_Tenth (or the Prince of Wales's Own) Regiment of (Light) Dragoons_ (Vol. viii., p. 538.; Vol. ix., p. 19.).--The monarch of this realm reviewing a regiment, of which the heir apparent was not only Colonel, but took the command, and directed all the military evolutions on the occasion, was such a particular event as to merit being commemorated by the splendid picture at Hampton Court Palace. Your correspondent [Phi]., who desires to be informed on what particular day that review took place, will find that it was on Thursday, Aug. 15, 1799. In the daily paper, _The True Briton_, of Aug. 16, 1799, he will find some details, of which the following is an abridgment:
"The Prince of Wales's regiment (the 10th Light Dragoons) was yesterday reviewed by his Majesty on Winkfield Plain. The troops practised their manoeuvres through Cranbourne Woods, &c. His Royal Highness gave the word of command to his regiment, and wore in his military helmet 'an oak bough.' The Prince of Wales gave an entertainment afterwards to the officers at the Bush Inn, at Staines."
The general officers in attendance upon his Majesty, and represented in the picture, were the Commander-in-Chief, Field-Marshal H. R. H. the { 86} Duke of York, K.G. and K.B., Colonel 2nd Foot Guards; Lieut.-Gen. and Adjutant-Gen. Sir Wm. Fawcett, K.B., 3rd Dragoon Guards; Lieut.-Gen. David Dundas, Quarter-master-General, 7th Light Dragoons; Major-Gen. Goldsworthy, First Equerry, 1st Royal Dragoons.
_Lewis and Sewell Families_ (Vol. viii., pp. 388. 521.).--C. H. F. will find M. G. Lewis's ancestors, his family mausoleum, the tomb of his maternal grandfather, &c., incidentally mentioned in "M. G. Lewis's Negro Life in the West Indies," No. 16. of Murray's _Home and Colonial Library_, 1845. The pedigrees of the Shedden and Lushington family would probably afford him some information upon the subject of his Query.
The Right Hon. Sir Thos. Sewell's second wife was a Miss Sibthorp, daughter of Coningsby Sibthorp of Canwick, Lincolnshire. By her he had one child, which died young. The Rev. George Sewell, William Luther Sewell, Robert Sewell, Attorney-General of Jamaica, and Lieut.-Col. Thomas Bailey Heath Sewell, were sons of the Right Hon. Sir Thos. Sewell by his first wife. Thomas Bermingham Daly Henry Sewell, son of the above Lieut.-Col. Thomas Bailey Heath Sewell, died March 20, 1852, æt. seventy-eight; and was buried in Harold's Cross Cemetery, near Dublin. Two daughters, the Duchess de Melfort, and Mrs. Richards, wife of the Rev. Solomon Richards, still survive him.
