1913. the Lord Clerk Register is directed not to
call the title of Lord Cove of Ochiltree which
figures on the Great Roll. This is because there
was in the early portion of the reign of Queen
Victoria impostor who, at each election at
Holyrood insisted answering and voting as
Lord Colvile of OC-itree whenever the latter'4
name called, although the peerage in ques-
ton is extinct. At length the matter was re-
ported to the House of Lords which accordingly
enacted an order that the name and title OF Lord
ColviIle OF Ochiltree should not be called at
any future election at HoIyrood until the claim
thereto had been satisfactorily established bv a
court of law.

Incorporation of the two countries will be con-
summated, and the Act of Union. passed two
centuries ago. will have been completed.
With regard to the Irish peerage. the Act OF
Union provides that the crown shall create
only one new Irish peerage for every three that
become extinct. the idea being TO restrict ulti-
matey the number of Irish peerages TO one
hundred. only eight Irish peerages have been

the Dukedom of Abercorn, the baronies of Ath-
lumney. of Dunsandle. of Fermoy. of Clermont.

In conclusion it may lie stated that there are
five different varieties of peers-those OF Eng
land Of Scotland, of Great Britain. of Ireland
and of the United Kingdom. The creation Of
the peers of England and of Scotland was
brought to an end by the Act OF Union between
the northern and southern kingdom in 100
while the creation OF peers of Great Britain
came to an end In 1901, when the union OF
Great Britain and Ireland was contaminated.
Since that time all peers created have heeu
either peers of the United Kingdom or peers of
ireland. At the present moment the members
