DEATH OF MR. RUSSELL. 



107 



Mr. Eussell gave up the hounds on account of failing 

 health at the end of the season of 1833. 



" Scrutator " copies the following notice from the 

 county paper of the sad and early death of Mr. Eussell. 



John Eussell, Esq., of Kirkby Mallory, Leicestershii'e, 

 and late of Upton House, in this county, died at 32, 

 Lansdowne-place, Leamington, on the 27tli of April, 1833, 

 in the thirty-ninth year of his age, sincerely and deeply 

 regretted by all who knew him. Mr. Eussell was Master 

 of the Warwickshire Hounds for three seasons, and acquired 

 great and deserved popularity in that situation. In him 

 were happily united the sound judgment and energy of a 

 first rate sportsman with the conciliatory and polished 

 manners of a gentleman, and he was much beloved for his 

 gentleness of deportment and excellent temper, which, 

 though often tried in the field, was never ruffled. Mr. 

 Eussell was the second son of Lord William Eussell, 

 brother of the Duke of Bedford. He entered early into 

 the navy, and served many years in the Mediterranean and 

 other parts of the world. 



" Tlius early called to everlasting rest, 

 Death spares not long the bravest and the best."
