Since the retirement of Lord Barham in 1806 it has been the rule (broken only in the cases of the Duke of Clarence (1827-28) and the Duke of Northumberland (1852)), that only a civilian (or, as in the case of Lord Mulgrave, 1807-12, a military man) shall be "the ruler of the King's Navee." The naval heads of the Admiralty since the Restoration include in addition to those named in the text, Sir John Leake (17 10-12), Sir Charles Wager (1733-42) and Sir Charles Saunders (1760). {ex inform, the Rev.
