The Ladies Magazine; or Entertaining Companion for the Fair Sex, vol. 3, London, January 1772, page 47, column 1:
Saturday morning [January 30th], between one and two o'clock, after the mourners, &c. had retired from attending the body of Lord Baltimore, which lay in state at Exeter Exchange, a great mob assembled, broke into the room where the body lay, stripped it of the escutcheons, hangings, and every thing that was portable, and were preparing to throw the corpse and coffin out of the window, had they not been prevented by the piquet guard going to be relieved at the Savoy.
Saturday morning, at half past nine o'clock, the remains of the late Lord Baltimore (the last of his family) were carried from Exeter 'Change, in the Strand, to be interred in the family vault at Epsom, in order and manner following: -First, the body in a hearse, ornamented with escutcheons; then thirty-nine men on horseback, four of them bearing large standards, on which were painted his Lordship's arms; and those of the province of Maryland; after these, two more horsemen, one carrying the sword and armour, the other the helmet and gauntlet; next followed eight more horsemen, four on each side of the hearse, bearing the arms of the family of Calvert, impaled with Egerton his Lordship having married a sister of the current Duke of Bridgewater; nine mourning coaches and six succeeded, in the first of which sat a gentleman, bearing in his lap his Lordship's coronet, on a cushion of crimson velvet; an urn likewise covered with crimson velver, containing his Lordship's bowels, was placed on the seat before him. On the whole, the funeral was the grandest which has been seen for many years.
