(a) His surname as on Garter's Roll (the one from which, excluding the surnames, the Roll for the House of Lords is made) is " Ogilvit-Orant," but it is not clear how soon after 1881 (see p. 95, note "b") this spelling (which differs from that of the two Baronies) was adopted. (»•) See p. 95, note " d." ( ,: ) His creation is thus commented on in the Greville Memoirs. " Everybody cries one against Charles Ellis's Peerage; he has no property and is of no family, and his son is already a Peer." His promotion was owing to Canning, who was » great friend of his cousin, George Ellis (il. 10 April 1815), who was a contributor (both) to the •' Holliad " and the " Anti-Jacobin " ! Tho' a poor speaker, he had a great influence in the House as the recognised head of the West Indian interest. ( d ) According to the decision of the House of Lords, in 1807, as to that Barony.
