He was unpopular and sometimes wanting in temper and judgment. He had painful and discreditable quarrels, the most damaging of which was the Court Martial 00 a member of his btaff, against whom he brought a string of charges of peculation and falsifying accounts, not one of which, after most patient investigation, could be substantiated or justified, [Nat. Biogr. where his character drawn by Mulleaon is quoted, who, inter alia, Btates that] " He was not and could not become a great soldier ; possessing undoubted personal courage, he was not a General at all, except in name," adding that his " haughty and innate reserve shank from reliance on anyone but himself." ( b ) She "took a prominent part as a member of the Women's Liberal Federation in the agitation in favour of Home Rule and other measures advocated by Mr. Gladstone." [Nat. Biogr.] ( c ) The well-known Samuel Pepys, the diarist, was great nephew of this lady, being grandson of her brother, Thomas, wdiich accounts for the keen interest he took iu hiacouBin Sandwich's proceedings. Paulina had two brothers each named Thomas, the elder one being called " The Black " and the younger " The Red." Both are raid in the visitation of Cambridgeshire of 1681 to have died num., but both certainly had children as appears from the statement of another brother named Apollo, who also mentions Iveziii, as widow of the younger. Children of Thomas aud Mary, and of Thomas (possibly the same Thomas) and Keziah are bap. at Impington. The baptism there, M Jan. 1000, of "John Pepes, the sone of Mr. Thomas aud Mary " is, doubt- hss, " 1600/1," and refers to the father of the Diarist, who states (entry after 31 Dec. MM), that his father John was born U Jan. 1601. [Ex. inform. W. A. Lindsay Wtafcor Herald]. E
