at Whitehall; but these appointments did not compel him to leave Oxford, and he resided in college until his marriage at Charlton Kings, Gloucestershire, in December 1823, to Miss White. Kett was vain and subject to fits of depression. He was found drowned at Stanwell, Middlesex, on 30 June 1825. His widow married at St. James's, Piccadilly, on 28 November 1828, the Rev. Thomas Nicholl. Kett gave to his college, in addition to large subscriptions to various buildings and some plate, portraits of William Pope, earl of Downe, and the first earl of Chatham. The bulk of his fortune, about £25,000, was left after his widow's death to three public charities, one being the Radcliffe Infirmary at Oxford.

It was defended, probably by Kett himself in the disguise of 'S. Nobody, of King's College, Oxford,' in The Biter Bit, or Discoveries Discovered in a Pamphlet of certain Notable Discoveries, 1804; and by Frederick Nolan of Exeter College, in A Letter to Phileleutheros Orielensis, 1804, upholding the view that Kett's errors were due to carelessness rather than ignorance.
