DEATH OF AN OLD M.P.

The death is announced of Mr. Henry Binghain
Baring at Nice. Mr. Baring sat for Callington
in the Parliament of 1831. In 1832 he
was elected for Marlborough, and continued
to represent that borough until the dissolu-
tion of 1868, a period of thirty-six years.
Under the late Reform Bill, Marlborough lost one
of its members, and this was reserved by the Marquis
of Ailesbury, the lord paramount, for his own family,
Mr. Baring did not offer himself for any
other constituency, and was, therefore, not in Parlia-
ment at the time of his death. He was a Liberal-
Conservative, and a Lord of the Treasury in Sir
Robert Peers Administration. His first wife was
the sister of the late Earl of Cardigan, and through
her he was connected with the Marquis of Ailesbury.
Mr. Baring was born in 1804.
