LORD GRAN BROOK,
Received October 31, 8.30 a.m. LONDON, October 30. The death is announced of the Earl of Cranbrook. (Deceased, who was in his 83rd year, was educated at Shrewsbury and Oxford, and was afterwards admitted as a barrister and practised for some years.

In the following year, on the formation of Lord Derby's third Administration, he was appointed to Cabinet rank, and he continued to be a member of various Conservative Ministries down to 1892. He was raised to the peerage as a Viscount in 1878, and croated an Earl in 1892. Lord Cranbrook was a capable administrator and a powerful debater.)
