We greatly regret to have to record the death of

Lord Cawdor on Wednesday, after a long illness. Lord Cawdor, who Mt for ten years in the House of Commons as Viscount Emlyn, showed remarkable ability as Chairman of the Great Western BailwaY Company, a post which he held from 1895 to 1905. Summoned to the Admiralty in the last year of the late Unionist Administration, he was hampered by ill-health

during his brief tenure of effice, but of- late years had exere deed an influence second to that of none of the Opposition leaders in the Lords, and was chosen, along with Lord Lans- downe, to represent the Unionist Peers in the Conference.
