WWII* him of the death of Lord Macaelay, which
seenrred on the previous evening. Mr. Ellis, who wee
a warn friend of the deceased noble lord, is left one
of his Lordship's executors. Referring to the deemed
pea, the Leeds Mercury says :—" For many years page
Lord Massalay's health had not been good, but in 1862
he had a serious illness consequent on dames of the
heart, the simulation being extremely languid, though
there was at that time no organic mischief. The at.
task was subdued, and his lordship's health continued

to be tolerably good up to a fortnight ago, when he had I
second attack, from which, however, he rallied to such
an extent that his medical men ceased to apprehend
!=. He continued to improve, and when the Re-
; UM him on Friday week he looked much as
usual. A relapse seems to have subsequently taken
place, and his lordship expired suddenly, as we have
said, on Thursday evening. Lord Macaulay was
never married, and the title he had so well won conse-
quently dies with him."
