  • House of Lords Bill: 'Stage One' Issues Bill 34 of 1998-99
    RESEARCH PAPER 99/5 The House of Lords Bill: 28 JANUARY 1999 'Stage One' Issues Bill 34 of 1998-99 The House of Lords Bill is due to have its second reading debate on 1-2 February. This Paper is one of a series which provides Members with briefing on the Bill, and on the wider issues surrounding Lords reform. This Paper deals directly with the Bill itself and the proposals for the ‘transitional’ House of Lords ('stage one'). Research Paper 99/6 focuses on options for longer-term Lords reform, including the proposed Royal Commission ('stage two'), and Research Paper 99/7 concentrates on the place of Lords reform within the present Government’s extensive programme of constitutional change. Developments in the run-up to, and since the 1997 general election are summarised in Research Papers 97/28, 98/85 and 98/105, and, generally, are not reproduced in the present series of Papers. Research Paper 98/104 and the Appendix to this Paper provide relevant statistics on the House of Lords and its membership, and Research Paper 98/103 examines the legislative role of the House. The House of Lords Information Office and Library both provide a range of relevant information (including the history of previous attempts at reform) in the form of Papers and on the Parliament website.

The Queen of the Fairies had commuted the death sentence to banishment for life—on condition that lolanthe must leave her husband without explanation and never see him again. Her son Strephon has grown up as a shepherd, half fairy, half mortal. Strephon loves Phyllis, a shepherdess who is also a ward in Chancery; she returns his love, and knows nothing of his mixed origin.

  • “Harry the Ninth (The Uncrowned King of Scotland)”
    “Harry the Ninth (The Uncrowned King of Scotland)” Henry Dundas and the Politics of Self-Interest, 1790-1802 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in History. Sam Gribble 307167623 University of Sydney October 2012 Abstract The career of Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville underscores the importance of individual self-interest in British public life during the 1790-1802 Revolutionary Wars with France. Examining the political intrigue surrounding Dundas’ 1806 impeachment, the manner in which he established his political power, and contemporary critiques of self-interest, this thesis both complicates and adds nuance to understandings of the political culture of ‘Old Corruption’ in the late-Georgian era. As this thesis demonstrates, despite the wealth of opportunities for personal enrichment, individual self-interest was not always focused on obtaining sinecures and financial windfalls. Instead, men like Henry Dundas were primarily focused upon amassing their own political power. In the inherently chaotic politics of the period, the self-seeking concerns of individuals like Henry Dundas, very quickly could, and indeed did, become the thread upon which the whole British political system turned. 2 Acknowledgments My thanks go first and foremost my supervisor, Dr Kit Candlin. His guidance, advice and expertise were vital in devising and writing this thesis, as was his unerring ability to ensure that I came away from our meetings enthusiastic about the task at hand. I would also like to thank Professor Robert Aldrich and Dr Lyn Olsen for their research seminars, both of which made me a better student and historian.

  • Robert Jocelyn 2Nd Earl of Roden, 3Rd Baron Newport, 6Th Baronet of Hyde Hall (1756 – 1820)
    Robert Jocelyn 2nd Earl of Roden, 3rd Baron Newport, 6th Baronet of Hyde Hall (1756 – 1820) Rebellion in Ireland and Hyde Hall internally altered This article is the sixth in my series of ‘follow-ups’ to my earlier article of November 2018 entitled ‘Hyde Hall/Great Hyde Hall’, in which I have been writing about the residents and owners of Hyde Hall, especially the Jocelyn family. Robert Jocelyn was the eldest son of Robert Jocelyn, the 1st Earl of Roden (who was the subject of an earlier article dated January 2019) and his wife Anne (Hamilton). Robert was born on 19 October 1756 (some records give the date as 26 October) and was baptised on 10 December that year at Dundalk in Ireland. In 1776, Robert entered Irish politics and became the MP for Mayoborough, a position he held until 1778. After this, Robert became the MP for Dundalk from 1783 until 1797, both seats being in the Irish House of Commons. Robert also became in 1796 the Auditor General of the Irish Exchequer, a position he held until his death in 1820. Additionally, Robert took a seat in the House of Lords at Westminster from 1800 until his death in 1820, as an Irish Representative Peer and was an Irish Privy Councillor. On 5 February 1788, Robert married Frances Theodosia Bligh, who was the daughter of a senior Irish churchman at St. Andrew’s church near Dundalk. They had six children together, four sons and two daughters. Frances died on 22 May 1802 at Hyde Hall and is buried at Great St.

Preface In this list cadet, associated, and stem families are arranged in a single entry when substantial property passed between one and the other providing continuity of parliamentary representation (even, as was the case in a few instances, when no blood or marriage relationship existed). Subsidiary/cadet families are usually grouped under the oldest, richest, or most influential stem family. Female MPs are counted with their birth families, or, if not born into a parliamentary family, with their husband’s family.

  • Clan PRIMROSE
    Clan PRIMROSE ARMS Quarterly, 1st & 4th, Vert, three primroses within a double tressure flowered and counterflowered Or (Primrose); 2nd & 3rd, Argent, a lion rampant double queued Sable (Cressy) CREST A demi-lion rampant Gules holding in his dexter paw a primrose Or MOTTO (On an Escrol below the Shield, on which the Supporters are placed) Fide et fiducia (By faith and trust) SUPPORTERS Two lions rampant Or This name is taken from the lands of Primrose in the parish of Dunnfermline. It has been suggested that it came originally from the Old British, ‘prenn rhos’ meaning ‘tree of the moor’. The Primroses were sell settled in Fife, and particularly around the Abby of Culross, by the fifteenth century. Henry Primrose, who was believed to be born sometime prior to 1490, had four sons and one daughter. Gilbert, his grandson, was one of the Ministers of the reformed church in London. He was appointed Chaplain to James VI and Charles I, and became Dean of Windsor in 1628. Another grandson, James Primrose, was Clerk of the Privy Council in Scotland. When James Primsrose died in 1641, he was succeeded in the office of Clerk to the Privy Council by his eldest son by his second marriage, Archibald. A staunch royalist, Archibald Primrose rallied to the banner of the Marquess of Montrose after his victory at the Battle of Kilsyth. He was the king’s lieutenant at Philiphaugh, where he was captured when the royal army was surprised by a strong force of cavalry. He was tried and found guilty of treason, and although his life was spared on the orders of Argyll, he was held in prison until Montrose was ordered by Charles I to disband his army and leave the kingdom.

  • The Origin of the Office of Chairman of Committees in the House of Lords House of Lords Record Office
    House of Lords Record OfficeThe Origin of the Office of Chairman of Committees in the House of Lords House of Lords Record Office The Origin of the Office of Chairman of Committees in the House of Lords The office of Chairman of Committees in the House of Lords is one of considerable significance in the administrative structure of Parliament. Its history is of interest both on its own account and also because the chairman attained a position of influence and authority, particularly in the field of private legislation, at a much earlier date than his counterpart in the House of Commons, the Chairman of Ways and Means.1 The post first received official sanction in 1800 when its basic duties were defined in resolutions of the House. Thereafter the Chairman of Committees was appointed on a sessional basis and, once appointed, automatically took the chair in all committees unless the House ordered otherwise.2 However, although the events of 1800 were important, they should not be allowed to obscure the fact that the post had a previous semi-official existence dating to the earlier part of the eighteenth century. Some light was thrown on this earlier history by Edmund Gosse, then librarian of the House, who summarised the results of his researches in a letter to The Times in 1911. This letter was reprinted by F. H. Spencer as an appendix to his book Municipal Origins in which he discussed the role of the Chairman of Committees in the supervision of private legislation.3 Spencer evidently accepted Gosse's conclusions without question.

  • Erskine May, Chapter V, Pp. 281-290 Present State of the Peerage (1860)
    Next Contents Previous Erskine May, Chapter V, pp. 281-290 Present State of the Peerage (1860) Increase since 1760 Since the union, further additions have continually been made to the Peerage of the United Kingdom; and an analysis of the existing peerage presents some singular results. In [282] 1860, the House of Lords consisted of four hundred and sixty lords, spiritual and temporal. The number of hereditary peers of the United Kingdom had risen to three hundred and eighty- five, exclusive of the peers of the blood royal. Of these peerages, one hundred and twenty- eight were created in the long reign of George III.;(1) forty-two in the reign of George IV.;(2) and one hundred and seventeen since the accession of William IV.(3) Thus two hundred and eighty-seven peerages were created, or raised to their present rank, since the accession of George III; or very nearly three-fourths of the entire number. But this increase is exhibited by the existing peerage alone,—notwithstanding the extinction or merger of numerous titles, in the interval. The actual number of creations during the reign of George III. amounted to three hundred and eighty-eight; or more than the entire present number of the peerage.(4) No more than ninety-eight of the peerages existing in 1860 could claim an earlier creation than the reign of George III.: but this fact is an imperfect criterion of the antiquity of the peerage. When the possessor of an ancient dignity [283] is promoted to a higher grade in the peerage, his lesser dignity becomes merged in the greater, but more recent title.
