 efforts for the relief of Cawnpore and Lucknow filled all Europe with his fame. For his heroic services in this campaign he was made a Knight Companion of the Bath, and a Baronet, but he did not live to enjoy these honours. His exertions had destroyed his health, and he died of dysentery at Lucknow 24 Nov. 1857. Memoirs of Sir Henry Havelock have been written by J. C. Marshman, J. T. Headly [sic], W. Brock, W. Owen, and J. P. Grant, and he has himself left A Narrative of the War in Affghanistan [sic]. 1837-9. 2 vols. 8vo. London (1840).

Admitted 24 February, 1593-4.

Second son of William Hawkins of Plymouth. This is the celebrated naval commander, the companion of Drake (q. v.), and Frobisher (q. v.), and his admission to the Inn was, no doubt, like theirs, causâ honoris. He is described on the Register as "John Hawkines, Knight," admitted specially by Mr. Cavell, the Reader, and the event occurred after his return from harassing the coasts of Spain with Frobisher. He was then in his sixty-first year, having been born at Plymouth in 1532. His achievements are too numerous to recount, but he is best known as one of the joint Commanders of the Fleet against the Spanish Armada in 1588. He sat in Parliament for his native town, and in 1573 held the office of Secretary to the Navy. He died in Dominica 12 Nov. 1595, and was buried at sea; but a monument was erected to his memory in the church of St. Dunstan's-in-the-East, which perished in the great fire. The inscription, however, is preserved by Stow. He founded a hospital for disabled seamen, known as the "Chest of Chatham," the original of Greenwich Hospital.

Admitted 16 March, 1608-9.

Son of Sir James Hay of Kingask. He was born at Pitscorthy, in Fifeshire. He is described in the Register as "Jacobus Hayes, Dñs. Hayes, unus generosorum Cameras Regis." In 1615 he was created a Peer of the Realm under the title of Lord Hay of Sawley in the county of York. Three years later he was made Viscount Doncaster, and in 1622 advanced to the Earldom of Carlisle. He was employed in many weighty matters of State, and was twice sent as Ambassador to France. In private life he was noted for his extravagance. At his death his debts amounted to £80,000, and during his life is said to have spent £400,000, and " left not a house or an acre of land to be remembered by."

Admitted 24 May, 1715.

The parentage is not given in the Register, but he was probably the second son of William Hay, M.P., of Glyndebourne, Sussex, where he was born 21 August, 1695. He entered the Middle Temple from Lincoln's Inn. In 1734 he entered Parliament as a supporter of Sir Robert Walpole, and was rewarded with the post of Commissioner of the Victualling Office, and afterwards of Keeper of the Records in the Tower. He died in 1755.

He was the author of the following works and essays: Civil Government (1728); Mount Caburn, a Poem. (1730); Poor Laws (1735); Religio Philosophi
