RIGHT REV. RICHARD BAGOT, D.D.

BISHOP OF BATH AND Wells. May 15. At Brighton, aged 71, the Hon. and Right Rev. Richard Bagot, D.D. Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells.

Dr. Bagot was born at Daventry in Northamptonshire, on the 22d Nov. 1782. He was the third son of William first Lord Bagot, by the Hon. Louisa St. John, daughter of John second Lord Viscount Bolingbroke. He was educated at Rugby school, which he entered with his elder brother Charles (the late Right Hon. Sir Charles Bagot), under the mastership of Dr. James, in 1790; and thence proceeded in 1800 to Christ Church, Oxford. took his B.A. degree in 1803, and in 1804 was elected to a fellowship of All Souls, which he retained until 1806, when he married Lady Harriet Villiers, youngest daughter of George-Bussey fourth Earl of Jersey. He proceeded M.A. on the 7th Nov. in the same year, and was created D.D. in 1829.

He

In 1806 he was presented by his father to the rectory of Leigh in Staffordshire, and in 1807 to that of Blithfield, and in the latter year he became a Canon of Windsor. In 1817 he was appointed a Canon of Worcester.

In 1829 he was consecrated Bishop of Oxford; and in 1845, on the death of Bishop Law, was translated to the see of Bath and Wells.

On the appearance of the "Tracts for the Times," Dr. Bagot was, against his will, forced into prominent notice. He was accused of favouring the so-called Romanisers, and was besieged by letters from private persons, and by articles in the daily press, requiring him "to suspend the authors of the Tracts," and to clear the University of Oxford from all but true Protestants. On the other side, he was regarded as a shield from the indignation of the public. The Bishop deemed it prudent to require that the publication of the "Tracts for the Times" should cease; which they accordingly did. So great, however, had the outcry become, that the Bishop's charge of 1842, in which he alluded to the circumstances, was considered as an apology for the writers.

The excitement of this time and the Bishop's failing health, together with the desire expressed in certain quarters that the Bishopric of Oxford should be administered by a more vigorous and younger man, was the cause of his being translated to Bath and Wells, on the death of Dr. Law in 1845.

In the usual course of events, it might have been presumed that such exciting circumstances would no more trouble Dr. Bagot. Yet there was one more serious trial reserved for him; an attack was made upon him in the House of Commons by Mr. Horsman, for inducting the Rev. W. J. E. Bennett into the living of Frome, which by law he was compelled to do. This was the forerunner of that painful mental aberration which afflicted Dr. Bagot shortly afterwards. From this period up to the time of Dr. Bagot's decease, the affairs of the diocese of Bath and Wells were under the administration of the Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, by an Act of Parliament passed for that purpose.

To the private character of the late Bishop we have heard the most eloquent testimony; he was gentle, confiding, and a lover of peace, was a munificent patron of the Church societies, and a generous friend to the poor. His Lordship does not appear to have published any other than a Sermon before the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, in 1835, and Charges in 1834, 1837, 1842, and 1847.

The Bishop had been for some time suffering from disease of the heart, which eventually deprived him of the use of one of his hands. Amputation was advised by his Lordship's medical attendants, and the operation was performed, but the health of the sufferer gradually declined, and for some time past it had become evident that his recovery was not to be expected.

By Lady Harriet, who survives him, he had issue eight sons and four daughters: 1. Lieut.-Colonel Edward Richard Bagot, Lieut.-Colonel of the Westminster Militia, formerly of the 60th Royal Rifles, and Knight of the Redeemer of Greece; who married in 1842 Matilda, widow of Oswald Perkins, esq. and has issue; 2. Villiers, who died in 1810, in his second year; 3. Capt. Henry Bagot, R.N. who married in 1846 his cousin Wilhelmina-Frederica, youngest daughter of the Right Hon. Sir Charles Bagot, G.C.B. and has issue; 4. the Rev. Charles Walter Bagot, Rector of Castle Rising, Norfolk, Chancellor of the diocese of Bath and Wells, and Registrar of the diocese of Oxford, who married in 1846 Mary second daughter of Colonel John Chester, and has issue; 5. the Rev. Louis Francis Bagot, Rector of Leigh, co. Stafford; who married in 1848 Catharine, third daughter of the late Hon. and Rev. John Evelyn Boscawen; 6. Harriet

Frances, married in 1837 to the Rev. Lord Charles Thynne, (uncle to the Marquess of Bath,) a Canon of Canterbury, and Vicar of Longbridge Deverell, Wilts, and has issue; 7. Major George Bagot, Captain in the 41st Foot, and First Aidede-camp to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland; 8. Frances-Caroline, who died in 1840, aged twenty-one; 9. Richard, who died in 1840, aged nineteen; 10. the Rev. Frederick Bagot, Rector of Rodney Stoke, Somerset, and a Prebendary of Wells; 11. Emily-Mary, who died in 1853, having married in 1850 the Hon. and Rev. George Thomas Orlando Bridgeman, second son of the Earl of Bradford; and 12. MaryIsabel, married in 1843 to Lord Viscount Downe, and has issue.

the Rt. Hon. Thomas Grenville for the term of his life, with remainder to the Master of Magdalene and his heirs male; but Mr. Grenville, with that kind and generous spirit which marked all his actions, at once made over the extensive landed property to Mr. Neville, observing that his own means were ample, and that it was too late for him to turn country gentleman. Upon this gratifying occurrence Mr. Neville assumed the name and arms of Grenville, pursuant to Lord Glastonbury's directions.

In 1846, having been for some time one of the Queen's Chaplains, he was appointed Dean of Windsor, without any solicitation on his part, by Sir Robert Peel, on the death of Dr. Hobart. He diligently applied himself to the discharge of the duties of his high station, and acquired the confidence and regard of every person connected with St. George's Chapel; but, his health failing, he had for some time been obliged to abstain from active business, though he continued to reside at the Deanery great part of the year. In justice to his memory, it cannot be too widely known that his charities, dispensed in the most delicate and unostentatious manner, were as munificent as his means were ample. At the close of his long incumbency, he left Hawarden with the blessings of the poor on his head; and at Butleigh, of which parish he had for a short time been Vicar, there was scarcely a dry eye when it became known to the villagers that their benefactor had passed from them for ever. In the same spirit, during the time the Dean and his family resided at Windsor, many a desolate fireside was made cheerful by the exercise of his bounty, and his consideration for the sick poor of the district was proverbial. Without any pretensions to deep scholarship, the Dean had acquired a good deal of general information, and his vivacity and courteous manners rendered him a very agreeable member of society. He also possessed a tender heart and generous disposition, and was greatly beloved by his numerous family, for whom he entertained the warmest affection. From his earliest years he had paid great attention to his religious duties, thus laying the foundation for that Christian and unaffected piety which marked his long and useful career.

The Dean married in May, 1816, Lady Charlotte Legge, the second daughter of George third Earl of Dartmouth, K.G. by whom, who survives him, he has left four daughters and six sons :-Ralph, the eldest, who succeeds to the family estates, and assumes the surname and arms of Grenville, espoused in 1845 Julia Roberta

fourth daughter of Sir Robert Frankland, Bart. and has issue four sons and two daughters; William-Frederick, Vicar of Butleigh, married in 1847 Fanny Grace daughter of William Blackwood, esq. and has five children; Seymour, a Minor Canon of Windsor; Edward, Captain in the Fusileer Guards, now on the Staff in Turkey; Glastonbury, Lieutenant R.E. serving in Nova Scotia; William-Wyndham, a scholar of Magdalene College, Cambridge. Of the daughters two only are unmarried. The eldest, FrancesCatherine, in 1849 became the wife of the Rev. Edmund Peel, Vicar of Wargrave, Berks; and the youngest, Harriet-Louisa, in 1854 married the Rev. Arundell St. John Mildmay, Rector of Lapworth, Warwickshire.

The late Dean's remains were deposited in the family vault at Butleigh Church, on Saturday June the 17th, the funeral being plainly and unostentatiously conducted, and attended only by the nearest relations of the deceased, and the tenantry and servants on the estate.

SIR JOHN GErard, Bart. Feb. 21. At Lower Grove House, Roehampton, aged 50, Sir John Gerard, the twelfth Bart. (1611), of New Hall, Lancashire, a Deputy Lieutenant of that county.

This representative of an old Roman Catholic family, which was one of the first raised to the dignity of Baronet by King James the First, was born on the 8th Dec. 1804, the eldest son of John Gerard, esq. of Windle Hall, co. Lancaster (third son of Sir Robert-Cansfield the ninth Baronet), by Elizabeth, daughter of Edward Ferrers, esq. of Baddesley Clinton, co. Warwick.

He succeeded to the title on the death of his uncle Sir William, the eleventh Baronet, on the 2d August, 1826. He was appointed Lieut.-Colonel of the 3d Lancacashire militia in 1842, but resigned in 1852; and in 1848 Major commandant of the Lancashire Hussars.

He married, Dec. 3, 1827, Monica, daughter of Thomas Strickland Standish, of Standish Hall, co. Lanc. and Sizergh, co. Westmerland, esq. but had no issue.

He is succeeded by his brother Robert, born in 1808, who married in 1849 a daughter of Edward Clifton, esq. of Dorset-square.

SIR THOMAS S. DYER, BART. March 17. At Dartmouth, Devonshire, aged 83, Sir Thomas Swinnerton Dyer, the sixth Baronet (1678), Commander R.N.

He was born on the 4th Nov., 1771, the eldest son of Thomas Dyer, esq. (second son of Sir John Swinnerton the fourth Baronet,) by Mary, widow of William GENT. MAG. VOL. XLII.

Berney, esq. of Barbados, daughter of B. Smith, esq. of Islington.

He entered the navy in 1782, on board the Union 90, and in the same year was present at the relief of Gibraltar, and in Lord Howe's partial actions with the combined fleets of France and Spain. He afterwards served in the Elizabeth 74, Culloden 74, Carysfort 28, Leander 50, Bulldog 16, Alfred 74, and Victory 100; on the Home and Mediterranean stations. He received his first commission June 29, 1793; and at the occupation of Toulon in August that year he served on shore. Early in the following year he contributed to the reduction of Corsica, where he landed at the taking of the tower of Mortella, and witnessed the capture and destruction of the French frigates Minerve and Fortunée. In the same ship he participated in Hotham's action of the 15th July 1795; and in bringing out of Tunis bay, on the 9th March, 1796, of the Nemesis 28, and Sardine 22. He was next appointed to the Mahonesa 40, Hector 74, Blenheim 90, and Diadem 64, and to the command of the Ready gun-brig, which he held for thirteen months. On the renewal of hostilities, after the short peace of 1802, Mr. Dyer joined, on the 5th July, 1803, the Sea Fencibles at Rye; where he remained until appointed, July 3, 1805, First Lieutenant of the Vesuvius bomb.

In Nov. 1805, Rear-Adm. Sir William Sidney Smith, meditating an attack upon the flotilla in Boulogne roads, issued a general notification of the intention of Government to reward any signal acts of bravery that might be performed during the approaching operations. Influenced by this announcement, Mr. Dyer volunteered the command of a boat with only nine hands; and presently had the good fortune, at a distance of four miles and a half from the British squadron, to blow up, by means of a carcass expressly prepared, and in the centre of 26 of the enemy's vessels, one of the only two that were destroyed on that occasion. Six of his men were wounded; but he received no other acknowledgment of this very gallant exploit than that of being personally complimented by the RearAdmiral.

After a brief attachment to four other ships, Mr. Dyer, a few days subsequent to his removal to l'Athénienne 64, was wrecked near Tunis on the 27th Oct. 1806, on which occasion the Captain (Robert Raynsford) and 396 of the crew perished: and he suffered a loss of property to the amount of 2761. which he never recovered.

He next served in the Pompée 74, bearing the flag of Sir W. S. Smith, and Jane 32, until paid off on his return to England in July, 1807. He afterwards held the

L

command for a short time of the Centurion receiving-ship at Halifax; and on the 12th July, 1810, he was at length, through the influence of H.R.H. the Duke of Kent, promoted to the rank of Commander in the Driver 18. He paid off that sloop on the 8th Jan. 1811; and was not subsequently employed. He was admitted to the out-pension of Greenwich Hospital on the 24th April, 1837.

He succeeded to the baronetcy April 12, 1838, on the death of his cousin Lieut-Gen. Sir Thomas Richard Swinnerton Dyer, Bart.

He married April 14, 1814, Mary, dau. of John Davis, esq. and has left no issue. He is succeeded by his nephew, now Sir Thomas Dyer, formerly of the Royal Artillery, son of the late Lieut.-Colonel Sir John Dyer, K.C.B. He married in 1832, a daughter of Colonel J. A. Clement, R. Art.

SIR DAVID CUNYNGHAME, BART.

May 19. In Jersey, in his 86th year, Sir David Cunynghame, the fifth Baronet of Milncraig, co. Ayr (1700), a Colonel in the army.

He was born in the Canongate, at Edinburgh, on the 14th August, 1769, the elder son of Sir William Augustus Cunynghame, the fourth Baronet, by his first wife Frances daughter and heiress of Sir Robert Myrton, Bart. of Cogar, Mid Lothian.

He was appointed Ensign in the 92d Foot Nov. 14, 1781, Lieutenant in the same regiment Feb. 6, 1783, Captain in the 95th, on the 20th March following; and in the 3d Foot Guards May 3, 1786.

SIR ROBERT HERON, BART.

May 26. At his residence, Stubton, co. Lincoln, aged 89, Sir Robert Heron, the second Baronet (1778), a Deputy Lieutenant of Lincolnshire.

He was born at Newark on the 27th Nov. 1765, the only son of Thomas Heron, esq. of Chilham Castle, Kent, Recorder of Newark, by his first wife Anne, daughter of Sir Edward Wilmot, Bart. M.D. Physician to King George III. He succeeded to the baronetcy in Jan. 1805, on the death of his uncle the Right Hon. Sir Richard Heron, some time Chief Secretary of Ireland, upon whom the dignity had been conferred, with remainder to the male issue of his brother.

In comparatively early life Sir Robert became a politician, and afterwards took an active part in some of the election contests for Lincolnshire. In 1812 he thought of standing for the county, but abandoned that intention, and canvassed Grimsby, for which borough he was returned, and he first spoke in the House of Commons on the Catholic question, his maiden speech being complimented by Bankes, Plunkett, and Whitbread, and as he himself said in his "Notes," "privately by Canning, who afterwards abused him publicly." At the general election in 1818, Sir Robert
