M. D., of Lower Brook-street, Oroevieor-square.—•• On
last Friday afternoon, at 5 o'clock, I received a net.
from Lady Londonderry, desiring me to come as soon as!
I could to see the Marquess of Londonderry, at his,
house in St. James's-square. Her note stated that die;
was very anxious about his Lordship, as she thought he
wan very ill sod very nervous; that they were to leave
town for North Cray at seven o'clock in the evening, and
that she hoped I would come before that boar. I arrived.
in St. James's-square at 6 o'clock, and found lir
lied and Lady afone In the drawing-room. Upon feel
lag Lis pulse I conceived him to be exceedingly ill. Hai
complained of a severe bead-ache, and of a confusion of
recollection. He looked pale, and was very mach dis-
tressed in his manner. I told him that I thought it was,
necessary that he should be capped, and that I would
stay and dine with his lady and himself whilst the cap.

.ounces of blood from the nape of Lordship's neck. After
the operation was performed, be stated that Le was rem

quietly down oo the sofa for half an hour; and as
he had scarcely eatea the whole day, to take a cap of
tea before be got into the carriage to return to North
Cray. He followed my advice, and laid himself
down on the couch, where he remained very tranquil.
After this he drank two cops of tea. I waited until I
saw my Lady and himself get into the carriage io order
to return to North Cray. Before his departure hie
JLordship said, that I mast be sure that he was very ill,
he expected that I would come to North Cray aid stay
all Saturday night, and, it possible, all Sunday. • I sent,
with him tome opening medicines, which he was to take
. early on Saturday that I might know the effect they bad
. produced on my arrival. 1 know that he took these
powders on Saturday. I arrived at North Cray about 7

Lordship bad not been out of bed all day, and I imam.

expressed suspicion and alarm. He said it was very odd
that I should come into his bedroom first, before going
into the dining-room below. I answered that I had
dined in town, and knowing that the family were at din-
ner down stairs, I bad come to visit him. Upon this
I.e made a reply which surprised me exceedingly. ft
was to this effect—that I seemed particularly grave in
my manner, and that something must have happened
amiss. He then asked me abruptly whether l had
any thing unpleasant to tell him ? I answered,
•• No; that I was surprised at hie question, and the
manner in which it was proposed." He then said,
