Kerry [I.] on the death of ( il ) Sir Alexander Livingston, of Glentirran, was a bastard sou of the 2nd Earl. ( b ) On his death the issue male of all the persons named in the patent of lfiu'0 became extinct.* " If, however, the letters patent did not proceed upon a resignation, as appears to have been the case, they could not affect any honours which could be claimed under the previous grants," i.e. the Barony of 1633 granted to heirs nude, and, (if the deed could be proved), the nomination (7 May 16U0) of the final rem. of the Earldom, &c, in favour of nearest heirs male. In 1784 Sir Alexander Livingston, Bart., received from the Attorney Gen. (afterwards Lord Kenyon) a favourable opinion as to his claim, as h. male ycncral, to this Earldom.

"This [latent refers to a patent dat. at Westui. 11 July [1619] 17 Jac. I, by whieh Richard Preston, Knt, Baron Preston of Donmore, was cr. Earl of Desmond. No entry of it has been found in the Calender to the English Patent Rolls of that date," where this patent [7 Nov. 1622] is enroUed.
