( a ) This was one of 10 Scotch peerages restored by acts of Pari, (in 1824. 1S26, and Subsequently) out of 19 which had been forfeited for the insurrection of 1715. See vol. iii. p. 192, note " a," tub " Duflus." ( h ) There are apparently many descendants in the male line of the ancestor of the first Peer. ( c ) "The old dignity of Lord Kennedy, conferred in the reign of Jam' s II. [S ], tho' the constitution be as little extant, was also claimed and allowed to the heir male upon Lord Mansfield's untenable ratio in 1762." See " Kiddetl," p. 577, &c, where also are other remarks about this dignity.
