BARON l>iiiiiiun locum et ductionem prima: aciei et gerendi corouam in omnibus nostris Parliamentis." This charter was confirmed by Pari, in 1606 (Acts of Part iv, 311), aud iu virtue of it " the Earls of Angus obtained by the decreet of ranking in that year, the precedence of all the Earls, and sat in Pari, accordingly." See " Riddell," p. Kit). In 1611, however, the " Bar " of 1602 became Earl, and in 1633, he, by arrangement, resigned (ut supra) these privileges, the resignation being duly registered six days later (Acts of Pari, v, 10). Notwithstanding this, it was subsequently endeavoured by the family to repudiate the resignation, on the ground that the Resigner was only a liferenter, the "comitatus " having been at the time (under a charter of 1631) in his son in fee; consequently, on the hypothesis that the original precedence was not only over Enrls, but over all Peers, the Marquesses of Douglas (as Earls of Angus ) persistently protested their right to " the first seatt aud vote in Pari." from the restoration (1660) to the eve of the Union, 16 Jan. 1707. M The claim of the Earldom of Angus [S.], by petition of Archibald Douglas, formerly Stewart, only s. of Sir John Stewart of Graudtully, Bart. [&], by " the deceased Lady Jean Douglas, only sister of Archibald, Duke of Douglas aud Earl of Angus [S.], lately deceased," was presented, with the King's reference thereof, to the House 22 March 1762. It was founded on an appointment, stated to have been made 28 Oct. 1699, by the then Marquess of Douglas and Earl of Angus (by virtue of a charter 24 Juue 1098) that, failing heirs male of his own body, the Earldom should be inherited by " the eldest h. female of the body of his s., Lord Angus, and the heirs wliatsomever of the body of the said eldest h. female of the Marquis' own body." Una is stated to have been confirmed by charter signed by Queen Anne on the 10th, and ratified by Pari. 25 March 1707. See "Robertson," p. 309. The whole matter was referred to the Lords' Committee for privileges, but no further steps appear to have taken and the Earldom (under the regrant of 1547) passed to the h. male. By decision of the House of Lords, 27 Feb. 1769, the petitioner was found h. a " d was <••'•■ a Poor.
