- Curator's comments
- It is assumed that the departure from Ireland refers to the end of the Duke's viceroyalty. The 3rd Duke of Northumberland was appointed lord lieutenant of Ireland early 1829, and resigned with the rest of the Wellington government in November 1830, when he returned to Northumberland.
