THE HON. C. H. HUTCHINSON. 
The Honourable Christopher Hely Hut- 
chinson, M.P. for the city of Cork, who 
died at Benlomond House, Devonshire 
Hill, Hampstead, on the 26th of August, 
after a lingering, illness, was a younger 
brother of the late Earl of Donoughmore, 
and also of the present Lord Hutchinson. 
-'The Helys: and the Hutchinsons are 
families of ancient standing in Ireland. 
Francis Hely, Esq., grandfather of the 
subject ‘of ‘this sketch, was an attorney of 
some eminence. His son, John Hely, 
“was a man of transcendant abilities and 
insatiable ambition. He commenced his 
public career as ‘an advocate, and realized a 
fortune of at least £80,000 by his pro- 
fessional efforts. He was called to the 
bar in ‘1748, ‘and returned “to parliament 
’ for Lanesborough in 1759, ‘and for the city 
‘of Cork in''1761, which ‘he’ continued to 
' represent*utitil his death in 1795.- He was 
‘appointed prime-serjeant’ at law’in 1762 
provost of Trinity college, Dublin, in 1774; 
‘and seeretary of state for Ireland in 1777. 
Tt was this gentleman of whom it was said, 
Biographical, Memoirs of Eminent Persons. 
445, 
English origin, of whom, Christopher Hut- 
chinson,. Esq,,. the. first .of,the, family in 
Ireland, had a grant from Queen.Elizabeth 
of the priory, of, Cahir and.its, possessions. 
Mr, Hely,,.soon, after..his, marriage, with 
Miss Nixon,, assumed), the; name of, Hut-. 
chinson ;. and. at .a. subsequent, period,..in 
return for, the splendid fortune brought him 
by, his wife, he had. the . satisfaction. of 
procuring herelevation to. the peerage... On 
the 16th of October,.1783, she was created 
Baroness Donoughmore, of .Knocklofty,.in 
the county of Tipperary, with remainder to 
her heirs male by her then husband... Of 
a family of six sons and four daughters by 
this marriage, the late Earl.of .Donough- 
more was the first son; Lord Hutchinson 
the second; and Christopher Hely Huteh- 
inson, the late member for Cork, the fifth. 
Mr, Hutchinson was born 5th, of April, 
1767. He. was not bred to any profession ; 
but, devotedly attached to his brother.the 
general, now Lord Hutchinson, he, without 
possessing any military command, or the 
remotest prospect ofany appointment what- 
soever, accompanied him during Sir Ralph 
Abercrombie’s—or rather the . Duke. of 
York’s—short but memorable campaign. in 
Holland, in the early part of the late war 
of the revolution; and, with an.unabated 
zeal highly honourable.to. the: affection, of 
both brothers,. he afterwards, in. the, year 
1801, attended , General... Hutchinson., to 
Egypt, unappalled by, distance and fatigue, 
and unterrified bythe idea of disease and 
death. It has been remarked, indeed, that 
the Hutchinsons have always resembled 
the bundle of sticks inthe fable, and at- 
tained an increased degree of strength 
by their cohesion.—In~ consequence of 
a dispute . originating,.in..a . contested 
election, no. fewer than three sons.of that 
family were engaged in affairs of honour in 
the course of one single day. . It, was.ob- 
served, also, on the approach.of the inquiry 
into the conduct of her late majesty, Queen 
Caroline, that Lord Donoughmore, Lord 
Hutchinson, and. Mr, C. H. Hutehinson, 
appeared on one day at. Carlton, House ; 
this was the more remarkable,, as, pre- 
viously the family-interest .had generally 
gone with the opposition. — 
From his serving merely as a yolunteer 
in Holland, where he was made.a super- 
numerary aid-de-camp to. Sir..R,. Aber- 
crombie, and from, his campaign in Egypt, 
Mr. Hutchinson had seen, before he was 
that if the King would’ give him Great 
Britain and Treland he would beg the Isle 
” “of Man for a kitchen-garden. He married, 
‘°4n-1751, Christiana, daughter of Lorenzo 
_ Nixon, of Murny, in the cotinty of Wick- 
> Yow, Esq,, and ‘niece and heir of Richard 
Hutchinson, of Kinoeklofty, im’ the county 
* “Of 'Fipperary, Esq. Mr. Hutebinson was 
the” ndant ‘of an ‘aneient family of 
actually in the army, more real service than 
many of our generals. .At the conclusion 
of hostilities, he was,sent with despatches 
to Constantinople, »where he was received 
with every mark of distinction, At length 
he entered, into the army regularly,, and 
passed through the yarious gradations to 
the rank of lieutenant-colonel of the 112th 
regiment of foot; of which regiment, we 
believe, he was on,the half-pay till the time
