(") The p'ace. in which he sat in 1754 was, however, that of a Barony nf tile creation of 1628, i.e., next below Maynard (cr. 1627) and next above Leigh (cr. 1643), notwithstanding that the precedency of 12^9 had been (wrongfully) allowed to his ancestor in 1628; See p. 260, note " b." () This title appears as if meant to commemorate the descent of the house of Murray from the family of Stanley. (<=) See vol. ii, p. 102, note "a." In this case (as in that of the Dukedom of Sutherland, en 1S33, and the Earldom of Ferrers, cr. 1711) the remainder (in hW male) of the peerage of higher rank, being different from that (in tail general) of WW peerage of the same name already enjoyed by the grantee, is very objectionable, inasmuch as they may at any time (aa has beeu the case with the two peerage* 0 * Ferrers) devolve on different parties.
