News of the death of the Eight Honorable George'Ward Hunt,M.P., First Lord of the Admiralty, reached us some short time ago. We learn from “Men of the Time” that he was the only surviving son of the late Eev. Geo. Hunt, of Buckhurat, Berkshire, and Wadenhoe House, Oundle, Northamptonshire, by Emma, daughter of Mr. Samuel Gardiner, of Coombe Lodge, Oxfordshire. He was born at Buckhurst, July 30, 1825, and educated at Eton and at Christ Church, Oxford (B.A. 1848, M.A. 1851, Hon. D.O.L. 1870). Mr. Hunt was called to the bar in 1851, and went the Oxford circuit, but he relinquished practice before entering Parliament. In 1852 and 1857 he unsuccessfully contested the borough of Northampton in the Conservative interest, but in December, 1857, on the death of Mr. Augustus Stafford, he was returned for the northern division of the county of Northampton, which he has represented ever since. Always an active and business member of the House of Commons, Mr. Hunt took, in 1866, a very prominent position by introducing a Bill for dealing with the cattle plague, and by pressing it on with indomitable energy, pari passu with the measure of the Government. On the accession of Lord Derby to power in June, 1866, Mr. Hunt was nominated Financial Secretary to the Treasury, and he was Chancellor of the Exchequer from February to December, 1868. He was swcrn of the Privy Council on being appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer. In February, 1874, when Mr. Disraeli formed his Cabinet, Mr. Hunt- was appointed First Lord of the Admiralty. Mr. Hunt was a magistrate and Deputy-Lieutenant for Northamptonshire, and was elected chair-' man of the Quarter Sessions for that county in April, 1876. He married, in 1857, Alice, third daughter of the Eight Eev. Eobert Eden, Bishop of Moray and Boss.
