This Lent Term has seen a succession of highly successful talks with unusually high levels of attendance. The dedication of some of our members is enormous: at a recent meeting, people had travelled from as far a field as Loughborough, Bury St Edmunds, Guildford and Brighton, and the Annual Dinner will see attendance from throughout the United Kingdom and beyond. Next term brings with it the Annual General Meeting on Saturday, 2 nd May, 1998. The Agenda and official notification are supplied in this issue of The Escutcheon, and I invite members to submit any points for discussion either in advance or at the meeting. Several posts on the Committee will become vacant this year, and I warmly invite nominations for the posts of President, Secretary and Junior Treasurer, as well as for University and Town Committee members .

  • The Earl Marshal, the Heralds, and the House of Commons, 1604–1641
    P. H. HARDACRE THE EARL MARSHAL, THE HERALDS, AND THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, 1604-16411 The successful reassertion of the authority of the Court of the Earl Marshal, in the recent case of the Corporation of Manchester vs. The Manchester Palace of Varieties, Ltd., has renewed interest in this ancient institution. The court ruled that The Manchester Palace of Varieties had wrongly displayed the heraldic arms of the Corporation, contrary to the laws and customs of arms, and that the court itself, which had last sat in 1751 and which Blackstone described as having fallen into contempt and disuse, was still empowered to give relief to those who thought themselves aggrieved in such matters.2 A full account of the Court of the Earl Marshal is much to be de- sired.3 It cannot be attempted in the space of this paper, but one period 1 The author gratefully acknowledges a summer fellowship at the Folger Shake- speare Library which enabled him to do part of the research. Mr. G. D. Squibb and Mr. S. E.

Such a condition will be legally binding so long as it is sufficiently clear and is capable of being performed.1 Commonly found in nineteenth- century wills, when the courts developed much of the law on this subject, name and arms clauses are now rather more unusual. In 2011 the Chancery Division of the High Court was asked to consider the validity of a name and arms clause in the case of Howard v Howard-Lawson} The Defendant, Sir John Howard-Lawson, Bt., had sold the ancestral family seat of Corby Castle in Cumbria. The Claimant, his son, Philip William Howard, claimed his father lacked the authority to do so as he had failed to comply with the requirements of a name and arms clause in the will of his benefactor. The Corby estate had come into the hands of Sir John under the will of his great-grandfather Philip John Canning Howard ('the testator'), dated 19 February 1930, who died on 22 April 1934.
