THE LATE SIR F. CLIFTON.
Sir Francis Clifton, whose death occurred at the close of last week at the residence of his brother, Silverdale, Putney, at the age of 79, was the eldest son of the late Mr Marshall Waller Clifton, F.R.S., many years a Magistrate for the colony of Western Australia, and a member of the Legislative Council there. He was born in 1812, and was educated at Westminster, having been, while very young, a schoolfellow of Mr Gladstone at a private school in the suburbs of London. He succeeded to the title (which dates from 1611) on the death of his kinsman, Sir Theodore Clifton, in 1880. Sir Francis was twice married; firstly to Eleanor Louisa, daughter of Major John Martin, and secondly to Marion Fergus, daughter of Mr Alexander Manson, of Paisley, Renfrewshire.
