See " Suuelkv " Baron, cr. 1S3S. 0') The title was claimed [1] in 1838 by Josei'U Tracy, of Geashill, King's county (6. 7 March 1765), s. and h. of James T. of the same (6. 27 Jan. 1729, rf. 4 April 1794) the b. and h. of William T. of Boss, King's county (who rf. 15 Oct. 1731 at Castlebrack, Queen's county), which William was alleged to be identical with William (bap. at St. Andrew's Holborn, Loudon, 22 Feb. 1692/3) 3d s. of Hon. Robert Tracy (one of the Justices of the Court of Common Pleas), who rf. 1735 a?t. SO, and who was s. of the 2d Viscount by his 2d wife. This petition was presented 15 May 1S35, but the claimant rf. 17 March 1836. [2] On his death his s. and h., James Tracy " of South street, Grosvenor Sip, Esq." (4. 1-1 Feb. 1800) presented a petition in May 1S36, which, in consequence of the report of the Attorney Gen. in Aug. 1837, was referred to tho House of Lords. He again petitioned in 1812, but the case was dismissed by the House. In both these claims the assertion was that William, the 3d s. of the Hon. Hubert Tracy abovenamed, formed an imprudent alliance in Dublin with Mary O'Brien, and was consequently disinherited by his father and family. The identity of this William was not established further than (1) by an entry in a prayer book stating that " Will" 1 s. of the Hon. Rob 1 Tracy, late one of the English Judges, Jit. in Dublin, April 17, 1728, Mary, da. of M r James O'Brien, Merchant," and (2) by parole evidence that a tombstone at Castlebrack, Queen's county (which appears to have been forged) contained an inscription to the said William (said to have rf. 1734) by the same description. It appears probable that William, s. of the Hon. Robert Tracy, bap. 22 Feb. 1692/3 as afsd.. rf. an infant, as he is not mentioned in the entail of his father's lauds. [3] The case of Matthew Tract, claiming the said Viscountcy, was printed in Loudon, 1S62. [4] Benjamin Wueatley Tract, Lieut., R.N., whose claim thereto was made before 1S66, was yet auuthev candidate.
