Our obituary this week includes the names of Mr. Henry Fitzroy and Captain Robert Campbell, both remarkable men in their day, although comparatively unknown to the present generation. Mr. Fitzroy was at one time as regular a frequenter of every race meeting as his most intimate friend, Mr. George Payne, with whom, if I mistake not, he was confederate in many horses that carried the popular broad black and white stripes to victory a quarter of a century ago. His younger brother, “handsome George,” predeceased him several years, and was generally considered by his contemporaries the better whist player and judge of racing - nulli secundus, in fact, though he did not pursue the sport with such passionate ardour to so disastrous a finale as the subject of this brief notice.

The remains of the late Mr. Henry FitzRoy, of Salcey Lawn, the eldest son of the late Lord Henry FitzRoy, were yesterday interred in the churchyard of Little Easton, Essex. The ceremony was perfectly private, and the mourners were confined to his nearest relatives – Colonel Hugh FitzRoy, his only surviving brother; the Duke of Grafton, his cousin; the Earl of Rosslyn, his son-in-law; and Colonel Maude, C.B., his brother-in-law. The body was borne to the grave by eight of the labourers on the estates of Miss Maynard, his granddaughter, and many who attended uninvited took a sorrowful farewell of one whose friendship they valued and whose character they esteemed.

We regret to record the death of Mr. Henry Fitzroy, eldest son of the late Lord Henry Fitzroy, and father of the Countess of Rosslyn, which took place at his residence at Putney on Friday week. The deceased gentleman and his brother, Mr. George Fitzroy, were in former years strong supporters of John Scott’s stable, in the days when General Anson ruled the roast at Whitewall; and they were also staunch followers of Sir Joseph Hawley and Mr. Payne. Of late years the deceased gentleman has been in failing health, but he will be regretted by many friends, and not a single enemy, having from his youth up been popular with all classes.
