(1) «The Barony [of WaHsoourt] was, on account of his [Bir. Blake's] father being a Roman Catholic, conferred upon him with [an extended] rem. to the kein male [of the body], of his father, but the contingency of his dying without issue [male] in the lifetime of his father was overlooked. This event, however, did take place, and at Lord Wallsoourt's death, his father was still alive with an heir apparent only, in the person of a grandson. Doubts arose ss to whether in law the peerage was not therefore extinct, and altho' the young man succeeded to his uncle's title, neither be nor any subsequent Lord Wallaoourt has ever brought the question to issue by ddming to vote for a representative peer."
