Those present included: 120 Commodore V. G. Gurner, Hon. Mr. 115 H. E. Pollock, K.C., Mr. J. H. Kemp, 100 K.C., Mr. J. R. Wood, Mr. A. Dyer
90 Ball and Professor A. G. Warren, 80 Sir William Rees" Davies, Chief 75 Justice, who presided, said the lecture 70 was to be on one of the most 65 versatile characters
modern
60 history. Charles James Fox who 55 became one of the most distinguished 50 Ministers of the Crown was a member 45 of the House of Commons at nine- 40 teen; at twenty-one he became a 35 Minister. He was the most inveter- 30 ate gambler London had ever seen. 25 He lost a fortune at it, but subse- 20quently regained his position In the 15 House of Commons and in the eyes 10 of the world he died a popular hero...... 5 Mr. de Martin was, he was sure, 124,035 fully conversant with the life of Fox, 39,100 but it was to be hoped he had not 10280 fallen a victim to all his vices. 62,075 (Laughter.). 210,305 Mr. de Martin was a worthy ex- 123,680 ponent of the life of Fox, showing 32,125 him as one fighting for liberty 61,880 against the autocracy of his day. 68,335 He began with a .reference to the 110,595 Fox family, the first member of which 140345 had been a Royalist during the Civil 49,715 War and was a faithful Jacobite to 49,525 bis death.
