3789, June 23, 1795, he is
inserted as 'Mr. Bermingham Daly Henry Sewell' to be a cornet in the
32nd Light Dragoons; and as in filling up commissions much accuracy is
always considered very essential, I am disposed to regard those
Christian names as correct.

"There was a Rev. George Sewell, Rector of Byfleet, Surrey, Was he a
brother of Lieut.-Col. Sewell of the Surrey Light Dragoons?

"Did the Right Hon. Sir Thomas Sewell marry a second wife? For I find,
in _The Globe_ of October 9, 1820: 'Died, Saturday, Sept. 16, at
Twyford Lodge, Maresfield, Sussex, in her seventy-eighth year, Lady
Sewell, widow of the late Right Hon. Sir Thomas Sewell, Master of the
Rolls and Privy Councillor, &c.' Now, in Manning's _Surrey_, vol. iii.
p. 201., it is stated that Lieut.-Col. Sewell died in 1803, in his
fifty-eighth year, which would render it impossible for him to be the
son of the above-named Lady Sewell. In Horsfield's _Sussex_, 4to.,
1835, vol. i. p. 375., I find a William Luther Sewell, Esq., who most
probably was connected by the second marriage, residing at the above
Twyford Lodge.

"I regret that I cannot reply distinctly to the inquiries of G. L. S.
respecting the late Lieut.-General Whitelocke. I have ineffectually
searched all the various biographical dictionaries to that of the Rev.
H. J. Rose in twelve volumes, 1848, inclusive, without having found one
that has taken the least notice of him. I had casually heard, some
years since, that he had fixed his residence in Somersetshire, and that
he had died there; which I find confirmed by a paragraph in the _Annual
Register_, vol. lxxvi. for 1834 (_Chronicle_), p. 218., which states
that he died 'near Bath,' in February, 1834. With such scanty
information on the required points, I would still refer G. L. S. to a
work entitled _The Georgian Aera_, in 4 vols., London, 1832; where he
will find, in vol. ii. p 475., a short _military_ memoir of
Lieut.-General Whitelocke, which is dispassionately and candidly
written, and which accounts very reasonably for the inauspicious result
of his military operations. There is one slight error in the account of
_The Georgian Aera_, viz. in the date of the {622} _first_ appointment
of Mr. Whitelocke to a commission in the army, which appears in the
_London Gazette_, No. 11938. of December 26, 1778, and ru
