(*) Courthope, overlooking, apparently, this instance, remarks [** Obeervaiione,** p. xL] : " The case has not occurred where the s. and h. ap., having been called up in a Bamny orUfinatiwj in writ of nimmotif, has d. v.p., leaving an only da. ; but it is presumed such da. would become entitled to thn same estate in the dignity, which was before enjoyed by her father, she being heir apparent of her grandfather and within the original limitation of the writ of creation.'* It may, however, be remarked that Courtho}»e places the succession of this Barony aa '* 1667 " [not 1665} incon- sistently with his above remark ; but, probably, this is not intentional, and is merely a non correcting of the date (1667) as given in ** Nicolae" (^) A whole length portrait, by Kneller, waa engraved in meazotint by R. Williams, a photograph of which ia given in Uutton's " Wentworth" where a small, coarse enginving from a picture by Liely, 1675, pub. 1708 by W. RichanlRon, is also noticed. («) Of her writM Humphrey Prideaux to John Ellis. 20 Sep. 1681, ••The old Lady Jjovelace is very busy at all businesses in the town to influence them her way, and ahe is now grown so xealous a whig that she goes every Sunday to the Lady Andesey's, to make one of the Holy Sisters at her conventicle.** (*) Luttrell (" Diarff," 8 April 1702) wiites, ** Yesterday. in the Houaeof Peers, the Lady Johnaon, da. of the late T^ord Lovelace, was heard by her council aa to her right of being Baronm«a Wentworth ; her claim allowed." (•) See vol. ii, p. 802, note *' b," tub *' Clifton/' as to the descent of Baronies by writ to heirs female. O The estate of Toddington descended, after her death, to William (Wentworth), Earl of Straflbrd (the 2d Karl of the creation of 1711), whose motlier, Anne, was da. and h. of Sir Henry Johnson abovenamed, bv his ^rit wife. Iliis was by virtue of the marriage settlement of the said Henry with his eeeond wife, the abovenamed Marths, Bsroness Wentworth, by which, fnilttig issue from that marriage, the eatate had been so settled. It was curious that it should thus revert to a branch of the Wentworth family. Earl William, however, demolished the grand old mansion, and, at his death, in 1791. the estate waa allotted to his eldest skter and coheir, Lady Anne Cjnolly.
