See Cruise," p. 122. Such was the devolution in 1572 of the Earldom of Northumberland, BR 1557 ; as also was the devolution ill 1751 of the Viscountcy of Bolingbroke. ( a ) The cause was her crim. con, with Topham Beauelerk (s. and h. of Lord Syduey Beauclerk, and grandson of Charles, 1st Duke of St. Albans) viliom she Hi. that same year, and who d. 11 March 2 780. She tl, his widow, 3 Aug. 1S0S. ( b ) The cause of the creation was that her husband, bad he lived 2 years longer, would have become Duke of Portland, a diguity inherited, 0 Dec. 1S79, by his s. and h., hi/ his 1st wife, the present (1880) Duke, who is thus Jt. ap. to the Barony of Dul sorer ; the children by Baroness Bolsover obtaining, by Boyal warrant 18S0, the precedence of children of a Duke. The extmordiiiari/ limitation of this Peerage (in which the right of succession by the issue of the Grantee is poslpnnat to that of a stranger in blood) can onlv be accounted for by the then Premier (Dwreeli) being naturally unwilling to augment the liumbei of the House of Lords (which any creation', that did not of mcessiti/ merge in the Dukedom of I'ortland, might have done) and being priUr-nuturutlij opposed to any " LM I'liEUAUU," even when, as in this case, (for which there would have been abundance of precedent) granted to a Woman.
