Sir Henry Halford, in his Account, appended to his Essays and Orations, 1831, thus describes the examination of the palled coffin. "On representing the circumstance to the Prince Regent, his R. H. perceived at once that A DOUBTFUL POINT IN HISTORY MIGHT BE CLEARED UP BY OPENING THIS VAULT; and accordingly his R. H. ordered an examination to be made on the first convenient opportunity.
The Duke told the King he had told Sir H. Halford he would always find him intrepid with which the King was much pleased. He said when he saw a thing was necessary he always made up his mind to it. Wortley told me the Household betted the King would be at Ascot. By-the-bye, Wortley did very well last night in not allowing Wynne to lead him into a speech on the half-castes.
The quack, who declares on affidavit that, by using his pills and attending to his printed directions, hundreds who had been dismissed incurable from the hospitals have renewed their youth like the eagles, may, perhaps, think that Sir Henry Halford, when he feels the pulses of patients, inquires about their symptoms, and prescribes a different remedy to each, is unsettling the science of medicine for the sake of a fee.
Not till midday next day did he arrive at the Yard. A slip of paper was lying on his desk the record of a telephone message from the Southampton police. It read "Halford, Chief Constable, Southampton, to Foyle, C.I.D., London. "Car No. A.A. 4796 belongs to Mr. J. Price, The Grange, Lyndhurst. Mr. Price is an old resident in the neighbourhood and a man of means. The car is a six-cylinder Napier."
To Hanaford itself they were epoch-making; and if any rebellious spirit had cherished a doubt of the fact, it would have been quelled by the official majesty of Mr. Gaines's frock-coat and the comprehensive cordiality of his manner. There were moments when New York hung like a disquieting cloud on the social horizon of Mrs. Gaines and her daughters; but to Halford Gaines Hanaford was all in all.
The King signed the two messages, and then said 'the Duke has just caught me in time! and in an instant there was a gurgling in his throat. He seized Knighton's arm. The Duke ran for Halford, went out into the gallery where he did not find him, then into another room where he was. Halford immediately took a bottle from the table and gave the King something which seemed to relieve him.
Throughout this embarrassing interview, the lady Cary appears to have conducted herself with great temper, dignity and resolution, whilst, on the other hand, the chaplain of that day, whose opinions were not very favourable to the revolution, unlike his present amiable and enlightened successor , left his lady in the midst of her perplexities, and fled. Rev. John Halford.
"But don't you see, there has been a mistake, a horrible mistake?" I demanded. Doctor Halford, in his grave and quiet way, assisted himself to snuff. "Sir," he said, "knowing both families, I agreed to this haste and unceremoniousness, much against my will. Had there been no objection upon either side, I would have undertaken to go forward with the wedding ceremony.
When the body of Charles the First was examined, under the direction of Sir Henry Halford, in the presence of the Regent, afterwards George the Fourth, the face would have been recognized at once by all who were acquainted with Vandyke's portrait of the monarch, if the lithograph which comes attached to Sir Henry's memoir is an accurate representation of what they found.
On the other hand, from Galen down to Sir Henry Halford, there is high medical authority for the important fact that self-control acquired in health may be successfully exercised to subdue every external sign, at least, of the irritation and depression often considered inevitably attendant on many peculiar maladies.
