legal estate, be Lord Berkeley, or would they both be Lords Berke-
' ley ? Was the Peerage belonging to the tenant in tail, or tenant
far life, as well as the tenant iu fee ? Suppose the estate were sold,
would the title pass with It ? Suppose the tenant became insolvent.
' and the estate were sold by the Insolvent Debtors Court, would the
Peerage be sold with it ?
To these propositions Mr. Baottnnam adverted in the course of
his argument, contending that the consequences, however absurd,
which might arise front the claim being substantiated on the grotto&
put forth by the claimant, ought not to weigh with their Lerdshipsa
The Learned Counsel called their Lordships attention to a variety
of documents, among which was the following charter, confining'
to Robert Fitentaurice de Berkeley the grant to Berkeley ilerncase,
in the reign of King John :

From this charter, he said, the highest jeriatliction was given with
the possession of the lands. The power thus conferred extended
ever: to judging persons who might be taken in faking. Here was
thus the highest power gio,n—vie. a criminal jurisdiction with the
manor. There were but three modes of conferring dignity—by
writ, patent, or tenure But the barony, by patent, did not exist
until the 11th year of Richard 11. a period long subsequent to that
in which the Lords de Berkeley were mum-toned to Parliament.
The Learned Counsel then traced the descent to William de
Berkeley, who was created Marquis Berkeley, and who, by means
of a tine, settled the castle and manor of Berkeley, with their appur-
tenances, to hires& in tail general, with remainder to King Henry
VII. in tail male; remainder to the right heirs of the said Alarquis.
That Monarch wee considered to be Mild of money. Ile had it so
much at heart, his love of accumulation was so great, that, had he
lived at the present day, he would have directed his favourite. the
alarquis, who was generally known by the title of the Earl of Not-
tiughatn, to go to the Stock Exchange, and there eflect bargains for
Lie). But in those times the land-market was the way to wealth.
Instead, therefore, as now, scrip would be obtained, an estate, with
the entail linseed, was sought after. The honour of the barony
merged in the Crown on that Monarch chtairing possession of the
castle. When he died time estate cattle to Henry VIII. and, on the
&nth of the latter King, descended to Edward VI. This was about
I) years after the entail had been cut off. But there were heirs of
the Thomas de Berkeley existing all this time. It' the dignity
had proceeded either uy writ sr by patent, they must needs have
been Peers. But they were only Commoners, and treated as Com-
owners. After retesting to other documentery evidence, front the
period of Henry VII. to the lilst of Charles 11. 1679, the Learned
Counsel thus ptoctaded : My Lords, I have brought to a close the
arguments 1 felt it my duty to urge in tracing this pedigree. with
the application of the law thereupon ; and 1 trust 1 have shown
your Lordships once and again, but particularly upon three spe-
cial and remarkable occasions, that there must have existed a
land barony. It has been so recognised by the Crown, by the
House of Lords. and by the (*mute of Law. By the pro.
eettlinge in quo warranto, in the Itelt of Edward I. (from
records preserved in the Court of Exchequer,) the title to
Berkeley manor, per baroniam, is distinctly admitted. I think
I have shown that the Courts of law admitted this. Next,
upon the decease of Thomas, the fourth Lord Berkeley. whose
daughter (sole child) was married to the Earl of Warwick, :fit had
not been a land barony there would have been a severance of title
from the lands, which there was not ; and 1 have demorstrated that
the honour must have merged in the Crown when the estates were
held by the Crown. Your Lordships find, when the land goes to
the Crown, there is no Lord Berkeley summoned until the land
again reverts to the heirs. on the expiration of the heirs of Henry
VII. by the death of lielwerd V I. Then with the land returns the
barony. I beg humbly but very confidentially to say m veer ler&
ships. that my leached friends who are opposed to this claim must
satisfy your lordships' minds that they have some explanation to
give of the admission et' the crown, of the admission of parliament,
and of the admission of the courts of law. to the existence of this
barony by tenure. If tiny do not. diet., our case is made our. It
is proved by the audio:ill of the courts of law, ley acts of parlia-
ment, and by admissions of die crown. All that reanains for me to
do is to say a few words on what is said would be the inconvenience,
should this claim be established. But will your lordships in this
individual case, by refusing the claim, declare that to bc law which
is not law ? 1%111 your lordships say that it is not right fur so and
so to act. or to enjoy, because some possible inconvenience may
arise ? I t there be inconvenience, let the law be altered ; let the
legislature interfere, and pass a general measure. My lords, there
are one or two points upon which I might have argued, connected
with the view which I take upon this subject. When I am asked
whether any body ever heard of such a claim as a barony by tenure,
I would beg to put a question in return. and ask by what right a
bishop has a seat in this house ? They sit here, my lords, as ba-
rons by tenure, and in no other way : for it is possible that a man
may be a bishop, and yet have no scat in parliament. Nay, we
have an instance proving that fact, in the case of the bishop of
:odor and Man. That right reverend prelate is a bishop, them can
be no doubt; he exercises all the rights of a bishop:, ordaining per.
elms properly qualified for the office of priest. with even as much
right as the pope himself can enjoy. He also confirms, sits in
ordination—nevertheless, lie has no scat in parliament. Why ?
because he is not a land baron. But he has a scat in the Manx
parliament : be receives his appointment, not from the King, but
front the Duke of Athol, who, by the bye. might appoint his own
gamekeeper to be the lord bishop of the Isle of Man. if he thought
proper, and the bishop thus appointed would have the right to or.
(lain persons qualified for holy orders. Could any thing be more
absurd in its consequences than this ?--and yet who denied that
such might he the fact ? Many things, my Lords, I admit, arc
done which ought not to be done ; but we are not at liberty to alter
the law. We have the case of a Bishop who is appointed by the
Dean and Chapter —the Bishop of Gloucester—but who has not
yet a scat in your Lordships' House: nevertheless he is Bishop.—
He cannot sit, because he has not vet (lone homage to the Crown,
in consequence of the extreme indisposition under which the Sovereign
is labouring. But he is a Bishop past all doubt ; it is admitted, a
Bishop once, and a Bishop ever. I do hope, my Lards, that you will
dismiss from your minds all prejudices respecting the inconvenience
which mayarise in allowing the claim, and administer the law melt
now stands, and hereafter alter that law if necessary. But
absurdities and inconsistencies may arise in other circumstances
than these which are now before the House. The Crown can
raise any man from the streets, even should he be a felon.—
A man might be taken from a gaol, who was totally ignorant
of writing, who hail never heard of such a thing as a Court
of Chancery or a Master of the Rolls, and appointed to the
high office of Lord Chancellor. But no one ever dreamed of doubt-
ing the existence of the prerogative.ef the Crown because one abuse of
that prerogative might possibly occur. In the same manna a Peer.
age by writ was liable to abuse—an abuse of the same kind as that
which might accrue from admitting a Barony by tenure. A woman
entitled to a Peerage might marry a person very much beneath her
in blood ; site might marry the scum of the earth, and thus give
birth to a person entitled to a seat in your Lerdshipe House. It
was a much more likely thing that a woman should marry beneath

• .. •
her than the creditors of a bankrupt Baron by tenure shook) taLP
pssession of his estate, a...A, thus beeonte entuled to a seat in yr 4
LonMips' House. I hope, my Lords, that you will deal with t!.
question of law as it stands, and, if the mischief which mar by pos
sibility arise, ought to be obviated, let it be done, not by ja-!•d;'1
proceedings, but by legislative ; because one is consistent with ril.l
cilia with justice—the other is pregnant with wrong, wit;
and is a violation of the law.
