(failing heirs male of the body) to collaterals. They appear to be, chronologically, as follows : 1711. Robert Barley, the celebrated .Minister, cr. Earl of Oxford. Extinct 1S53. Henry St. John, (yet more celebrated), «r. Viscount Bolingbroke. Sir Diehard Onslow, Dart., sometime Speaker, cr. Baron Onslow. James Stanhope, a leading statesman, cr. Viscount Stanhope of Mahon. David Graham, sti/lcd Marquess of Graham, s. and h. ap. of James, Duke of Montrose [S.] cr. Earl Graham. [This, no doubt, was to give a hereditary seat in the House of Lords to those Dukes, Which, according to the improper resolutions of 1711 and 1719, not upset till 1782, could not have been effected by conferring a Peerage [G.D.] on an actual Peer of Scotland. 1 Robert Walpole, s. and h. ap. of the great Minister (Sir Robert Walpole, ICG.) cr. Huron Walpole, Thomas V'illiers, cr. Damn Hyde, with spec. rem. of the Barony failing his heirs male of the body by his then wife Charlotte (heiress of the Hyde family) to the said Charlotte and the heirs male of Iter body. John Campbell, stilled Marquess of Lorn, s. and h. ap. of John, Doke of Argyll [S.] Baton Suudridge. [This creation was doubtless for a similar reason as that of the Marquessate of Graham.
