DEATH OF THE RIGHT HON.
SIR JOHN BECKETT, BART.
We have to announce the demise of the Right Hon.
Sir John Beckett, Bart., who expired at six A. 151 on
Monday, at Brighton, the Right Hon. Baronet having re-
paired to that watering plase with the view of regaining
his health. The highly-respected deceased had been ill
for the last month, but no serious apprehensions were
entertained ti4l'at dose of the past week, when it be-
came apparitro his metlicei attonda.uts that he was
sinking rapidj,. Lady Anne Beckett has been in con-
stant attendance on Sir John, at Brighton, throughout
his illness. • `The deceased Baronet was eldest son of Sir
John Beckett, by the daughter of Dr. Wilson, Bishop of
Bristol, and was in his 71st year, having been born in
1776. He married in January, 1817, Lady Anne Low-
ther, third daughter of the late and sister of the present
Earl of Lonsdale. Sir John attained distinguished
honours at Trinity College, Cambridge, having been fifth
wrangler in 17.95. He entered the House of Commons,
as member for Cockermouth in 1820, and sat for Haste-
mere in 1826, 1830, and 1831. In 1832 he unsuccessfully
contested East Retford, and in 1334, on the vacancy
caused by Mr. T. B. Macaulay's appointment in India,
he had a severe contest for Leeds with Mr. Baines—Sir
John polling 1,917 votes, and Mr. Baines 1,951. At the
general election in the following year he was returned
for that populous borough at the head of the poll. The
deceased baronet was judge marshal and advocate-
general during the Duke of Wellington's Administration
from 1828 to 1830, and during the short period of office
of Sir Robert Peel, in 1834, he again filled the same
appointment. Sir John was a zealous and consistent
Conservative, and when in the House of Commons voted
against the Reform Bill, the Municipal Corporations
Bill, and the Irish Tithe measure. He was appointed a
Privy Councillor in July, 1817, and was a fellow of the
Royal Society. In the ab-ence of male issue by his mar-
riage, the baronetcy devolves on his brother, Mr. Thos.
Beckett, the eminent banker of Leeds. Mr. W. D.
Beckett, brother of the deceased, and Lady W.
Powlett returned to town on Saturday, from visiting the
lamented deceased and Lady Anne at Brighton.
