LORD ATIILUMNEY'S CLAIM.

Tnis 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
pot 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 peprages, and al'o
reciting that three Irish peerages having become
extinet the Crown had created the petitioner a peer
of Ireland.

Mr. Sergeant Burke appeared on behalf of the
claimant ; the Crown was unrepresented.

Toe 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 f❑cts therein stated.

Mr. Sergeant Burke replied that their Lordships
had always taken the recitals as sufficient evidence
of the facts stated.

Lord Redesdale remarked that, although it was
a very bad practice, their Lordships were in the
habit of admitting the facts so stated as proved, and
he supposed they most do so in the present instance.
The Lord Chancellor eaid 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.
LORD DE BLAQITIERE'S CLAIM.

This was the claim of the Right Hon. Lord De
Blaquiere to vote at the election of representative
peers for Ireland. The peerage was created in the
reign of George 111., and the petitioner claimed as
the eldest son of the third lord.

THE WENTWORTH PEERAGE.
This was the claim of the Hon. Ralph Gordon
M surviving
ilbanke,commonly called Viscount Ockham, the
Son of William Earl of Lovelace, to
the honour and dignity of Lord Wentworth.
Mr. Fleming and Mr. Lushington appeared for
only
the claimant, and the Attorney• General and Mr,
Charles Clarke represented the Crown.
The dignity of Lord Wentworth was created by
writ of summons to Parliament in the 21st Henry
VIII. in the person of Sir Thomas Wentworth of
Nettlested. He was succeeded by his son Thomas,
whose second son Henry held the dignity after his
death. Thomas, the eldest son of Henry, was the
fourth lord, and was succeeded by his son Thomas,
whose only daughter Henrietta died without issue.
Anne, Lady Wentworth, the sister of the fifth earl,
succeeded to the title on the death of her niece, and
married Sir William Noel, and the issue of their
eldest son having become extinct, the title descended
through their daughter Margaret to her grandson,
Sir Edward Noel, who was created Viscount Went..
worth in 1762. His son Thomas dying without issue
the title descended through his daughter Judith to
Anne Isabella Noel, who married George Gordon,
the seventh Lord Byron, whose daughter Augusta
Ada Byron married William, the eighth Lord King,
since created Earl of Lovelace. The eldest son of
the Earl of Lovelace succeeded to the title of Lord
Wentworth in 1860, but died unmarried in 1862,
leaving the present claimant the eldest surviving
son of the Earl.

Mr. Fleming having summed up the evidence ad-
duced on behalf of the petitioner,
The Attorney-General, in reply to their lordships,
stated that he could find no defect in the proof of
the petitioner, and, so far as he saw, the claim had
been made out.

The Lord Chancellor said he had no difficulty in
advising their lordships that the petitioner had made
out his claim.

Claim allowed accordingly.
