The Committee revolved that the Eirl of DUNSAVEX had wadi
=this eking to tote for Perri; of Itelnr.d.

TBE nARDWER PEERAGE.

.....
It was resolved that Allen Hyde OiagMet, the infant, had made
out his claim to the title of Baron Galant r.

The late Peer of that title was Viscount, but, in consequence of
his having neglected to take out the patent, the barony only de-
scends to his heirs.

• THE attaarEort rEERAGE.
The Marl of Shannon's claim Hi vote at the decd.° of Irish Re..
presentative Para was admitted.

THE DE LISLE PEERAGE.
The ATTOENEY.GENERAL appeared at the bar to oppose the,
claim. „Ile said, that in consequence of instructions which he had.
received troth their Lordships, he had made inquiries Into the na.
'turd of the present claim, and, as far as he could discover, it was
entirety unfounded. The circumstances of the; case are briefly'
as folkws:—Sir John Selley Sidney claims! the above tide
as decarded in the female line from Lurd Talbot, *he, as is aL.
leged, was entitled to • barony in fee, as descended in the female
line from Gerard De Lisle, who had been summoned Ao eight sue-
' cessive Parliaments in thereigns of Edward 111. end Richman.;
but there was no evidence on record of his having taken his met ill
coeseqaenee of the writs. No claim had been made to the title till
the present, since the death of Gerard DJ Lisle; and Lord Talbot
was created Baron De Lisle of Kingston Lisle, by Imams pate.,e itt
the reign of Edward VI.
The Attorney-General admitted that a sitting in consequence
rat' a summons created a barony in fee, but it did not appear that
Gerard De Lisle had taken his seat, and there was no instance tad
. their, Lordships having presumed a sitting in consequence of a
succession of summonses, unless the fact appeared en the rods oft
Parliament. Ile contended, that even if the fact of his /laving
taken his seat were clearly aside out in point of law, the present.
claim could not be established t for Lord Talbot, by acceoung the
tide by lean pstent, precluded himself from claiming the barony in.
fee ; and. conacqnently. all those who claim through him were pre.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS.
SI st—l beg lease to inform your eorreapondent (Philo-Drams.
tiros) that his wish, *filch appeared in the British Prrss yestet.
day, la about to he gratified, as I understand that the Actors of
Sadler's Wells Theatre, with a liberality which ewer distinguished
the PrOlession, and which does them honour, are every one going
to give up one-sixth of ,heir week's salary towards the relief of
their distressed brethren of the Royalty,
It is much to be hoped, should publicity be given to this, that it
may induce the Performers of the other Theatres to follow this
praiseworthy example.
I have also heard, tt.ough I sill not vouch for its truth, that a '
Committee of Gentle nen are going to engage the Opera for one .
night, fur the benefit of the 175 persons thrown out of employment
by the recent calamity.
I remain, Sir, moat respectfully your's,
