Anthony Wood consulted the records of the year mentioned, and found no trace of any such robbery.

We now approach a yet more famous ghost than Sir George's.

This is Lord Lyttelton's.

The ghost had a purpose, to warn that bad man of his death, but nobody knows whose ghost she was! LORD LYTTELTON'S GHOST "Sir," said Dr.Johnson, "it is the most extraordinary thing that has happened in my day." The doctor's day included the rising of 1745 and of the Wesleyans, the seizure of Canada, the Seven Years' War, the American Rebellion, the Cock Lane ghost, and other singular occurrences, but "the most extraordinary thing" was--Lord Lyttelton's ghost! Famous as is that spectre, nobody knows what it was, nor even whether there was any spectre at all.
Thomas, Lord Lyttelton, was born in 1744.

In 1768 he entered the House of Commons.
