LORD ATIILUMNEY'S CLAIM.

This was the claim of Sir William Somerville to
vote at the election of representative peers for Ire.
land as Lord Athlumney. The:letters patent were
pat in reciting the Act of Union which gave power
to the Crown to create one peer for Ireland on the
extinction of every three Irish peerages, and also
reciting that three Irish peerages having become
extinct the Crown had created the petitioner a peer
of Ireland.

Mr. Sergeant Burke appeared on behalf of the
claimant ; the Crown was unrepresented.
The Lord Chancellor inquired during the course
of the proceedings whether the house was bound to
take the recitals in the letters patent as conclusive
evidence of the facts therein stated. •

Mr. Sergeant Burke replied that their L-44
otniie!ips
had always taken the recitals as sufficient e. cale
of the facts stated. -

Lord Redesdale remarked that, although ihar ss
a very bad practice, their Lordships were in the
habit of admitting the facts so stated as proved, and
he supposed they must do so in the present instance.
The Lord Chancellor said that, whatever rule of
practice it might be desirable for their Lordships
to adopt in future, it would not be fair to the
claimant to object to the reception of the evidence
on the present occasion. He, therefore, moved that
the claim had been satisfactorily made out.
Claim allowed accordingly.
