GR^Yl TITLES DORMANT AND TITLES IN ABEYANCE 598 GREY of Rotherfield, Barony (writ 1338). — Possibly' this Barony is in abeyance, the heirs being : the Earl of Abingdon J ; Baroness Beaumont | ; Hon. Ivy Stapleton | ; the heir ^ of Joane Mussen- den. GREY de Wilton, or Grey de Shirland, Barony (writ 1295). — Heirs : the heirs J of Philip, 4th Lord Wharton (amongst whom C. T. H.

HAMILTON, Barony (Scot. 1445).— Heir : The Earl of Derby. HARRINGTON, Barony (writ 1324).— Fic/e Bonville. HARTFELL, Earl of (Scot.).— Dormant. HARTISMERE, Baron. — Lord Hemiiker undoubtedly sat in the House of Lords on a writ in his father's name in the Barony of Hartismere. The sitting was subseciuently expimged by order of the House of Lords. But the sitting under a wrong writ was equivalent to the sitting without a writ, and a sitting as a Peer in Parliament means the existence of a Hereditary Peerage. Unless there is a writ and a patent Kniiting the Peerage to heirs male, the Peerage is one in fee heritable by the heir general. The expunging of the sitting was ultra vires and of no effect, and unquestionably a new Barony was created.

KELLS in Ossory, Lord (Ireland). — This title is somewhat of a mystery and difficult to establish as a Parliamentary Peerage. It has devolved (as heir general) upon Viscount Gormanston. KENT, Earldom (1321). — Heirs : Identical with the heirs of the Barony of Holand (1353). KINCLEVEN, Barony (Scot. 1628). — Possibly a Barony which has descended to Lord Willoughby de Broke.
