When the Whigs came into office under Lord Grey, in December 1830, Lord Carlisle, though he accepted no place in that ministry, took a seat in the cabinet, but did not long continue to hold that unusual mark of royal and ministerial confidence, for his Lordship withdrew altogether from public life in 1834. Although at that time not much more than 60 years of age, yet it became evident that he was falling into the decrepitude of age. Thenceforward he resided principally in the country, his name ceased to be mentioned in poiltical circles, and at length he sank into the grave, doubtless as much beloved by his family and personal friends as he was respected by his political associates.
