( c ) He seems to have been a kind-hearted man and beloved by his bousehoM [Qreville Menvdrs, part ii, voi. ii, p. 157], having something of a literary taste and being in politics a strong and consistent Liberal. ( a ) The opinion, however, of Dr. Lushintton, one of the most eminent of the Advocates in Doctors Commons, 12 July 1831, was that the Hoyal marriage act of 1772 did not affect marriages solemnized out of the British jurisdiction. (°) The marriage is thus registered— 1793, Dec. 6, "Augustus Frederick and Augusta Murray "—the one next preceding it [Dec. 3] being " Robert Brown and Margaret Watson " ; thus the word " Frederick " has the appearance of being the surname of the bridegroom. U) See vol. iii, p. 219, note "a," sub " Dunmore." She had received, since 29 July 179d, an annual pension of £1,200. (8) Her recognition by Queeu Victoria, can hardly be explained on any other grounds than such an assumption, inasmuch as the fact that she was living with the Duke, us his wife, was notorious. ( h ) See vol. i, p. 88, in the remarks under " Angus '' for an account of these seven Earldoms.
