nephew, the Right Hon. Charles John Howard,
Earl of Suffolk and Berkshire; James Houghton
Langston, Esq., of Saraden-house, Oxford; and
Charles F. Bailey, Esq., of Stratfoi d-place. Lord
Sherborne was possessed of considerable landed pro-
perty, principally in Hampshire, Gloucestershire,
and Cheshire, and succeeded to the title and estates,
on the demise of his father, in 1820. His lordship
attained to the great age of 83, and leaves a large
family by his first wife, the daughter of Lord Sto-
well. The will bears date March, 1861, and by re-
ferring to deeds executed in 1826 and 1848 the
testator has made them part of the will, which—
with a codicil dated July, 1862—comprises 468
folios. His lordship by these deeds has settled his
estates chiefly upon his eldest son, the present baron,
provision being made for his other children, as well
as for his relict. There is a legacy of £5,000 to his
daughter, the Dowager Countess of Ducie; a like
sum of £5,000 to his son-in-law, Lord Dunsany ;
and legacies of £5,000 to two daughters of the pre-
sent Lord Sherborne. Liberal legacies are also left
to his servants—Xl,ooo to his butler, £3OO to this
farm bailiff, and annuities to his cook, housemaid,
nurse, late gamekeeper, and other domestics.

cutors appointed being Wm. Fredk. Higgins, Esq.,

had been attached to that regiment throughout the
whole of his military career, in which he had served
with distinction and reward in Canada and India,
and died at the early age of 48. His name will ever be
associated with Lawrence, at the successful defence
of the residency of Lucknow. The general's will is
entirely in his own handwriting, and was executed
in 1851, he then holding the rank of " Major and
Brevet Lieut.-Colonel of the 32d Regiment," which
designation he appended to his signature, witnessed
by " Frederic Thesiger and Grace Martin." The
will is very brief, and disposes of all investments,
upon the decease of Lady Inglis, amongst their

the late Bishop of Nova Scotia, and grandson of the
first bishop of that colony. His relict, Lady Inglis,
is the daughter of Lord Chelmsford, recently Lord
