Volunteer review before her Majesty the Queen in the Great Park. On the

--Died at Ipswich, Mr. John Worlledge, Chancellor of the Diocese of
Norwich, and for twenty-four years Judge of the Suffolk County Court
circuit. Mr. Worlledge, who was in his 72nd year, was a son of Mr. John
Worlledge, of Chevington, and was educated at Felstead Grammar School and
Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated fourth wrangler in 1831.

26.--Died at Oulton, Mr. George Thomas Borrow, author of "The Bible in
Spain," "Lavengro," and other works. "The deceased was in his usual
health up to the afternoon of the 25th, when he complained of feeling
unwell, and was assisted to bed. On the following morning he was found
dead in bed." The writer of the obituary notice, after stating that
Borrow was a son of Captain Borrow, Adjutant of the West Norfolk Militia,
and was born at East Dereham in 1803, records several more or less
familiar incidents in his career, and concludes a summary of his literary
work with the remark: "His most important book was 'Romano Lavo-Lil,' a
vocabulary of the English gipsy language, which represents the labour of
many years, and was published in 1874."
