Major Alexander Henry Ross, M.P. for Maidstone, died suddenly yesterday afternoon at his residence, 9, Upper Berkeley-street, Portman-square, from heart disease. It appears that Major Ross had been unwell for some time, and in order to improve his health had decided to go to the south of France. He was a son of the late Mr. Charles Ross, who represented St. Germans from 1826 to 1832, and Northampton from 1832 to 1837, by marriage with Lady mary, daughter of the last marquis Cornwallis. he was born in London in 1829, and was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford. he graduated M.A. in 1851, and was called to the Bar at the Inner Temple in 1854. He unsuccessfully contested the maidstone in the Conservative interest in 1874, but was returned for that constituency in 1880. In 1859 he married the daughter of Mr. Wiliam Moseley, of Leatfon-hall, Stafford. He served 20 years in the West Kent militia, from which he retired as major; was for many years a member of the Metropolitan Asylums Board; and was also a Justice fo the Peace for Middlesex.
