" The simple fact,' ' adds Mr. Round, " that the title [of Carrick] was never really con- ferred will solve, the otherwise insoluble problems of its (on the hypothesis of its existence) most mysterious disappearance. As its ' feodum,' the Castles of Harriet Macgriffyn, and Roscrea, continued in the hands of the Butlers, it is otherwise incomprehensible why they should have allowed it to be ' superseded ' (as Lord James Butler expresses it) by a title which completely ignored it ; and, still more why they did not revive it when precedence was the summum bonum, and when it would have ranked them above their rivals of Kildare, and made them in fact the Premier Earls " [of Ireland.] (") Another Barony of Clourjligrenan [I.] (not " Butler of Cloughgrenan ") was conferred in 1693 together with another Earldom of Arrau [I.], on Charles Butler, nephew of the above, aud became extinct in 1758.
