In the autumn of 181 5 she retired from the stage and went to France; and in July, 1816, she died at Saint-Cloud, aged fifty- four. Toward the end she seemed to be in need of funds, and her total estate was valued at less than 300 pounds. When the news of her death, in apparent poverty, became public, a hue-and-cry of criticism was raised against the Duke of Clarence, and the subsequent scandal went on for about twenty years, bringing him to the throne as William IV (1830) in no fa- vourable li...ght. He was defended against the charge of ingratitude, of course; his own private secretary, an official of the mint, undertook to prove to the nation that his settlement upon Mrs. Jordan and her children was 2,300 pounds per annum, and that it would have been 4,400 pounds if she had not continued on the stage; also, that she had signed in 285 Great Love Stories of the Theatre blank, for a member of her family (presumably Al- sop), certain notes which had been treacherously filled out for huge sums, the payment of which had exhausted her resources.
