('') George Porter was s. ami h. of Endymion Porter, Groom of the Bedchamber to Charles I., by Olive, 1th da. and coheir of John (Boteler), Baron Ilotcler of Brantfield. A good account of them and tl.eir issue is in " The Clusters of I'hkhtltij" by K. Chester Waters. See also Burke's "Commoner*," edit. 1S37. (°) He was nominated by the Crown, in 1710, as Dean of St. Patrick's, Dublin, lint the Chapter rejected the nomination. It appears that, having sold his vote in an appeal case, it was resolved by the Lords [I.] in March 1784, that he had acted criminally and corruptly (by endeavouring to obtain a bribe of £200 for his vote ill n cause pending in the House of Lords [I.]), and on the 1 1th May ensuing a bill passed both Houses disabling him from sitting in that or any future parliament. — See "State Trials," vol. xxii, p. 101. In 1 7S0, tho' he was then in receipt of a pension of £ 100 a year from Government, he opposed their measures. See a good deal about him in the 13th Rep, Hist. MS8. Com. ; app. part iii, in the " Furlcscue Papers" vol. i, pp. 513-516. ( d ) On IS Nov. 1735, S. Hamilton writes to the Duke of Rutland (Viceroy of Ireland), " Lord Luttrell desires me to solicit your Grace for a coneordatiiin warrant, of £130 for the use of Mr. Smythe, Lord Strungfurd'u eldest son, who is ill very great distress with a wife and five children, and for want of such a sum would be arrested, and hindered of a preferment in the church." His claim on the Government! IB right of his wife as "an American Loyalist," was admitted, 18 Sep. I7S3,to the extent of about £0,000. He appears to have been a needy, untruthful, and worthless fellow.
