Anne, suo jure Baroness Sf.mpill [S.], was or. 5 July I. 1685, 1685, LORD GLASSFORD [S.], for the teim of his life.(«) By to charter 16 May 1688, not only the estates, but the " dignity of Lord 1703. Sempill were confirmed " to the longest liver of them in liferent," with divers remainders, but, after the death in 1695, of his said wife (of whom see a fuller account under " Sempill "Barony rs.], a: 1495), he appears to have been known (only), as Lord GLASSFORD. He m. secondly (Lie. from Bp. of London, 27 March 1699, he aged 45, and she 44), Christabella, widow of Sir Giles Eybe, one of the judges of the King's Bench. From him, he being " a Scotch Papist, she withdrew in 1699, leaving him a prisoner for debt in the Fleet, where he d. in Nov. 1703."( b ) He was bur. 23 Nov. 1703, at St. Bride's, Fleet street. At his death his life peerage became, of course, extinct. His widow was bur. at Whiteparish, Wilts, with her first husband. Her will pr. Feb. 1710/1. ( a ) This was not an unusual practise in the case of the husband of a Scotch Peeress, c.i/., William Douglas, husband of the suo jure Duchess of Hamilton was cr. in 1660, Duke of Hamilton. Walter Scott, husband of the suo jure. Countess of Buccleuch [S.] was cr, (also in 1660), Earl of Tarras [S.] ; James Wemyss, husband of the suo jure, Countess of Wemyss, was a: in 1 672, Lord Burntisland ; and Francis Abercromby, husband of the suo jure Baroness Sempill was cr. in 1685, Lord Glassford, all 4 recipients being so cr. for life only. This practise was " evidently resorted to, upon the decline of the territorial principle when the application of the courtesy to honours, in consequence of English example, began to be questioned." See "JUddell." p. 110. ( b ) Foss's "Judges" sub "Eyre." In Le Neve's " Kiiirjhts" the Lady is said to have "eloped" from Lord Glassford.
