Sir Denis Le Marcbant brings to the office some
experience as a member of the House and a long
practical acquaintance with subordinate duties both
in Parliament and in administration. With respect
to his family, it may be stated that it has claims to
considerable antiquity, as one of his lineal ancestors
was chief magistrate and lieutenant-governor of the
island of Guernsey in 1204. The family has main-
tained its consideration in the Channel 'quids
through the series of intermediate centuries,
but without achieving any prominent distinc-
tion, furnishing magistrates and office bearers who
worthily discharged their several functions. About
1765 the father of Sir Denis was born. He entered
the army, in which his promotion was rapid, as might
be expected during the long destructive wars that
followed the French revolution, and he became a dis-
tinguished commander. Some improvements in the
sword exercise, the establishment of the Royal Mili-
tary College, and various military reforms, are due to
his suggestive mind ; and no doubt he would have
achieved the highest distinctions, but he fell at Sala-
manca whilst in command of the heavy brigade of
cavalry. He married a Miss Carey, of Guernsey.
and left two sons, the eldest of whom, born in 1795,
is the subject of this notice, and the second Sir John
Gaspard Le Marchant, born 1803, is the present
Governor of Newfoundland. He is also a Brigadier-
General in the service of the Queen of Spain.
The civil service of his country was the lot of the
elder brother. He, therefore, studied for the bar, to
which he was called at Lincoln's Inn in 1822. Eight
years afterwards he became principal secretary to
Lord Brougham, then Lord Chancellor. In 1834 he
succeeded Lord Bathurst as clerk of the Crown in
Chancery, but resigned that office in the course of the
same year in consequence of a change in the Ministry.
He resumed office in 1836, as Secretary to the Beard
of Trade----ap-appointment which he held till June,
1841, when:" 11#. was promoted to a secretaryship of
the Treasury. Its 1E47, soon after the accession of
Lord tiik office, he was appointed Under-
Secretary i;cle Hanle; Department, and in 1848 he

MURDER OF A TOLL-KEEPER.
In The Sun of yesterday we briefly mentioned that
a toll-keeper, near Todniorden, had been most brutally
murdered. The following are fuller particulars of
the circumstances attending the awful crime :—The
person murdered is James Smith, aged 41 years, a
lame and decrepid man. Smith was a bachelor, and
sold fruit and confectionary at the toll-gate. He was
seen last alive by William Holt, carter, who drives a
carrier's cart between Heptonstall and Rochdale, and
who passed through the toll-gate before named a few
minutes before twelve o'clock, P.m., on his way home,
at which time Smith was standing at the door, and
remarked to the carter on his passing through the
gate, that he was only just in time, and that had he
been a few minutes later he would have been subjected
to a fresh toll. The door of the toll-house, it appears,
is usually fastened inside by an iron bar, and is sup-
posed to have been so fastened on the night of the
murder, and it is supposed to have been unbarred by
means of a piece of crooked wire or iron having been
introduced through the key-hole of the door (which
was without lock), by which means it is likely the
bar was shot back, and an entrance obtained, after
which the murderer proceeded up stairs where the
unfortunate man lay, and attacked him, it is believed,
whilst he WAS asleep, with some sharp 'instrument,
cutting off the bottom part of his ear, which wound
was continued along the left cheek to the under
side of the lip in one continuous gash as
