At the CorOB. 22 Sep. 1761, he was L. Hiuh Steward (") See p. 1-17, note •' a," sub "Shrewsbury," for a tabular pedigree shewing his descent from the Kai ls of Shrewsbury. ip) The proof of marriage between the said William and Catharine is by uo means convincing. Thomas Hearue (29 Nov. 17Sf>) speaks of the Bishop as "a very great Hake all the time he lived iu the University, aud afterwards, when in orders, very inush addicted to gaming.' The matriculations at Oxford of his sous, Charles and Edward, are in the ordinary form, but in no case (it is believed) is illegitimacy denoted in those records. The Duke of Shrewsbury, iu the elaborate settlement of the Shrewsbury estates, ignored (he issue of the Bishop, tho' he was personally intimate with him. In "Collins" it is stated that "his first wife was da. of ( — ) Crisps, an Attorney at Chipping Norton, co. Oxford," but the later pedigrees ignore the lady (as a wife) but give him, as a second wife, Agues, da. of Sir William Hartopp. ( c ) "No man ever occupied the high position he had attained with more unmixed admiration : nor did the death of any great dignity ever cause so much general lamentation. Living too short a time to excite the jealousy of his colleagues in the ministry, or to become obnoxious to the opposition, he presided long enough in his Court to prove himself a most efficient and impartial Judge." [Koss's " .hulyes."] Lord Hervey [Memoirs, p. 2S0] says that "he had as clear, separating, distinguishing, subtle ami line parts as ever man had." The political parties on both sides vied with each other in his praise. The " O'cnt. Hay." has a column of the most glowing eulogy of him, ending with the statement that " he was in all characters aud relations of life one of the ablest, greatest, uprightest men, that any age or nation has produced, aud was not only an honour to his country but an ornament to Human Nature.'' His portrait, "after J. Uichardson," is engraved in "Doyle." ( d ) His elder br. Charles Richard Talbot, b. at Worcester ; mat. at Oxford (Ex. Coll.), 21 May 1720 ; </. unm. aud v. p. 1733, aged 24. He is commemorated iu Thomson's poem, called "The Seasont."
