DEATH OF MR. THOMAS SLINGSBY
D UNCOMBE,

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before Vice• Chancellor Wood.)
JUDGMENT-HOPE V. FOX.

Mr. Thomas Siingsby Duncombe, M.P. for the
borough of Finsbury, whose death we record this
day, Iro followed his old antagonist, Sir James
Graham, to the tomb within a few days. Although
Mr. Duncombe had been in failing health for some
time, the melancholy event was not anticipated, and
it will take the public by surprise. He was a
man who had for 30 years occupied a conspicuous
place in the public attention, partly from the fre-
quency and smartness of address, partly from the
piquancy of the assertion of the most wild and extra-
vagant Liberal dogmas by an aristocrat pur sang.
That an enormous constituency like that of Fins-
bury—one, too, which is proverbially fickle—
should, while cashiering a Challis and a Cox, men of
their own kidney, stick fast to Mr. Duncombe, who,
except in name, could have no thought in common
with the electors, is creditable to the generosity, if
not to the discernment of that body. "Tommy"
had been for years a chartered libertine, and so
great was his popularity that, in spite of his negli-
gence, hauteur, and other eccentricities, it was
hopeless to expect to turn him out, even if any oue
had been venturesome enough to make the attempt.
Thomas SlingsbyDuncombe, though theoretically
democratic and patriotic, was by birth, manners, and
social position one of the " upper ten thousand," and
wo betide the Finsbury shopkeeper who presumed
to accost him in the familiar style of equality and
fraternity—except on the hustings. He was the
son of Mr. Thomas Duncombe, of Copgrove, near
Boroughbridge, Yorkshire, by Emma, daughter of
the Right Rev. Dr. Hinchcliffe, Bishop of Peter-
borough, and, no doubt, his episcopal connections
produced in him that ardour in the cause of religion
which was only equalled by the purity of his demo-
cratic zeal. The Dunconabes originally came from
Buckinghamshire, and one of the family, still eli-
gibly located in the neighbourhood of Mr. Benjamin
Disraeli, was created a baronet when the right hon.
successor of Hampden was leader of the great Con-
servative party in 1858-9. A younger son of Mr.
Wm. Duncombe, of Ivinghoe, came to London in
the 17th century, and his son, a Sir Charles Dun-
combe, was Lord Mayor of London in 1708. Sir
Charles's sister, a Mrs, Brown, who inherited his
fortune and called herself Duncombe, had issue by
her highly respectable husband a daughter who
became Duchess of Argyll and Greenwich, and a
son, who bought an estate in Yorkshire, and mar-
ried a daughter of Sir Thos. Slingsby, of Scriven.
The father of Mr. Thos. Duncombe, of Copgrove
(father of the j ust deceased M.P.), derived his estate
from his brother, who, though married three times

The plaintiff, Mrs. Hope, filed her bill to set aside a
deed of appointment executed by her in favonr of her son
and a mortgagee of the whole of her property, on the ground
of undue pressure of her husband, and fraudulent misre-
presentation of her son that the deed she was then execut-
ing was only for the appointment of a new trustee, and
thereby concealing the fact that it was a deed disposing of
her general interest in her real estate under her marriage
settlements.

His Honour the Vice-Chancellor, on considering the
evidence produced on both sides, came to the conclusion
that the plaintiff had not proved either fraud or misrepre-
sentation in the execution of the deed of appointment in
question, and therefore dismissed the plaintiff's bill against
the husband, with costs ; also costs of the next friend up to
the lime of the amendment of the bill, when the husband
was made a defendant. The costs to be paid by the hus-
band to be substituted for the costs to be paid by the other
parties.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—( This Day).

MAR LBOROUGH-STREET.

A GENTLEMAN CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING A CABMAN.
—Mr. Henry Bathe, gentleman, of 5, King-street, St.
James's, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting
Thomas Handon, cabman, of 16, Drummond-crescent.

Thomas Handon, badge 10,357, said last night, at half-
past nine, I took up the defendant and another gentle-
man and a lady in the Haymarket, and took them to King-
street. On setting them down defendant gave me half-a-
crown. I gave the other gentleman Is., upon which he
caught hold of my throat, and the defendant came out of
the house and struck me some violent blows on the face,
covering it with blood. The defendant was not the worse
for liquor, and I had given him no provocation.
Defendant—l went into the house, and seeing my friend
struggling with the cabman, I struck him. I had paid the
man more than his fare, and do not know how they got
quarrelling together.

Mr. John Swaino Hogge stepped into the witness box.
Clerk—Where do you reside ?
Mr. Rogge—l don't reside anywhere.
Clerk—You must live somewhere ?
Mr. Hogge—Well, I live in King-street, but am going
abroad.
Clerk—What are you?

Mr. Hogge—l am in the service. lam an officer in the
army. Defendant gave the oabman half-a-crown and
walked into the house. I said, "You ruffian, you have
charged half-a-crown." The cabman then said he had no
change, and I then took him by the throat.
Defendant—The man said his fare was half-a-crown.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—That was pretty fair from the Haymarket
to King-street.

Mr. Hogge—l said to the defendant, " Polish him (the
cabman) off," and the defendant did polish him off.
(Laughter.)

Mr. Tyrwhitt—That is certainly illegal, and it is not the
way to treat a cabman or any one else. You should have
brought the complainant here by a summons. I think
some small compensation to the cabman will suffice.

The parties then left the court and shortly after retired,
when the cabman said the defendant had offered him half-
a-crown, and he declined taking it.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—As there was clearly some imposition on
the part of the cabman, I shall fine you ono shilling.

711 E LATE KING 01 PORTUGAL.

(From the Men of the Time.)

Pedro V., King of Portugal, was born Sept. 16, 1837.
He is the son of Prince Ferdinand of Saxe Coburg Gotha,
by the late Queen Maria da Gloria, who, as heiress of the
royal house of Braganza, reigned for 26 troubled years over
the realm won by her remote ancestor, when Cross and
Crescent, Christian and Moor, were struggling for supre-
macy on the fields of Spain. The royal boy, on succeeding
to the crown, had scarcely attained his 16th year, and the
virtual sway iemained with his father as Regent. The boy
King, however, had been carefully educated, and, with a
fortunate appreciation of the advantages of foreign travel,
he left his native shores in the summer of 1854, and paid a
visit to England, between which and his own country the
relations have for centuries been of a peculiarly intimate
character. In the summer of 1855 the King of Portugal,
m ailing himself of his nonage to see something more of
the world, visited the Emperor of the French, and was
magnificently entertained at the Court of the Tuileries.
e then, after a visit to It, me, proceeded to Sardinia,
where all due honour was paid him ; and thence to
Naples, whore he was received with such distinguished
marks of respect as to lead to the belief that he was in search
of a Sicilian bride. He subsequently landed a second time
on the shores of England, and on returning to Portugal
was formally inaugurated as its Sovereign. He has since
given indications, not to be mistaken, of a resolution to do
his duty to the people over whom he reigned. A letter from
Lisbon states that the King, soon after his inauguration,
called for a list of all the prisoners in the realm, but re-
ceived only a statement of such names as the authorities
deemed deserving of notice. Hereupon the King returned
the paper and demanded a complete list, stating that he
considered himself the best judge of such criminals as were
worthy of his notice, and did not wish to overlook the
meanest of them. Another rumour is, that the adminis-
trator of a petty district having died, his son, a young man
of 25, petitioned the King, and was promised the place, His
Majesty, however, mentioning the matter to the authorities,
was told that the new administrator was too young. and
that there was a fitter man for his post. " How so ?" the
King is said to have replied, " I am much younger, and
yet am thought capable of governing Portugal. Let
the appointment be confirmed." There is yet another
of these anecdotes. It is stated that during the late
regency the business of the cabinet was sometimes trans-
acted with the accompaniment of cigars, the regent
himself occasionally smoking. When the indecorous cus-
tom was observed for the first time before Don Pedro,
apologetic explanations were made to him. The King is
reported to have given no reply, but merely to have turned
his back, and afterwards to have issued orders that the
practice should be prohibited. It is evident that the
King acts advisedly; he conciliates the alley, and in pub-
lic always appear in uniform. He has surrounded himself
by men of years and sagacity; for example, General Lou-
reiro Da Costa, the Marquises de Ficalhos and Bemposti,
and oth• rs of a similar character. He never signs a paper
until he has read and understood its purport, and hopes
are entertained that he will gradually remove that mass of
corruption which clings so close around the heart of Portu-
gal, and pervades every branch of the administration.

THE GREAT EASTERN.—There appears to be some
doubt as to the Great Eastern coming to Liverpool again,
for at tho meeting of the Mersey Dock Board yesterday,
the marine committee recommended that the moorings laid
down for her in the Sloyne should be taken up, as they ob-
structed the navigation of the river. Mr. Thomas Bold
said that the Great Eastern directors had themselves re-
solved to take up the moorings.

—first, a daughter of the fourth Earl of Carlisle—
left no issue.

Mr. Thomas Buncombe was born in 1797. Where
he was educated is uncertain, nor is it material in
estimating the political status of the man, but it is
known that he served for some time as an officer in

the 4th Dragoons, which regiment he quitted with
the rank of lieutenant shortly after the close of the
war. He entered the House of Commons first in

1826, as member for the borough of Hertford in the
unreformed Parliament; and having been lucky
enough to gain the confidence of his constituents,
was re-elected in 1830, and again in 1831. In 1832,
on the passing of the Reform Bill—to the success
of which he had powerfully contributed by his
animated and vigorous addresses, both within and
without the walls of the House—he was turned out
with his Liberal colleague, Lord Mahon (Earl Stan-
hope) and Lord Ingestre (Earl of Shrewsbury and
Talbot) being the successful candidates. Although
the Conservative members were unseated on peti-
tion for bribery and treating, Mr. Duncombe did
not stand again. He remained out of Parliament
for two years. Lord John Russell, by his Reform
Act, brought into being the metropolitan borough
of Finsbury—a borough containing 350,000 inhabit-
ants, and about 20,000 registered electors. The first
members after the passing of the Reform Bill were
a Liberal, the Right Hon. Sir Robert Grant, and
(strange to say) a Conservative, in the person of Mr.
Sergeant Spankie. In the course of the summer of
1834, Sir Robert Grant accepted the Governorship
of Bombay, and Mr. Duncombe stood—of course in
the ultra-Whig interest—against three other can-
didates, of whom Mr. Thomas Wakley, his future
colleague, was one, and won the election by at
least 600 votes. In spite of all his political aberra-
tions, his personal eccentricities, his absence from
the House, his simulated patriotism, " Tommy Dun-
combo" has been reelected ever since—often under
protest, but still re-elected—in Dec. 1834, July 1837,
June 1841, July 1847, June 1852, March 1857, and
April 1859. Mr. Wakley, coroner for Middlesex,
was the congenial colleague of the hon. gentleman
from 1835 to 1852 ; 11r. Challis, a respectable
alderman in the fleshing trade, from 1852 to 1857 ;
and the memorable William Cox from 1857 to 1859.
Sir S. M. Peto has done the constituency the honour
of redeeming it in a measure from the disgrace
which had indirectly the effect of preventing the
creation of another metropolitan borough in 1860.
Mr. Thomas Dunconibe's political views were
broad and unmistakable. Nothing on earth is so
easily or so cheaply accomplished as a reputation
for going the " whole hog." He was a strenuous
supporter of triennial Parliaments, secular educa-
tion, the ballot, separation of Church and State,
and the rest of the " entire animal" platform—that
is, he was loud in the advooacy of these measures as
long as he knew they could not possibly be passed ;
for, to take the first on the list, triennial Parlia-
ments would have been very inconvenient and dis-
agreeable to a gentleman of his habits. He rarely
spoke when member for Hertford, but steadily voted

for all liberal measures—Roman Catholic emanci-
pation, reform, parliamentary and municipal; but
the exigencies of a metropolitan constituency com-
pelled the hon. gentleman to speak—as metropolitan
members do speak—with frequency, if not effect.
His specialize has been church rates—his studies
and education having chiefly lain in an ecclesiasti-
cal direction—which he has vehemently opposed
ever since the year 1834, when he presented a peti-
tion against them. He also proposed, and we be-
lieve carried, a resolution forbidding the interfer-
ence of peers in elections as " unconstitutional."
His most important achievement, however, was
his vehement opposition to Sir James Graham,
for his causing the opening of Mazzini's
letters during their passage through the Post-office,
through which manipulation the Bandiera brothers

were executed by Austria. Mr. Duncombe was the
popular hero of the day. He denounced Sir James,
then Home Secretary, in the House and out of it,
day after day ; and though Lord Brougham in the
House of Lords at once exposed the fallacy of the

Earl of Radnor's arguments directed against Sir
James, by showing that the power of opening
letters had been notoriously the prerogative and
duty of the Secretaries of State since the days of
Charles James Fox, Lord Radnor's chief, who had
exercised the right in common, the matter formed a
stock subject of debate for a long time, and " out of
doors," in discussion houses, in bar-parlours, and
other places where intellectual politicians congre-
gate, Mr. Duncombe's conduct was warmly ap-
proved. It is impossible to particularise all the
debates in which " Tommy Duncombe" took a noisy

own ; and in late years many
symptoms of the
wonted fires were visible in the emaciated but still
fashionable-looking " relic of the past" as often the
agents of the Anti-State Church Association scented
out an opportunity of damaging the Church, or the
Balloteers were hard pressed for a smart speech in
their favour.
Mr. Duncombe's personal characteristics have
been probably the cause of his popularity, which
otherwise would be utterly unintelligible, for he
never proposed any practical measure, never car-
ried any item in the little bill of the ultra-
Radicals. He was a fop and a dandy of the first
water ; his style of dress was in perfect taste, his
manners pleasant and genial, his person—even to
the last, in spite of the ravages of time—handsome.
Radical as he was in his youth, he was always a
welcome guest at aristocratic tables, and mixed in
the highest society ; and if of late years he hao
gradually withdrawn from society, the cause is not
to be sought for in his waning popularity, but in
circumstances totally different. His latest political
kappear4nce hag been in connection 'With the

THE VACANCY FOR EAST WORCESTERSHIRE.-
It is rumoured that Mr. Vernon, of Hanbury Hall, who
nominated the deceased Mr. Foley, M.P., at the last elec-
tion, will offer himself in the Liberal interest for East Wor-
cestershire, and that a Conservative candidate will also
shortly declare himself. The last contest for the division
was between Mr. Pakington, Conservative, and the Hon.
F. H. G. IV. Calthorpo, when the former was defeated.
It is stated that all the messages sent from Eng-
land by the Malta and Alexandria cable to catch the India
mail which left Marseilles on the 6th inst. were duly re-
ceived in time for transmission by that steamer. The line
is said to continuo to work well, and the traffic is daily in-
' creaeing.

of Hungary, who, it may be remembered, recently
sent him a letter of thanks for his advocacy of their
rights in the British House of Commons, in reply to
which ho wrote an answer demolishing Mr. Roe-
buck's assertions in favour of Austria:

The social life and the-personal character of Mr.
Thomas Duncombe are matters with which the
biographer has nothing to do. How it came to
pass that the scion of a proud Yorkshire Tory
family, forsaking his ancestral traditions, became
an extreme Radical, and how the man of fashion,
the high-bred aristocrat, was gradually developed,
in the opinion of " the intelligent middle classes,'
into a patriot, a champion of popular rights, a de-
mocrat and a brother, passes our comprehension.
It is sufficient to say that the death of Thomas
Slingaby Duncombe removes another of the old
familiar faces from the Mouse of Commons, de-
prives the Radical party of an influential name, and
leaves a vacant seat open to competition.---111orning
