Charles Snowden Fairfax died in Baltimore, 0:0
Sunday, April 4, aged 40. He was descended fromtof
last Lord Fairfax, and might have claimed the positi°,llortc
tenth Lord of that name. Ho served five years as 'ter
of the Supreme Court of California. The following le"f
appeared in the Times last Wednesday, from the editor al,
"Debrett's Peerage :"—" Sir,—The death of CbaSi
Snowden Fairfax, recently announced as having °court°.
at Baltimore on the 4th of this month, deserves more the;
a passing notice. He was tenth Lord Fairfax in the Pew
age of Scoland, and was a lineal descendant of the et) g
brated Parliam latarian Generals Ferdinando and Thenlin
Fairfax. The latter, it may be remembered, returned
Royalism, and helped to establish Charles 11. ou v
throne. The fifth Lord Fairfax married Catherine o°le
pepper, who brought him as a dowry immense estates t 4
England and America, the latter situated between the -r n
tomac and Rappahannock. Their son Thomas (the Siet
lord) having visited his American property, was se a
chanted with it that he resolved to live and die there,
.r
having transferred his English property to his brotko,
afterwards the seventh lord, built himself two resideacep
which he entitled respectively Greenway Court and 0'
voir, resided principally at the former, where be el 7
~ haopen house with true baronial hospitality, and uilo
a bachelor at a green old age. His brother, WO/
succeeded him, died without issue. Its 1800 the Soused
Lords decided that the Rev. Bryan Fairfax, a kinslll3°, 0
the late lord's, was entitled to the barony, and the 1,

Lord Fairfax was his great grandson. An anecdote of
late lord, which I can vouch as being authentic, is so Ple/itey
ing to our common humanity, and shows so promiee/3
eif
the innate goodness of the late lord, who, deeming f
wounded unto the death by an assassin, yet for the e'l';)
his wife and child spared him, that I trust you will tiVol
me to extract it from my 'Peerage':—' In the sprint,
1859 Lord Fairfax was walking home, pcompanied ho,
$c
the Chief Justice of California and two other frier'
when he was met by a reporter of the Court named (100,
Leo. Lee, having thought Lord Fairfax had in 503°W,,
e
tried to injure him, accused him of so doing, a Chas
which his lordship denied. To this denial Lee rejoin:oo
an insolent and offensive manner, substantially givin'io;
lie, evidently desiring that Lord Fairfax should strike h
he effected his object, his lordship striking him on the phrid
Leo, in return, struck at him with a light cane, viitAll
which was concealed a long dagger. Lord Fairfax eilllllo
the cane in his left hand; Lee sprang back, dronible
dagger quickly from the cane, and inflicted two 0.1.'00
wounds, one through the left breast, and the other lend
side. Lord Fairfax had drawn a 'Derringer' pistAtbircl
presented it, cocked, in time to prevent Lee making a d 00
thrust. In a moment Lee threw up his arms and orie
'Don't kill me, I am unarmed !' (All this occurred iatliise
credibly short space of time, before any one 1181), bee;
to interfere, or even realize that a deadly assault 1103;.0(111,
made). Standing perfectly still, Lord Fairfax (a el?' ice '
shot), who had him covered at not more than
srg
distant, and could have killed hitn beyond any P°sl,
doubt, thus replied, ' You miserable coward, You halt°
murdered me—you have assassinated me—and I Seta
your worthless life in my hands; but for the sake e 1
wife and child I shall spare you.' Cries, at thie4bito.
raised from the crowd of ' Shoot him, Fairfax." 1011.0,
Don't spare him.' and the like. Standing erect, 10 Lord
Lee full in the face, and holding the pistol as before, od,
Fairfax answered, No, I won't kill him;' and thee'olol
dressing Lee, said, 'Recollect, I have your life in niY Pniloar°,
and I spare ft ; not on your worthless account, for atte
an assassin and a coward, but, because of your vv" `'
nOg
child.' "-- I am, sir, your obedient servant, Tim EDIT„os.
