Wliereas King Charles II, by his letters patent bearing date the 21st day of June, 1660, conferred the rank, style, and title of a Baronet upon Solomon Swale, of Swale Hall and South Stainley, in the county of York, Esquire, M.P. in consideration of his great sufferings for his loyalty to King Charles I. and having in his place in Parliament proposed the restoration of the said King Charles II. to hold to the said Solomon Swale and the heirs male lawfully begotten of his body for ever. And whereas the said Sir Solomon Swale, Baronet, had amongst other children la'fully begotten of his body two sons, namely, Henry Swale and Robert Swale, and whereas upon the death of Sir Sebastian Swale, the 4th Baronet, all the issue male law- fully begotten of the body of the said Henry Swale, eldest sou of the said Sir Solomon Swale, Baronet, aforesaid, became and was entirely extinct and ended. And whereas I, who have hitherto been known as the Reverend John Swale, O.S.B. of Pirtley, in the county of Durham, am the son and heir male of William Swale, son and heir of William Swale, son and heir of William Swale, son and heir of William Swale, son and heir of the said Robert Swale, second son of the said Sir Solomon Swale, Bart, as aforesaid, and by virtue of my said lineage as aforesaid I am the heir male lawfully begotten of the body of the said Sir Solomon Swale, so created a Baronet as aforesaid, and as such I am lawfully entitled to the said rank, style, and title of a Baronet, under the said limitations of the same letters patent by which the said title was created as aforesaid , and which is fully set forth in a pedigree compiled by the celebrated genealogist James Phillippe, and enrolled in Her Majesty's High Court of Chancery on the 2nd day of Mar. 1877. And whereas I consider it a sacred duty, which I owe to the memory of my ancestors, and for the futiu-e benefit and welfare of my family, to assume and take unto myself and tlie heirs male of the bodj- of the said Sir Solomon Swale, Bart, lawfully begotten of liis body, the said title of a Baronet. Now be it known to all whom these presents may concern, that I. the said John Swale, have assumed the said Baronetcy, anil will hereafter be known only as the Reverend Sir .Tolin Swale, Baronet, O.S.B. at present of Birtley aforesaid.

TEMPLE, (Sir) Grenville Louis John, great- great-grandson of (Sir) John Temple, who in 1786 asfsumed the Baronetcy conferred upon Sir Thomas Temple, of Stowe, Bucks. 29 June, 1611. This (Sir) John bp. at Boston, U.S. 16 April, 1732 (son of Thomas Temple, of Ireland, and grandson of Col.
