(») It is not known why the title of " Montcaylc " was selected by two Irish families, fir., (1) that of Browne in 1760, and lS) that of Rice in 1839, neither of whom pre- tended to any the smallest connection with the illustrious family of Stanley, on whom the Barony of that name had, in 1514, been, honoris causa, conferred, and between whose numerous coheirs (amongst whom most certainly Messrs. Browne, and Uico were not) it was still in abeyance. " Monteagle " may possibly be the name of some hill (in one case) in co. Westport, and (in the other) in co. Kerry. The first of these creations,however, has the excuse of originating in an Irish Barony long before the Union, and being subsequently (1806) granted as a Barony of the United Kingdom ; but no such excuse applies to the second, which, originating as a Barony [U.K.], inter- fered with a Barony [U.K.] that was then in existence (and had been for above 30 years) while, to add to the absurdity thereof, the grantee was actually in possession of one mountain, " Mount Treuchard," to which lofty designation (in spite of his ambition " imponcre Pclion Ossce") he might very properly have been restricted. (1>) The 3d Earl of Altamont and Baron Monteagle of Westport [I.] was, in 1800, a: Murquess of Sligo [l.J, being, in 1806, cr. Baron Monteagle of Westport [U.K.]
