DEA.TH OF J. TALBOT, ESQ,, Q.C.—On the re-as-
sembling of the Metropolitan Water Bills Committee this
morning, Mr. Beckett, chairman, Mr. Sergeant Wrangham
said it was his painful task to have to communicate to the Corn-
mitten the melancholy event of the death of his learned and
distinguished friend, Mr. a a,
:a'unt, who had breathed his last
on the previous night at Brighton. (Here the Learned
painfully Counsel became so
sume his seat, and for some minutes himself and
some twenty members of the bar present were
observed to shed tears.) ' The Chairman said that the Com-
mittee deeply sympathised With the Learned Counsel, and, to
save him further pain,
by adjourning the proceedings to the next day. The com-
mittee accordingly adjourned. It is feared that the disease
of the heart, of which it is said Mr. Talbot died, was mate-
rially accelerated by professional over-exertion. About
twenty aristocratic families will be thrown into mourning by
