Funeral of the Earl of Errol — On Monday the remains of the late Earl of Errol were removed from the family mansion in Portman-square to the village of Wimbledon, Surrey, for interment. The cavalcade consisted of hearse and six horses, and eight mourning coaches and four, the horses and hearse decorated in the usual manner, and preceded a plume of feathers and mute. The procession started from Portman-square at eight o'clock, and arrived at Wimbledon church at half-past ten o'clock, where it was met by the Rev. C. Wodehouse, who had been appointed by the family to read the service. Wimbledon was filled with visitors, and a great number of gentry were present from Richmond, where his late lordship had a seat, and was universally beloved. Amongst the mourners were the present Earl of Errol, the widowed Countess and her three daughters, Viscountess Campden, Lady Agnes Duff, and Lady Alice Hay, as also the late Earl's sisters, Lady Isabella Wemyss and Lady Mary Fox. There were also present the Earl of Munster, Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, the Rev. Lord Augustus Fitzclarence, Lord Frederick Gordon and Lord De Lisle. The coffin was covered with crimson Genoa velvet, and the plate is the following inscription:—" William George A. Carr, Earl of Erroll, Baron Hay of Scotland, Baron Kilmarnock of Kilmarnock county, Ayr, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, Hereditary Lord High Constable and Knight Mareschal of Scotland, K.T., G.C.H., B. C. Lord Lieutenant of Aberdeenshire. Born 21st of February, 1801, died the 19th of April, 1846." The deceased nobleman's remains were committed the family vault in the rural churchyard shortly after 11 o'clock, amidst profound silence from assembled hundreds.
He became heir apparent to the earldom in 1815 on the death of his elder brother, Lord Hay, who was killed during the Waterloo Campaign.
