as follows:

house i'll Hill street, Berkeley square, in
his sixty-eighth year, the Hon. and Most
Rev. William Stuart. fifth and youngest
son of John Earl of Butte, archbishop of
Armagh and lord primate of all Ireland.
His death was occasioned by mistake
i'll administering quantity of laudanum
instead of draft which had been pre-
viously prescribed. His grace having
expressed some impatience that the draft
had not arrived, Mrs. Stuart inquired of
the servant if it had come. and being an
swered in the affirmative she desired it
might he brought to her immediately.
The under butler went to the porter and
demanded the draft for his master. The
man had just received it. together with
two ounce vial Of laudanum for his own
use. which he was in the habit of taking
occasionally in small quantities for dis
ease with which he was afflicted. Most
unluckily i'll the hurry of the moment,
instead Of giving the draft intended for
the archbishop. he accidentally substitut.

mum. In a few minutes the mistake was
