was a candidate for the county, but withdrew on the third day of the poll, the numbers being-for Pelham, 3,693; Chaplin, 3,069; Heron 2,653. He attributed his defeat to not having paid agents. In December, 1819, Lord Fitzwilliam offered him a seat for Peterborough; and, although his appearance there excited the ire of the clergy, one of whom called him "a rascal, a jacobin, and an atheist," he was returned without opposition, in the room of the Hon. William Lamb. At the general election in 1820 he was rechosen with Mr. Scarlett (afterwards Lord Abinger); and again in 1826, 1830, 1831, and 1832, without opposition. In 1835 there was a third candidate in the person of Mr. Walker Ferrand, in 1837 in Mr. W. E. Surtees, and in 1841 in Mr. Thomas Gladstone; but none of these Conservative gentlemen were successful, the old Whig and Fitz William interest always securing Sir Robt. Heron's return. At the dissolution of 1852 he retired from Parliament, being then in his 82nd year. He was chairman of the Board of Guardians of the Newark Union up to a very recent period; and he not only paid great attention to that office, but continued his activity as a county magistrate. His politics were thoroughly Liberal: he was a Christian in the proper sense of the word, and he maintained a conscientious and consistent course throughout his life.

He had been for some time declining; but his death, though daily expected, was sudden; he was sitting in his library, and on being asked at bed-time whether he was disposed to retire, it was discovered that life had glided away.

He married, Jan. 9, 1792, Amelia, daughter of Sir Horatio Mann, K.B. by the Lady Lucy Noel, sixth daughter of Baptist fourth Earl of Gainsborough. By her ladyship, who died in Dec. 1846, Sir Robert Heron had no issue, and the title has consequently become extinct.

When still a boy, on the 26th Sept. 1807, he succeeded to the baronetcy which had been

conferred in 1796 on his maternal grandfather with special remainder to him; and on the 8th May, 1815, he also succeeded his father in the baronetcy of 1781. In 1822 he received the royal licence to prefix the name of Amcotts before his own.

On the succession of the Hon. Charles A. Pelham to the peerage as Lord Yarborough, in Dec. 1823, Sir William Ingilby was returned to parliament for Lincolnshire, after a contest with Sir John H. Thorold, Bart. in which he polled 3816 votes, and Sir John 1575. He was rechosen without opposition in 1826, 1830, and 1831; and after the enactment of the Reformed system of representation he was elected for the Northern division of the same county, which is called the Parts of Lindsey. He was then opposed by Sir Robert Sheffield, Bart. who appeared on the Conservative interest, the result beingHon. C. A. W. Pelham. Sir W. A. Ingilby, Bart. Sir Robert Sheffield, Bart. In 1835 the Conservatives more strongly, and effected Sir William Ingilby's defeat:
