled at Teddington, where he combined literature with market gardening. In 1864 appeared his first novel Clara Vaughan, published anonymously, and then Cradock Nowell; but it was not till the appearance of Lorna Doone, in 1869, that he achieved success with the public. That, however, was a great triumph, and was followed by The Maid of Sker, Cripps the Carrier, and a large number of other works of fiction which have rendered the author's name famous. Mr. Blackmore died at Teddington 20 Jan. 1900.

Admitted 20 June, 1579.
Son of Lord Mountjoy, sixth Lord. He was admitted from Clifford's Inn.

In 1586 he was knighted, and in 1588 took part against the Spanish Armada. In 1594 he was appointed Governor of Portsmouth, and in the same year succeeded his brother as eighth Lord Mountjoy. He served under the Earl of Essex in the Low Countries, and subsequently in the Azores, and Ireland, and on his ​leader's disgrace became Lord-Lieutenant in that country. He ruled the country with success, and was made K.G. in 1597, and Earl of Devon in 1604. Two years later he contracted a marriage with the divorced wife of Robert, Lord Rich, the Stella of Sidney's Sonnets, contrary to the canon law, which attended the King and Queen, and led to mortifications which embittered and shortened his life. He died of a fever 3 April, 1606, having lived, it was said, "too long for his credit." His arms are in the Middle Temple Hall. His death is celebrated by John Ford (q.v.) in a poem entitled Fame's Memorial.
