(») It is to be observed that the Earldom of Handy was not presumed to be destined to the same line of heirs as those of the Marquisate ; it was. therefore, not allowed, 21 June 1S38. Recent enquiries .»hew that the charters immediately proceeding the Marquisate are hi favour of hiirs vJuiteoever and that then was no resignation of the Earldom when the Marquisate was created. This would give the Earldom to his Grace, the Dnke of Richmond, Lennox, and Gordon, as heir of line." Maidment's Collect. Gen., No. 51.] See, however, p. 298. note "e." i 11 ) The Earldom of Enzie and Barony of Gordon of Badenoch were (tho' claimed) not included with the Marquessai e in the allowance of that title, 21 June 1838, altho' (apparently) they had been cr. therewith 17 April 1699.
