_Lord Carrington or Karinthon_ (No. 27. p. 440.).--The nobleman about
whom "C." inquires, was Sir Charles Smith, created an English baron 19
Charles I., by the title of Lord Carrington, and afterwards advanced to
the dignity of an Irish Viscount under the same name. These honours were
conferred upon him for his services to the King in the time of his
majesty's great distresses.

On the 20th Feb., 1655, whilst travelling in France, Lord Carrington was
barbarously murdered by one of his servants for the sake of his money
and jewels, and buried at Pontoise. (Bankes' _Dormant and Extinct
Peerage_, vol. iii. p. 155.) The title became extinct circiter 1705.
