 33^ CLUN Castle, lyc, of Arundel, with the titles and dignities of the BARONIES OF FITZALAN, CLUN AND OSWALDESTRE, and MAL- TRAVERS,(») and with divers other lands, tfc, being now parcels of the possessions of [him, the said] Thomas, Earl of Arundel and Surrey, Cst'c., to the same title, name, and dignity of Earl of Arundel." From this period therefore the Baronies of Clun and Oswestry (which hitherto had been mere feudal Lordships) may possibly be considered as Peerage digni- ties,^) and as being, together with FitzAlan and Mautravers, annexed to the Earldom of Arundel.

Colin M'Liver, afterwards known as Campbell, s. of . ^ J- John M'Liver, of the city of Glasgow, cabinetmaker, by ^ Agnes, sister of Colin Campbell (an ensign killed in the Ji American War), and of Col. John Campbell, who appears ^ ^' to have adopted him, was t. 20 Oct. 1792, at Glasgow. (') He was ed. at the High school, Glasgow, and at the Military Academy, Gosport. On 26 May 1808 he was gazetted, under the name of Campbell, as ensign in the 9th Foot, and served in the Peninsula; served at Vimiera in 1808, and at Corunna and at Walcheren in 1809; returned to Spain in 1 8 10; fought at Barrosa, Tarifa, and Vittoria, being twice severely wounded (25 July 18 13) while leading a forlorn hope at the siege of San Sebastian, and again at the battle of Bidassoa four months later, after which he returned to England. Col. 1842; A.D.C. to the Queen 1842-54; as Lieut.

C") On these dignities J. Horace Round remarks: "It is difficult to decide the precise status of the title or titles ' Clun and Oswaldestre,' after the passing (in 1627) of this anomalous Act. What the measure really did was to stereotype one of the many erroneous assumptions of titles in the 17th century; but, how far an Act, passed on the erroneous supposition (based, possibly, on a preamble which, in those days, would not require to be proved), that Clun and Oswaldestre were Peerage dignities, could convert them into such dignities is, to say the least, doubtful. No such mode of creation is, surely, known to the Constitution." (■=) "John M'Liver, Wright, and Agnes Campbell, a L. son, Colin, bo, 20th Oct. 1792. Witn. Kenneth M'Callum and Duncan Munro."
