[95] Edward Duke of York, the Princes William, Henry, and Frederick, and William Duke of Cumberland, son of George the Second. [96] Henry Howard, Earl of Suffolk and Berkshire, a young lord attached to Mr. Grenville, [afterwards Secretary of State. (See more of him _infra_.)--E.] [97] Lord Northington. [98] Sir Philip Yorke, then Lord Chancellor. His son, Lord Hardwicke, kept away from this bill; Charles Yorke, the second brother, voted for it. [99] He might have been asked why it was more proper to establish the Council for seventeen years, than the same Regent. [100] Alluding to Lord Chatham and Alderman Beckford. [101] Augustus Henry Fitzroy, third Duke of Grafton. [102] Charles Lennox, third Duke of Richmond. [103] Mary, fourth daughter of King George II. [104] Charles Prince of Brunswick, husband of Princess Augusta, the King’s eldest sister. [105] Frederick King of Prussia, son and grandson of the daughter and sister of King George the First. [106] Attached to the Princess Dowager. [107] Lord Bute told him he was in the right, and that a matter of such importance ought to be left under no _dubiety_. [108] See Letter from Walpole to Lord Hertford, of 5th May, 1765, in Correspondence, vol. v. p. 23.--E. [109] I must observe that Lord Holland has since maintained to me, that Lord Halifax alone had gone to the King, which I could never hear but from him: the contrary was the universal belief at the time, and what I learned in the House of Lords, where I arrived within five minutes after the scene I am describing had passed. It is at least evident by the ready concurrence of the Ministers, and by Grenville’s subsequent conduct in the House of Commons, that the measure had been concerted with him and Sandwich; and they both in their speeches afterwards gave indications that it had been so. [110] Memoirs of George II., vol. i. p. 166. [111] Charles Fitzroy, afterwards Lord Southampton, younger son of Lord Augustus Fitzroy, and only brother of Augustus Henry Duke of Grafton.

[113] Mr. Burrell, M. P. for Haslemere, made a Commissioner of Excise in 1774; became a Baronet on the death of his father-in-law, Sir Charles Raymond, and died in 1796. He was the father of Sir Charles Burrell, M. P.--E. [114] Mr. Morton, Chief Justice of Chester, had been long in the intimate confidence of the Princess. He was in extensive practice, as may be seen in Burrow, and the other reports of the day--the leader on the Oxford Circuit, and Deputy High Steward of the University. He had considerable reputation as an advocate notwithstanding the sneer of a cotemporary satire, that says-- “Bewildered Morton spits and stares, All petulance and froth.”
