THE QUESTION OF PRECEDENCE BETWEEN SCOTLAND AND IRELAND.—Some additional evidence in favour of the claim of Scotland, and in support of the decision of Garter King-at-Arms, is adduced in the following letter, which appears in the Times of Monday:— "Taunton, July 3.  "Sir—The decision already come to upon this question may derive additional support from a little work printed in 1672, and entitled Angliie Notitia; or the Present State of England, &c., by Edward Cliamberlayne, Doctor of Laws, and Fellow of the Royal Society, from which I extract the following:—  "After England, the antient kingdom of Scotland bath the precedence, the chief Governor whereof, under his Majesty, is the Lord Chancellour of Scotland, who by that title enjoys the ordinary power and authority of a Viceroy, and is at present the Right Hon. John, Earl of Rothe& " The next is the kingdome of Ireland, the Governour whereof is the Right Hon. John, Lord Berkeley, who by the title of Lord-Lieutenant is as Viceroy of Ireland. " It will be observed, however, that, so far from regarding 'England sun appanage of the Scottish Crown Dr Chamberlayne expressly says—`After England, the kingdom of Scotland bath the precedence.' Also, it is worthy of note that this is declared of Scotland in 1672, 28 puts before the Act of Union between England and Ask country, so that its precedence over Ireland does not need to rest upon a ground set forth by Garter Kingat-Arms—viz., the priority by a hundred years of the Scottish Union before the Irish. —I am, &c., "F.
