Mr. Clifford Lloyd, Director of Reforms in Egypt, 1883. Engraving from a photograph by Mr. Lafayette, of Dublin. 'This gentleman, who has gone to Egypt with the comprehensive title of "Director-General of Reforms," has recently done good service in Ireland. He is the eldest son of the late Colonel Robert Clifford Lloyd, of the 68th Light Infantry, and of his wife, Anna, daughter of the late Captain George Savage, 13th Light Dragoons, of Ballyloan, in the county of Down. Mr. Clifford Lloyd was born in 1845, and was educated at the Sandhurst Royal Military College; but having been offered an appointment of Assistant Commissioner in Burmah, he accepted it and went to that country. On his return to England, he was called to the Bar. The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Earl Spencer, appointed him Resident Magistrate in Belfast. His career in Ireland, before and since he was appointed one of the special magistrates in charge of a large district, is well known. His services in Ireland are pronounced by all loyal and thoughtful men to have rendered most valuable aid to Government in the repression of criminal conspiracies and outrages. Mr. Clifford Lloyd married, in 1872, Isabel, daughter of the late Captain Sabine Browne, of the Rifle Brigade'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
