A REVIEW OF THE CHANDOS PEERAGE CASE, Adjudicated 1803, AND OF THE PRETENSIONS OF SIR SAMUEL-EGERTON BRYDGES, BART. TO DESIGNATE HIMSELF Per Legem Terræ BY GEO: FRED: BELTZ, Esq. LANCASTER HERALD. LONDON: RICHARD BENTLEY, NEW BURLINGTON STREET, Publisher in Ordinary to His Majesty. MDCCCXXXIV. 1834 ADVERTISEMENT. THIRTY-ONE years since, the House of Peers, upon the report of its Committee for Privileges, to which the evidence in support of the petition of the late reverend Edward Tymewell Brydges, claiming the barony of Chandos, had been referred, resolved and adjudged, that the petitioner had not made out his claim to that dignity.. From the same period, the press-public and private, domestic and foreign-has teemed with imputations, by the claimant's brother and heir and the active conductor of the case, of the injustice of that decision, and the consequent denial to a British subject of a just right of inheritance by the highest tribunal of his country. |
