The notice concludes concludes by saying that tho' 11 Lord Teynham does not rank high as a speaker in the Lords, whenever he does address the House, his speeches are characterized by sound sense and accurate information." lie was, however, a Confirmed gambler, alienating every acre of the Carson estates, which he had inherited, and being all the latter part of his life in pecuniary difficulties.
