Run " Mouxtjoy of Tiiuiivkstox, co. Derliy," Barony {Blount), c>: 1627 i ex. with the Earldom of Newport, 16S1. (") The "Lieut. Vug," in her obituary notice 1 1 830), writes, " We have never heard her mentioned but. in terms uf respect as a pattern of conjugal duty." ('•; " Chiefly known from having married Miss Bolton the actress, and from having been an unfortunate aspirant in verge making ... a propensity mod unfortunate for himself and for a whole host of creditors to boot . . . the poor Lord, under perpetual apprehension of bailiffs' visits, was obliged for several years to live without having a thing about him to call his own." [Carpenter's " Peerage far the people," 1835.| These poems, ["a large quantity,"] are fully described in his obit, notice in the " Ann. lie<j." for 1829; Their quality is thus spoken of by Byron— '• When Thurlow this damned nonsense sent (I hope 1 am not violent!. Nor men, nor Gods knew what he meant." (•] In a list of Peers, who in Oct. 1894 were directors of 4 or more companies (see note under "Tweeddale") he appears as a director of no less than eight, a fact which suggests his Lordship's peculiar litness for, or any rate attraction to commerce. He, however, appeared in the Bankruptcy Court in June of that year ; gross liabilities £427,567, of which £254,015 was expected to rank ; the assets being £29,890. The Suffolk estate WHS, in June 1894, charged with £43,200, which was said to be more than its actual value.
