SIR J. C. HIPPISLEY, BART., D.C.L., F.R & Avs 
This venerable gentleman died at his 
house in Grosvenor-street, on ‘Tuesday, at 
the advanced age of 79. He early entered 
as a Student, and became a Bencher of the 
Inner Temple. In the years 1779 and 1780, 
being in Italy, he was engaged in many 
‘important communications to Government. 
On his return in the following year, he was 
recommended by Lord North, then at the 
head of the Treasury, to the Cowt of 
Directors of the East-India Company, by 
whom he was appointed to that service, 
with the advanced rank of four years. He 
resigned this employment in 1789, having 
‘held offices of great trust and importance 
in the kingdom of Tanjore, during the war 
‘with Hyder Ally, and his son Tippoo Sul- 
‘taun. In 1790 he was appointed Recorder 
of ‘Sudbury,’ and in the same year was 
elected one of the Representatives for that 
* borough, for which he served in fiye parlia- 
ments. From 1792 to 1795 he was em- 
ployed in some important negociations in 
Italy, in consequence of which his Majesty 
‘ conferred on him the title of a Baronet. 
In 1785, he negociated the marriage be- 
tween the Princess Royal of Great Britain 
and ‘the late King of Wurtemberg, who 
granted to him and his posterity the right 
’ of bearing the arms of the House of Wur- 
temberg: he was also appointed a Com- 
‘ missioner and Trustee of her Royal High- 
ness’s marriage-settlement. 
_ The munificent act of his Majesty in 
- favour of the late unfortunate representative 
of the House of Stuart, originated in the 
statement of his distresses. made by Sir 
John ; which transaction may be considered 
as forming an interesting epoch \in the 
history of our country. Sir John served 
the office of High Sheriff for Berkshire in 
1800; and in the same year was named 
“one of the first Managers of the Royal 
Institution, and a member of the Govern- 
ment'of the Turkey Company. He was 
for many years an active Magistrate of the 
Obituary of the Month. 
[July 1, 
County of Somerset, in which capacity none 
exceeded him in the zealous discharge of 
his duties. —As a Vice-President and effi- 
cient member. of the. West of England 
Agricultural Society, he will long be re- 
membered with esteem.— He was also a 
Trustee, and one of the principal promoters 
of the Literary Institution in Bath, in the 
prosperity of which he felt a lively interest, 
as well as that in whichis established in Bris- 
tol.—He was the author of several political 
publications ; and was anxious, at all times, 
to promote the welfare of his country — 
especially of the neighbourhood in which 
he resided, where his character is univer- 
sally respected, and his loss deeply Jamented. 
The title develyes on his son, now Sir John 
Stuart Hippisley.—His loss in the neigh- 
bourhood of his chief residence, which he 
much loved, and in which he was truly 
beloved, will be long and severely felt by 
every description of persons, as his kind 
heart—his ready band—end his extensive 
influence, were never more pleasingly em- 
ployed than in doing good ; and the highest 
evatification of his life was, the successful 
result of his endeavours.
