THE FIRST INTIMATION OF THE ILLNESS.
London, June 25. ,
Startling rumours concerning the health of the King were abroad at midday.
The first official intimation was Bishop Ingram, at Lord Esher's request, informing the clergy and choristers who were rehearsing at Westminster Abbey, and inviting all to join in the litany- from the Coronation service,1" and to pray for the King's recovery. At the close of the litany, the choir sang "God, our help in ages past."
St. James's Gazette states that the. King was unwell before starting on his visit to Aldershot on the 14th. His physicians attempted to dissuade Mm going, but he insisted, and his symptoms were aggravated. That night he"' had a slight fit, lasting several minutes.
