(■=) He was a staunch supporter of Lord North both before and after he coalesced with Fox. He voted with the Whigs against Pitt's Regency Bill, but came over to him with Portland and Burke in 1794, and supported his war policy, being accord- ingly rewarded with a Peerage. After 1802 he followed the Grenvilles, was a strong pro-Catholic, and from about that time onward must again be classed as a Whig. J. H. Round points out that his chief distinction was the capture of the French force which landed in Fishguard Bay 22-24 Feb. 1797, and surrendered, without fighting, to him, when in command of the local troops.
