Edinburgh Evening Courant, 8/10/1869
We regret to have to announce in our obituary column to-day
the sudden death of Lord Manor, which took place at his residence in Edinburgh
yesterday morning. His Lordship has been in feeble health for several week's
past, "but no immediate danger was apprehended in regard to him. He was present
at the installation of the rector of the Edinburgh Academy on Monday, and on
Wednesday he had a walk with his son, but, beyond feeling, a little fatigued
with the exorcise, did not manifest any unusual symptoms of illness. He retired
to his bedroom in the evening, and when his servant entered it yesterday morning
his Lordship was found to have died in the course of the might. He was lying in
bed with a book by his side, and the gas burning-his death evidently having
taken place while he was engaged in reading. Dr Andrew Wood, the physician of
the family, was called in, but medical aid was of no avail, His Lordship had
evidently boon dead for some hours. His death is supposed to have boon caused by
heart disease. His Lordship was about sixty-six or sixty-seven years of ago. He
was the son of Mr Dundas, a writer to the signet, and proprietor of Ochtertyre.
He has left two brothers surviving him-Mr John Dundas, one of the partners of
the well-known firm of Dundas & Wilson, writers to the signet, and Sir David
Dundas, now in England. Sir David was older than Lord Manor. He was at one time
member of Parliament for Sutherlandshire, but resigned the office to make way
for a relation of the Duke of Sutherland. Sir David was for some time Judge
Advocate, and afterwards Solicitor-General in England. Manor was called to the
Bar in 1826. Several of his colleagues, still sitting both in the Supreme Bench
and in the Sheriff Court, preceded him in this respect. |
