DEATH OF TtilL CHAMPIO:

FROU THE IILITLAND 111ERCURY.•
The fanetal of the lion. and Rev. the Champion
Dymoke, whodeparted this lite on the 3d inst. took
glace on Monday last, at Sctivelsby, at about one
o'clock. It was attszJed by the neighhru•ing Gentry.
by his numerous tenantry, and by a liege concoutse
of the inhabit.ints of Ho►ncastle and Vie adjacent's'.
lages. To the liberal patronage of the late Champ en
the town of Horncastle has been much indebted ; the
annual P►c Nic Ball tot the benefit of the Public Dis-

pessary was estsblished there many years ago by Sr
Joseph Banks, but for some time befure his death the
infirm ties attendant on increasing age prevented his
annuli visit to his seat at Revesby, and the bills gra-
dually declined, till, on the late Champion's taking pos-
session of fictivelsby Court, those charitable meetings
were revived,. and the Dispensary Ball may now
fairly boat of being the sectnui public assemblage of
the aristocracy of this county. To the poor, the late
Champion was a liher.l benetactor ; and tie set a gooJ
example to 'the Gentry residing at their country seats,_
by supporting the tradesmen of the adjoining market
town in preference to purchasing the articles of COQ-
sumption in the metropolis. The ancestr yof his family
is as high and distingui,hed a, that of any in the proud
galaxy of English heraldry. In 1'292. when Philip ti.e
last Lord laritiyon died, be left female issue only:
and between them the ru.neri ui es ales in Lin-

eolnshire, Warwickshire, Leicestershire, and elsewhere,
were div,ded. By this pi colon, the manor and barony
o(Scrivelsby were allated it. Joan, the )s u egest dauAlt-
ter, by whose gral,' d. u :titer and heiress the same
passed in marri tge to S.r John. Dynioke, whO, with
Margatet his %site, had livery these..l in the 23d of
Edward 111. At the cot onation of Richard 11. Sit John
Dymoke claimed in sight of his wr, to lierrorin the
thee Of Champion; and :tom that pet it'd to thirmesent
tin* nearly 501) years. their male issue have continued
in possession s f the same inlietita:.ce." The late Rev..
John llymoke was the 17th or his family who inherited
that high and sin)..tt ar office, and i.n accou it or his
being a clerk in holy orders, his sots, Hero), Dyini.ke.
Esq. (the present Champion), was allowed th pet form
she service At the Coronation of his Majesty King
Geritge IV. in 1821. The chief part of Scriveisby
Cr urt, the ancient baronial sear, was destroyed by fire
silty or seventy years ago. In the pea cotoumed was
a very large hall, on the Panels of the wainscoting or
a Inch were depicted tl:e various arms and alliances of
the family, this ugh all its tiumercus and far traced
descents. The loss has been in some degree compensated
by the addition which the Ude plopri-tois made to those
parts Which esca.)ed the ravages of the flumes. Against
the sou:li wall of the chancel in the parish chuich of
Scriveisby is a very handsome marble monument, or.
namented with a Lust of the Ilonourahle Lewis Dr.
moke, Cframpion at the Coronation of King George the
First and King George the Second. On the north side
of the chancel is a mural tablet to the memory of the
Hon. John Dymoke, who performed the pike of

mutton table is s plate of copper, on which is an in-
scription to The memory of Sir Charles Dymoke,
Knight, who was Champion ..t the Coronation of King
James 11. At the eastern end of the aisle are two
'tombs, on one of which is a'figure of a Knight in chain
armour, cross legged, on the other that of a Lady with
a lion at her feet. By the side of these is the tomb of
Sir Robert Dymoke, who was Champion at the egyo.
nations of Richard 111. Henty VII. and Ilenty VIII.
