1629.] OBITUARY.-Godfrey Sykes, Esq.-George Ward, Esq.

Committee of Privileges and Elections in the House of Commons.

Sir Edward was created a Baronet Oct. 3, 1818. He was twice married, first, in 1766, to Elizabeth, daughter of Richard Lathom, esq. and widow of John Williamson, esq. By that lady, who died in 1775, he had five sons and two daughters: 1. Sir EdwardHardinge-John, who succeeds to the title. He has been for some years Counsel to the Chairman of the House of Lords; and married in 1810, Anne, only daughter and heiress of William Brooksbank, of the Beech, in Lancashire, esq. but has no issue; 2. Hardinge-Charles, of Lincoln's Inn, barrister-at-law, who died unmarried in 1816; 3. the Rev. George, Rector of Rackheath, who married in 1814, Sophia-Anne, youngest daughter and coheiress of Edmund Mapes, of Rollesby-hall, Norfolk, esq. and has two daughters; 4. Josias-Henry, who married in 1800 Diana, eldest daughter of David Scott, esq. formerly M.P. for Forfar, and has several sons and daughters; 5. John, of Sprouston-lodge, Norfolk, who has been twice married, but has no children; 6. Julia, married to the Rev. Benjamin-Ker Vaughan, Rector of Areton Gifford, Devon ; and 7. Sophia, married in 1792 to Jonathan Micklethwait, of Burton in Norfolk, esq.

Sir Edward married secondly, Sept. 24, 1777, Elizabeth, daughter of Edward Bull, esq. of Frome, and had issue: 8. Francis; 9. Henry, who was in the army, and died during the last twelvemonth; and 10. Harriet, who died unmarried in 1820.

GODFREY SYKES, ESQ.

Lately. In Powis-place, Great Ormondstreet, Godfrey Sykes, esq. Solicitor to the Stamp-office.

Mr. Sykes was educated at Sidney Sussex college, Cambridge, where he proceeded A.B. He afterwards 1793, and A.M. 1796.

studied the law, and became a very eminent
Special Pleader. Amongst other pupils he
had the late Lord Gifford, who, when At-
torney-general, was allowed to nominate to
the appointment of Solicitor of the Stamp-
office;
and a more respectable appointment,
in all respects, has seldom, we believe, been
made in any department. It is due to the
memory of Mr. Sykes to declare, that no
man could combine a more useful degree of
zeal and knowledge than he carried with
him, and maintained in the public service;
and his very amiable and friendly manners
were universally acknowledged, and his death
is as universally regretted.

A large portrait of this eminent lawyer has been published, engraved in mezzotinto by W. Ward, A.R.A. from a picture by T. Stewardson.

GEORGE WARD, ESQ.
Feb. 18. At his seat, Northwood Park,
in the Isle of Wight, after a short illness, in
GENT. MAG. February, 1829.

185

his 78th year, George Ward, esq. formerly
very eminent Spanish and Mediterranean
Merchant in the City of London.

His life was one of usefulness and charity:
his death was that of a real Christian. He
married a daughter of the late Henry Sam--
son Woodfall, esq. and has left six sons and
several daughters, to follow his good exam-
ple. His second son, Wm. Ward, esq. is
one of the Representatives in Parliament
for the City of London.

CLERGY DECEASED.

Aug. 29. At the residence of his father, Archdeacon Churton, Middleton Cheney, Northamptonshire, aged 26, after a decline of a few months, the Rev. William-Ralph Churton, Fellow of Oriel college, Oxford, and Domestic Chaplain to his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Dec. 3. At his seat, Scrivelsby Court, Lincolnshire, aged 63, the Rev. John Dymoke, Prebendary of Lincoln, Rector of Scrivelsby-cum-Dalderby, and hereditary King's Champion. This gentleman was son of Lewis Dymoke, esq. who in 1814 petitioned the King to declare him entitled to the Barony of Marmion of Scrivelsby, in virtue of the seisure of the manor of Scrivelsby; but died before the House of Lords had arrived at a decision. His claim to the title was derived from the same source as the Championship, that is, from the ancient Lords Marmion; but there is reason to believe that, although the tenure of the manor of Scrivelsby by grand serjeantcy gives a right to the office of Champion, the Barony would never be allowed on the sanie grounds, the Earldom of Arundel being a solitary instance of the kind. The Rev. John Dymoke was the 17th of his name who inherited the singular office of Champion; and, on account of his being a clerk in holy orders, it was executed by his son Henry Dymoke, esq. (who has now succeeded to its honours) at the Coronation of George the Fourth in 1821. The deceased was of Lincoln coll. Oxford, M.A. 1781; was presented to the family living of Serivelsby in 1795, and to the prebend Sanctæ Crucis in the Cathedral of Lincoln in 1806. His funeral was attended by the neighbouring gentry, by his numerous tenantry, and by a large concourse of the inhabitants of Horncastle and the adjacent villages. To the liberal patronage of the late Champion the town of Horncastle has been much indebted; the annual Pic-nic Ball for the benefit of the Public Dispensary was established there many years ago by Sir Joseph Banks, but for some time before his death the infirmities attendant on increasing age prevented his annual visit to his seat at Revesby, and the balls gradually de till, on the late Champion's tak
