[68] Annabella, daughter of the Lord Glenorchy, by the eldest daughter of Henry, the last Duke of Kent. On this match with the Chancellor’s son, she was created Marchioness de Grey. [69] He was made Dean of St. Paul’s by the Chancellor’s interest about this time. [70] Samuel Sandys, a republican opposer of the Court, was made Chancellor of the Exchequer, in the room of Sir Robert Walpole, in 1742, but was turned out in less than two years, and made Cofferer and a Baron, and entirely laid aside on the disgrace of Lord Granville. [71] John, Lord Hervey, eldest son to the Earl of Bristol, was removed from the post of Lord Privy Seal, to make way for Lord Gower, in 1742, and took the place in Opposition which Lord Gower had left. [72] One of them was printed; the subject, Jekyll’s Ghost appearing to Sandys, in imitation of William and Margaret: the other was the same Ghost appearing to Lord Hervey. [73] Thomas Potter, second son to the late Archbishop of Canterbury, and Secretary to the Princess of Wales. On Sunday, June 17, 1759, died Thomas Potter, Esq., joint Vice-Treasurer of Ireland, Principal Registrar of the province of Canterbury, Recorder of the city of Bath, and member in the present Parliament for Okehampton in Devonshire.--(Public Journals.) [74] The first was on a petition for setting aside Mr. W. Pitt’s election at Seaforth, where the Duke of Newcastle had appeared at the poll, contrary to the resolution of the House of Commons against Peers interfering in elections. It was printed in the London Magazine, and old Horace Walpole published a letter to him upon it. The other speech was on the famous bill for removing the Assizes from Aylesbury to Buckingham, on a contest between the Lord Chief Justice Willes and the Grenvilles. Potter talking upon his plan for suppressing Gin, told a near relation of Sir Robert Walpole, that he would imitate that Minister, and expose himself to all the unpopularity of the Excise Scheme. When Mr. Fox was told of this speech, he said it put him in mind of Sir Godfrey Kneller, who, when his gardener was cursing himself, said to him, “God d--n _you_! God d--ns Kings and Princes and great men; God no d--n such poor fellows as you.” [75] It was (Lady Augusta) the eldest, “afterwards Duchess of Brunswick.” As it was necessary to have the Privy Councillors present at the birth of an Heir-Apparent to the Crown, which was prevented by this rash step, the Prince sent messengers, as he was upon the road, to Chiswick and Lambeth, to fetch Lord Wilmington and the Archbishop of Canterbury; but they arrived too late. The Princess was put into a bed that had not been prepared, for which the Prince and Lady Archibald Hamilton were forced to air the sheets. The Queen followed them early in the morning, and asked Lady Archibald, “how she dared to bring away the Princess in that manner?” who turned to the Prince, and said, “You see, Sir, I told you it would be laid upon me.”
