With part of the immense for- tune which he gained from his proprietorship of that famous gambling haunt, Crockford bought a residence in Carlton House Ter- race. There he died in 1844.
For twelve years, until he re- tired in 1840, he had been bound. by agreement with his committee to put up a bank of £5,000 at the hazard-table every night "during. the sitting of Parliament.”
The strain of the heavy play told upon him, but even after his retirement he continued to gam- ble and speculate.
I do not imagine that there a ever auch high play in the present club revived in 1929, as in the ori- ginal St. James's-street resort.
