DEATH OF LADY JOLLIFFE.—The news of this sad and mournful event reached here on the morning of Thursday, and caused a degree of gloom and sorrow to an extent rarely experienced in this town and neighbourhood, wherein this amiable and charitable lady was beloved and esteemed by all who had the happiness to possess the knowledge of her kind and condescending goodness and worth. Her ladyship died on the 23rd instead of., at Stratton-street, London, in her 54th year. She was the second daughter of the Hon. Berkeley Paget, brother of the late Marquis of Anglesey, and was the mother of a large family, viz., six sons and five daughters. Four sons and five daughters are still living, to mourn with their father their irreparable loss. Her ladyship had two gallant sons engaged in the Crimean struggle,—Captain Hylton Jolliffe, of the Guards, who fought with his noble regiment, through the brilliant victory of the Alma, and unfortunately died before Sabatopol, from the effect of cholera; and Captain (then Lieutenant) H. A. Jolliffe, of the 4th Light Dragoons, who was one of the few officers that escaped from that ever memorable Light Cavalry charge, at Balaclava, against the Russian batteries; and who is at present the member for the city of Wells.
Eleanor Jolliffe, buried at St Katherine Church, Merstham, Surrey.
