FOOTNOTES: [38] James Hamilton, Lord Viscount Limerick, a great friend of Lord Bath, who had obtained the reversion of King’s Remembrancer for him and his son on the change of the Ministry in 1742. He was created Earl of Clanbrazil in 1756. [39] In 1742. [40] Vide the Appendix, C. [41] Soon after Mr. Winnington deserted the Tories, and had made a strong speech on the other side, Sir John Cotton was abusing him to Sir Robert Walpole, and said, “That young dog promised that he would always stand by us.” Sir Robert replied, “I advise my young men never to use _always_.” “Yet,” said Cotton, stammering, “you yourself are very apt to make use of _all--ways_.” [42] Feb. 1752.--On Tuesday night last, died at his house in Park-place, Sir John Hinde Cotton, Bart. He was a Commissioner of Trade and Plantations in the reign of Queen Anne; also member in several Parliaments in that reign for the town of Cambridge; and in the last Parliament of his late Majesty was one of the Knights of the Shire for the county of Cambridge; and in the two first Parliaments called by his present Majesty served again for the town of Cambridge; in the last and present Parliaments for Marlborough. He was also Treasurer of the Chamber to his Majesty in 1742. He married first a daughter of Sir Ambrose Crawley, Knt., and has issue one son, now Sir John Hinde Cotton, and one daughter, married to Jacob Houblon, of Hallingbury, in Essex, Esq. He married to his second lady, the daughter of the late James Craggs, Esq., one of the Commissioners of the Post-office, and relict of Samuel Trefusis, Esq., who died August 23, 1724, by whom he had only one daughter, who died young. [From a printed paper annexed as a note by the author of the Memoirs.] [43] Mr. Murray’s very first step to preferment was by presenting himself and being received into a commission in the Army, which had been made out for another Alexander Murray. [44] John Perceval, the second Earl of Egmont of that name. He was scarce a man before he had a scheme of assembling the Jews, and making himself their King. [45] One of the principal Independents was Blakiston, a grocer in the Strand, detected in smuggling, and forgiven by Sir R. Walpole; detected again and fined largely, on which he turned patriot, and has since risen to be an alderman of London, on the merit of that succedaneum to money--Jacobitism. [46] It was called the “History of the House of Yvory,” in two large volumes. The collecting and consulting records and genealogies, and engraving and publishing, cost him (as the Heralds affirm) near £3000. He endeavoured afterwards to recall it, and did suppress a great many copies. [47] Ethelreda Harrison, wife of Charles, Lord Viscount Townshend.
