Transcriptions of Contemporaneous Obituaries of Pownoll

1. DIED.

Monday last, in London, of scarlet fever, after a very short illness, in the 48th year of his age, the Right Hon. Pownall Bastard Pellew, and Viscount ExmoutH, of Canonteign, in the county of Devon, Captain in the Royal Navy, and one of his Majesty's Naval Aides de Camp. His Lordship for many years represented Launceston, the principal town of his native county in Parliament, but resigned his seat, in 1829, in consequence of his unbending adherence to Protestant Principles.

He succeeded to the title and estates of his heroic Father only in the beginning of the same year in which he has been thus prematurely snatched away in the vigor of manhood, and full career of utility, leaving a widow, and six children, five of them to mourn a husband and a parent.

His Lordship is succeeded by his eldest son Edward, now in India, in the civil service of the Company.

- Lord make me to know mine end and the measure of my, days what it is; that I may know how Frail I am.^[1]
