DO able to throw some light upon the eonealogy
OF our Minister at the Court OF 81. James's. and
his claim that he Is a descendant from those
who have been ennobled In England and Ireland.

spelled differently, one In England, the other In
Ireland. | nnd In the list OF extinct peers Of
England, about the end Of the sixteenth CEN
fury. the name Of Lord Edward Pierepolnt, but
not dlshonored by attainder About the same
date ind In a list Of extinct peers Of England,
Lord Pierrepoint. Had they been OF the same
family they would have spelled their name the
same, and would have been Of different order
OF peerage. / believe there is evidence that the
families were very unprOnc. and very little
known. There never was "A peer of the name
who had any other title than Lord IN either
England or Ireland, aud none whatever In Scot
