THE OA ADNER PZIERAOZ.

It was resolved that Allen Hyde Gardner, the Infant, had made
out his claim to the title of Baron Gardner.
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 following Is the Resolution, afterwards sanctioned by the
House of Lords, regarding the Gardner Claim of Peerage ; which
resolution has been reported to his Majesty, and of which his Ma.
jesty ha. been graciously pleased to approve :—" That it is the opi-
nion of this Committee (of Privileges) that Alan Legge-Gardner,
the infant, is the only son and heir male olWhe body of Alan Hyde
Gardner his father, which last-named Alan Hyde Gardner was the
eldest son of Alan Gardner of Uttoarter, in the county of Stafford,
who, by letters patent, dated 27th November, 1906, was created
Baron Gardner of Uttoxeter, in the county of Stafford, to him and
the heirs male of his body; and that the said first-named Alan
Leggd.Gardner is the heir male of the body of Alan Gardner, ere-
ated Baron as aforesaid; and therefore that
.the said infant bath
made good his claim to the title, dignity, and honour of Baron Gard-
ner of Uttoxeter, in the county of Stafford, created by the said letters
patent."
The counter claimant was Fulton (Jadies) Gardner, the first (and
afterwards divorced) wife's son ; the successful claimant (now a
minor) is a son by the second wife.

THE SHANNON PEERAGE.

The Earl of Shannon's clahn to vote at the Election of Irish Re-
presentative Peers was admitted.
The Earl of Sheffield has preferred a similar claim. In the case
of Lord Downes preferring a claim of the same description, a Mes-
sage has been sent to the House of Commons, requesting the attend:
ance of the Right Hon. Henry Goulburn and Mr. Leslie Foster, to
be examined as witnesses before the 'Committee.

THE DE LISLE PEERAGE.
The Attorney-General appeared at the Bar to oppose the claim.
He said, chat in consequence olinstructions which he had received
front their Lordships, he had made inquit ies into the nature of the
present claim, and: as far as he could discover, it was entirely un-
founded. The circumstances of the ease are briefly as follow :
Sir Jahn Sedley Sidney claims the above title as descended in the
female line from Lord Talbot, who, as is alleged, was entitled to a
barony in fee, as descended ice the female line from Gerard de
Lisle, who had been summoned to eight successive Parliaments in
the reigns of Edward 111. and Richard 11. but there was no evi-
dence on record of his having taken his seat in consequence of the
writs. Ns claim had been spade to the title till the present, since
the death of Gerard de Lisle; and Lord Talbot was created Baron
de Lisle of Kingston Lisle, by Letters Patent in the reign of 24-
ward VI.
The Attorney-General admitted that a sitting in consequence of
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 of
their Lordships having presumed a sitting in consequence of a suc-
cession of summonses, unless the fact appeared on the rolls of Par-
liament. He contended, that even if the facts of his having taken his
seat were clearly made out in point of law, the present claim could,
not be established; for Lord Talbot, by accepting the title by letters(
patent, precluded himself from claiming the barony in fee . • and
consequently, all 'hose who claim throszla him were precluded.—
The further hearing was adjourned to Thursday neat.
The claimant is married to Miss Fitzclarence. The Dukes of
Clarence and Sussex were present, and seemed to take a strong
interest in it.

Prince LEnPOLD arrived in town on Saturday from
Claremont. His Royal Highness honoured the Italian Opera with
his presence in the evening.
