	Charles Rodolph Joseph Francis Taaffe, 10th Viscount Taaffe
	The Taaffe family had, since the late seventeenth century, resided primarily in the Holy Roman Empire, where many of them had risen to powerful positions in the army and at court. During the reign of the Empress Maria Theresa, the 6th Viscount Taaffe was created a Count of the Holy Roman Empire.
	Following the death of the 9th Viscount in 1855, the peerage was claimed by Charles, eldest son of the 9th Viscount. After protracted legal argument on whether Charles was not an alien and therefore unable to inherit the peerage, he won his case, as was reported in The Morning Post of 20 August 1860:-
	This case was, after three years' litigation, decided on Friday last by the Committee for Privileges of the House of Lords, in favour of the claimant … The claimant, Charles, tenth Viscount Taaffe, and Baron of Ballymote, a count of the Holy Roman Empire, and a general in the Austrian service, is a representative of one of the most ancient families in Ireland. Sir Richard Taaffe was a warrior at the time of Edward I, and at the end of the thirteenth century one of the family was Archbishop of Armagh. In the Civil War the Taaffes were staunch and gallant cavaliers. Their viscountcy was obtained from Charles I in commemoration of Sir William Taaffe's victory over the Spaniards at Kinsale. Charles II raised Theobald, second Viscount Taaffe, who was a formidable foe of Cromwell, to an earldom, as Earl of Carlingford, but that title is now extinct. Latterly the Lords Taaffe have resided in Austria, and have been great people there, one of the family being the famous Nicholas Count Taaffe who beat the Turks at Belgrade. Of the claimant's (the present Viscount Taaffe's) pedigree there was no doubt before the Lords, but some difficulty arose as to whether the long residence in Austria of the family had not made them aliens. Lord Taaffe was, however, able to show, after considerable argument as to the admission of certain evidence, that his grandfather Rodolph, the seventh viscount, was born in London, and thus, by virtue of an act of George III, he himself had become a British subject …

	Ford Grey, 3rd Baron Grey of Werke and later 1st and only Earl of Tankerville of the creation of 1695
	Grey was tried in November 1682 for "conspiring to ruin the Earl of Berkeley's daughter". The following account of the affair is taken from Romance of London by John Timbs [3 vols, Richard Bentley, London 1865]:-
	This unfortunate lady, whose beauty and attraction proved her ruin, was 5th daughter of George, 1st Earl of Berkeley. Mary, her eldest sister, married, in the reign of King Charles II, Ford, Lord Grey, of Werke - a nobleman of infamous memory, and to whose artifices the Lady Henrietta fell a victim. It seems that he encouraged a passion for her when she was a girl, and basely taking advantage of the opportunities which his alliance with her family afforded, succeeded in effecting her ruin when she was little more than seventeen. After she had acknowledged an affection for him, the intrigue was continued about a year without discovery, but with great risk; and, on one occasion, as he himself confessed, he was two days locked in her closet without food, except a little sweetmeats. At length the suspicions of the Countess of Berkeley being excited by some trivial accident, she commanded her third daughter, Lady Arabella, to search her sister's room; on which the latter delivered up a letter she had just been writing to Lord Grey, to this effect:- "My sister Bell did not suspect our being together last night, for she did not hear the noise. Pray come again on Sunday or Monday; if the last, I shall be very impatient."
	This disclosure took place at Berkeley House, in London; and every precaution was taken to prevent correspondence or any clandestine meeting between the parties; notwithstanding which, Lady Henrietta contrived to elope from Durdanes, a seat of the Berkeleys near Epsom, and to join Lord Grey in London, with whom she resided, for a short time, in a lodging-house at Charing Cross.
	The Earl of Berkeley then indicted him, and several other persons, for conspiring to ruin his daughter, by seducing her from her father's house. The trial came on, in November 1682, at Westminster Hall; and, after a most affecting scene, the Lady Henrietta being herself present, and making oath that she had left home of her own accord, the jury were preparing to withdraw to consider their verdict, when a new tone was given to the proceedings by the lady declaring, in opposition to her father's claim of her person, that "she would not go with him, that she was married, and under no restraint, and that her husband was then in court". A Mr. Turner, son of Sir William Turner, then stepped forward and declared himself married to the lady. Sergeant Jeffries then endeavoured to prove that Turner had been married before to another person, then alive, and who had children by him; but in this he failed. Turner then asserted there were witnesses ready to prove his marriage with Lady Henrietta, but the Earl of Berkeley disputed the Court having the cognizance of marriages, and desired that his daughter might be delivered up to him. The Lord Chief Justice saw no reason but his lordship might take his daughter; but Justice Dolben maintained they could not dispose of any other man's wife, and they said they were married. The Lord Chief Justice then declared the lady free for her father to take her; and that if Mr. Turner thought he had a right to the lady, he might take his course. The lady then declared she would go with her husband, to which the Earl replied, "Hussey, you shall go with me". It was then asked if Lord Grey might be discharged of his imprisonment. Sergeant Jeffries objected; to which the Chief Justice replied:- "How can we do that, brother? The commitment upon the writ is but till the body be produced; there she is, and says she is under no restraint." It was then argued that the lady was properly the plaintiff, that Lord Grey could not be detained in custody, but that he should give security to answer the suit. Accordingly, he was bailed out. Then followed:-
	Earl of Berkeley - My Lord, I desire I may have my daughter again. L.C.J. - My Lord, we do not hinder you. You may take her. Lady Henrietta - I will go with my husband. Earl of Berkeley - Then, all that are my friends, seize her, I charge you. L.C.J. - Nay, let us have no breaking of the Peace in the Court.
	Despite, however, of this warning of the Chief Justice, Lord Berkeley, again claiming his daughter, and attempting to seize her by force in the Hall, a great scuffle ensued, and swords were drawn on both sides. At this critical moment the Court broke up, and the Judge, passing by, ordered his tipstaff to take Lady Henrietta into custody and convey her to the King's Bench, whither Mr. Turner accompanied her. On the last day of term she was released by order of the Court, and the business being, in some way, arranged among the parties during the vacation, the lawsuit was not persevered in.
	The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography states that Turner was Grey's servant, the inference being that Turner's claim to be Lady Henrietta's husband was a put-up job designed to get Grey off the hook.
	George Montagu Bennet, 7th Earl of Tankerville
	Based on his obituaries, the 7th Earl seems to have been an extremely interesting character. The first obituary is from The Scotsman of 10 July 1931:-
	The Earl of Tankerville died yesterday at Chillingham Castle, Northumberland. He was 80 years of age. He had been ill for only four days and his death was unexpected.
	When he was 74 years of age, Lord Tankerville was taken seriously ill and given up by the doctors. As a last resource, he decided on a "nature cure" and went by aeroplane to Edinburgh for the purpose. He derived considerable benefit from the treatment, and afterwards declared that he enjoyed better health than he had done for years. At any rate, he was well enough to sing 17 songs in the village hall of Chatton in 1928, and to sing them in French, English, Italian and German.
	There was romance enough in Lord Tankerville's life to make the doings of his ancestors tame by comparison. He had been sailor and soldier, was an accomplished singer and painter, an evangelist, a rancher, a woodcarver, and the breeder of the most famous herd of white cattle in the kingdom.
	Even his courtship, if credence can be put in the story, was more than usually romantic. One version is that he met his future wife, a Miss Van Marter, of New York, at a Moody and Sankey revival meeting in Chicago. Another, claimed to be more authentic, is that he was turning a somersault over a sofa in a New York drawing room and nearly fell into the lady's lap. His acrobatic skill landed him on his knees at Miss Van Marter's feet. The result was conclusive. The omens were too strong to be disregarded and the marriage took place in 1895, to the great edification of New York society.
	The second son of the sixth earl, by his marriage to Lady Olivia Montagu, daughter of the sixth Duke of Manchester, he was born on March 30, 1852. He entered the Royal Navy as a midshipman, but did not take kindly to the sea, and tried the Army. He served for eight years in the Rifle Brigade, and then came to the conclusion that he was not cut out for a military career. Next he went cattle ranching in America. There he met Mr. Moody and, being possessed of a fine voice, he joined the famous evangelists, and subsequently toured with them in England.
	In 1899 he succeeded to the title and to the ownership of Chillingham in Northumberland, which is almost as well known for its ghosts as for its white cattle which are a feature of the park. One apparition, known as "The Radiant Boy" because of a halo of lights which surrounded him when he made his appearance at midnight, vanished forever when the bones of a boy were discovered and decently interred in consecrated ground.
	Other ghosts were those of a Dominican abbess and courtiers of the time of Henry VIII. Lady Tankerville herself vouched for the fact that one night she saw she saw the face of her husband, but garbed in the French attire of four centuries ago.
	The second obituary was published in the New York Times, also on 10 July 1931:-
	Chatton, Northumberland - The Earl of Tankerville, sometime called "the Singing Earl", died today after a four days' illness. The Earl possessed a fine tenor voice and had studied with the Italian master, [Giovanni] Sbriglia [1832‑1916].
	Through his French grandmother, the beautiful Corisande de Gramont, daughter of Antoine, Duc de Gramont, Lord Tankerville had in his veins the blood of Henry IV of France, and is also supposed to have inherited the King's good looks. Some of his English friends are said also to have attributed his so-called eccentricities to the French connection.
	The life of the Earl did not follow the example of the majority of his fellow-Peers. He was successively a midshipman in the Royal Navy, an officer in the army, a Lieutenant of the Rifle Brigade, a cowpuncher in our Western States and an evangelist with Moody and Sankey, eventually taking the latter's place in singing the hymns. It was during his revival work here that he met and married the woman who is now his widow, the former Leonora Van Marten, daughter of J.G. Van Marten of this city. She had been a music teacher.
	The Earl enjoyed his American experience. He liked to tell of his first meeting with a Westerner. "As I got off the train at Livingston, Montana, on one hot, dusty day in midsummer," he would relate, "I saw coming toward me a tall, heavy, fierce-looking man wearing a red flannel shirt, stuffed into black trousers and the latter tucked into rawhide boots. At his waist a formidable six-shooter was conspicuous. I was coatless and was wearing a thin English woollen shirt." "'Hello, stranger," he saluted. Then he took hold of the sleeve of my shirt and felt it. "Waal," he ejaculated, "Ef that aint the damnedest, thinnest flannel shirt I ever did see. Come on an' have a drink."
	In January 1912, the American newspapers contained many such headlines as "Making a Lord a Democrat". They referred to the fact that Lord Tankerville had placed his 14-year-old son in a Boston school. The Earl explained that his son would inherit his estate of 31,000 acres and he wanted the boy, Lord Ossulston, to be educated in a world where every one worked.
	The special remainder to the Earldom of Temple of Stowe
	From the London Gazette of 12 January 1822 (issue 17781, page 59):-
	The King has been pleased to direct letters patent to be passed under the Great Seal, for granting the dignities of a Marquess and Duke of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland to Richard Marquess of Buckingham, Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, and the heirs male of his body lawfully begotten, by the names, styles, and titles of Marquess of Chandos and Duke of Buckingham and Chandos.
	Not mentioned in the Gazette notice is the Earldom of Temple of Stowe, which was created in the same patent. While the Marquessate and Dukedom have the ordinary limitation of heirs male of the body, the Earldom has a special remainder, as follows:-
	Failing heirs male of his body (1) to the heirs male of the body of Hester, some time Countess Temple, deceased, great-grandmother of the said Richard, Marquess of Buckingham with remainder (2) of the dignity of Countess Temple of Stowe to Anne Eliza Brydges-Chandos-Temple-Grenville, only daughter of Richard Plantagenet Brydges-Chandos-Temple-Grenville, Esq., called Earl Temple, only son of the said Richard Marquess of Buckingham; and, after her decease and in default of such issue as well of the said Richard as of the said Hester (3), the dignity of Earl Temple unto the heirs male of the body of the said Anne Eliza Brydges-Chandos-Temple-Grenville, and in default of such issue of the said Anne Eliza as of the said Richard and the said Hester (4), the dignity of Countess Temple to the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and every other daughter of the said Richard Plantagenet Brydges-Chandos-Temple-Grenville, with (5) remainder of the dignity of Earl Temple of Stowe to the issue male of such daughters.
	The Earldom descended with the Dukedom until 1889 when all peerages except the Earldom of Temple of Stowe became extinct. Under the special remainder the Earldom passed to William Stephen Gore-Langton, who was the first son and heir of the Anne Eliza mentioned above.
	Harold James Selborne Woodhouse, 2nd Baron Terrington
	The following [edited] report appeared in the Daily Telegraph of 30 June 1928:-
	A sentence of four years' penal servitude was passed by Mr. Justice Branson at the Old Bailey yesterday, on Lord Terrington for fraudulent conversion.
	The details of the charge occupied a page and a half of the calendar. They referred principally to large sums of money he was alleged to have received on account of Sir Harold James Reckitt [2nd baronet]. Lord Terrington was also alleged to have converted to his own use two cheques he had received on account of Mrs. Emiline Mary Molyneux, of Knightsbridge, and Mr. Herbert Russell Wakefield, of Ashley-gardens, Victoria.
	There were fifty counts in the indictment, the reading of which occupied the Clerk for several minutes … Lord Terrington pleaded guilty to all the counts relating to Sir Harold Reckitt, and not guilty to the two counts relating to Mrs. Molyneux and Mr. Wakefield.
	Mr. Eustace Fulton, outlining the case for the Crown, said the counts on which Lord Terrington had pleaded guilty involved the sum of £60,000. Lord Terrington was a solicitor, and practised for many years under the style of Woodhouse and Company in Clarges-street. Sir Harold Reckitt had known him all his life, and had been a client of Lord Terrington's father, who was also a solicitor. Sir Harold was in the habit of travelling a great deal, and it was his custom when away to give Lord Terrington very wide powers of attorney, which gave Lord Terrington complete control of his affairs. The charges in the indictment related to the fraudulent use of that power, by which Lord Terrington possessed himself of considerable portions of Sir Harold's properties.
	Lord Terrington was adjudged bankrupt in 1926, and left the country. Owing to this no statement of affairs had been lodged. But, continued Mr. Fulton, there were proofs of debt amounting to about £400,000. Sir Harold Reckitt had lodged proofs amounting £213,936, but he (Mr. Fulton) had been informed that upon examination of other sources that figure would probably be increased to about £300,000.
	Dr. Watson [senior medical officer at Brixton Prison] said Lord Terrington had a very much enlarged heart, and was suffering from a very grave valvular disease of the heart. From the medical certificates he had seen, Lord Terrington's condition was very grave as far back as 1915 and probably earlier.
	Mr. Fulton gave details of sales of shares made by Lord Terrington in order to repay a Mr. Buxton who had lent him money on the security of a property. The next transaction, he said, related to the misuse of Sir Harold's property in order to settle with Lady Nunburnholme. Lord Terrington became a trustee of her daughter's marriage settlement. The sum of £9,000 was loaned to him on mortgage, and she instructed her solicitors to call it in. A sum of £5,460 which remained after Lord Terrington had reduced certain of Sir Harold Reckitt's overdrafts remained in Lord Terrington's account, and was absorbed for the use of him and his firm.
	Mr. Justice Branson, passing sentence, said: "You have disgraced an honourable profession. But for your state of health and the fact that you have been in custody fifteen months I should have imposed a longer sentence than I propose to do. Taking these things into consideration … I cannot feel I am doing justice if I impose a less[er] sentence than four years' penal servitude."
	The Daily Telegraph of 2 July 1931 reported Lord Terrington's release from prison:-
	Lord Terrington was released from Parkhurst Prison just after nine o'clock this morning. He had been nearly three years at the prison, the whole of the time in hospital, and his health is still very bad. The local Red Cross ambulance went to the prison hospital. Lord Terrington was brought out on a stretcher and was placed inside. Two prison doctors accompanied him on the journey to Southsea, where it is understood Lord Terrington is to enter a nursing home.
	Henry Francis Roper-Curzon, 14th Baron Teynham
	Teynham was convicted in May 1833 of conspiracy to obtain money by false pretences. The following report appeared in the Preston Chronicle of 18 May 1833:-
	This was an indictment for a conspiracy with an intent to obtain D16971,400 from the prosecutor (Didimus Langford) under the pretence of providing a place for him under Government.
	Sir James Scarlett appeared for the prosecution, and stated that the prosecutor was possessed, in 1828, of a sum of money, about £2000 or £3000, and he was anxious to dispose of it in such a way as to get some situation under Government, from which he might derive a certain emolument. He mentioned his wish to a friend, and he got introduced to [a man named] Donlan, when it was stated that a situation could be obtained for him for £1,500. Donlan introduced the prosecutor to Lord Teynham, and he represented that the noble lord was a person who could get him a situation. Upon the first introduction which passed between Lord Teynham and Mr. Langford, it did not appear that Lord Teynham was to participate in any part of the money; but from the evidence it appeared that frequent interviews took place afterwards, and Mr. Langford had then no doubt but that Lord Teynham was to receive part of the sum. Mr. Langford relied upon the promises he had received, and the manner in which Lord Teynham, a peer of the realm, had taken him by the hand. Under these circumstances, when he was told that the situation was sure, Mr. Langford was induced to sell out his stock, and having converted it into Bank notes, handed it over to Donlan. No situation was obtained, no part of the money was refunded, and from the whole transaction it would seem that there had been a conspiracy to obtain the money from the prosecutor, without any intention or ability to procure for him a situation under Government, as had been held out to him.
	On the part of the defendants it was not denied that Donlan had received one thousand four hundred pounds, but that it was a loan; and that, although Donlan had promised that he would endeavour to get the prosecutor a situation, yet that there was no bargain made between them. Several letters from the prosecutor were put to prove that £700 had been returned to him; but the hand-writing of the prosecutor could not be identified.
	The Chief Justice summed up, and read over the whole of the evidence. His Lordship observed that the prosecutor was either a very silly man, or else a most perjured man. The difficulty, in cases of conspiracy, was to draw the distinction between the acts of one and the other; and the Jury would therefore be careful, in weighing the evidence as relating to each of the defendants.
	The Jury found both the defendants, Lord Teynham and Mr. Donlan, Guilty - Judgment deferred.
	Lord Teynham appealed this verdict and obtained a new trial, but I have been unable to find any reporting of such new trial. It would seem that the matter simply went away and that Lord Teynham was never sentenced for his role in this matter.
	Sackville Tufton, 9th Earl of Thanet
	In May 1798, Arthur O'Connor, a member of the Society of United Irishmen, was arrested while travelling to France with Father James Coigley and three other United Irishmen. The prisoners were subsequently tried for high treason at Maidstone. Among the people who were present at this trial was the Earl of Thanet, who was charged with having created a riot in an attempt to rescue O'Connor. The report on his subsequent trial is taken from the New Universal Magazine for May 1799:-
	Mr. Attorney-General [Sir John Scott, later 1st Earl of Eldon], in behalf of the prosecution, stated in May last [i.e. May 1798], five persons were tried at Maidstone, by special commission, on a charge of high treason; that four of them were acquitted, but that Mr. O'Connor, against whom a subsequent warrant had been issued by the Secretary of State, on a charge of other treasonable offences, had attempted to make his escape, in which he was assisted by the defendants.
	The evidence of Mr. Sergeant Shepherd was the most material. He was one of the special commissioners on the trial, and stated, that when the verdict of not guilty was pronounced, some persons in court remarked that the prisoners were of course discharged, which was contradicted by others, Mr.  O'Connor had his knee upon the bar, endeavouring to get over, but was restrained, the police officers advancing toward him at the same time. The court was then asked whether the prisoners who had been acquitted were not to be discharged? - To this question Mr. Justice Buller replied in the negative, saying that they were to be detained in prison; and one of the police officers at the same instant remarked that he had a warrant against Mr. O'Connor signed by the Secretary of State.
	The judge then proceeded to pass sentence on [Father James] Coigley; toward the conclusion of which Lord Thanet and Mr. O'Brien looked up to O'Connor, and Mr. O'Brien cast his eye toward the seat below, with an inclination of his head; but Lord Thanet was not observed to make any motion. At the conclusion of the judge's sentence O'Connor put his left foot upon the bar, his left hand upon Mr. O'Brien's shoulder, and his right hand on Lord Thanet's, and leaped over the bar between the two gentlemen. The police officers were at that moment pressing forward to take O'Connor into custody. There was an outcry of "stop him;" but Lord Thanet stood in the way, and held up a stick with both his hands over his head.
	Much confusion now ensued, and many persons got upon the table;- the police people endeavoured to lay hold of O'Connor, while others were strenuous to prevent them; a general riot and confusion prevailed in that part of the court, but O'Connor was at length stopped and brought to the bar. A person on the table drew a sabre, which was among the prisoner's baggage, apparently with a view to defend the judges. Some persons appealed to the judges to know whether it was a legal warrant; while others endeavoured to assuage the tumult. Mr. Sheridan was at the time in conversation with the judges. On Mr. Shepherd being asked whether any order had been given by the court to detain O'Connor, he remarked that he thought the court gave a broad hint that he should not be discharged.
	On cross-examination, the evidence admitted that Lord Thanet remained in the same situation during the time of O'Connor's getting out of the bar, and until he held up the stick, which he seemed to do in defence of himself.
	Lord Romney deposed that at the time O'Connor leapt over the bar, he saw a person with a drawn sword, and thinking that the business was becoming very serious, when O'Connor was brought back, he ordered the javelin-men to form themselves around him, telling him that he [O'Connor] was not acquitted, but meaning thereby that he was not discharged; the noble lord attributing his mistake to the keenness of his feelings at the moment. Mr. Ferguson told his lordship that he was mistaken, for that O'Connor was acquitted. - His lordship could not say who it was that obstructed the Bow-street officers.
	Sir J[ohn] Mitford [later Baron Redesdale], solicitor-general, stated that he observed Mr. Ferguson speaking to O'Connor when he put his leg over the bar; Sir John called out to stop him; Mr. Ferguson asserted that O'Connor was discharged, which Sir John said he contradicted; that the gaoler laid hold of O'Connor, who then drew back his leg; when Rivett, a police-officer, pressed forward, stating that he had a warrant against O'Connor. Several persons leaped over the box upon the table; most of the lights were extinguished; and the witness was not able to prove the identity of any person.
	Judge Heath, after affirming the foregoing evidence, said that Mr. Ferguson addressed the judges, stating that the constables were to blame, for they had occasioned the riot. He did not observe Mr. Ferguson do any thing to assist the rioters. The bench was very much alarmed on learning that there was a great number of disaffected persons in the town. It was such a riot as he had never witnessed in a court of justice.
	Rivett, one of the police officers, corroborated the preceding statements. He also added some circumstances respecting Mr. Thompson, but on closer investigation it did not appear that he had a distinct recollection of that gentleman's person.
	Sir Edward Knatchbull saw Lord Thanet, and it appeared to him that his lordship endeavoured to prevent Rivett from seizing O'Connor.
	Thomas Watson, the gaoler of Maidstone, heard the judge give directions not to discharge the prisoner. A person unknown to the witness, below, said to O'Connor, "you are acquitted, why don't you jump over;" - O'Connor replied, "I am ordered to be kept" - The person below said, "pshaw, jump over". He instantly jumped over, and the witness laid hold of the skirt of his coat.
	Thomas Adams, coachman to Judge Buller, swore that he was the man who seized O'Connor at the wicket gate, on the south side of the court. He was knocked down; and upon recovering, he again seized O'Connor, and swore he would be d----d if he should go. He saw Lord Thanet close to him with a small stick; did not know who knocked him down, but saw Rivett strike Lord Thanet with a stick. He saw a person with a black gown and a wig taking an active part in obstructing the officers.
	Mr. Stafford, clerk to Mr. Knapp, swore that he jumped upon the table, and seized a sword in order to defend the judges. He did not observe that Lord Thanet made any obstruction to the officers.
	Ormer, a sheriff's officer, and one Porter, were the last persons examined; but their evidence was of no consequence; and here the evidence for the Crown closed.
	Mr. [Thomas] Erskine [later 1st Baron Erskine], after a very impressive address to the jury, observed that as Mr. Brown and Mr. Thompson were not affected by the audience already given, he intended to call them up as witnesses in the further stage of the business. He then entered into an eulogium on the character of Lord Thanet and Mr. Ferguson.
	Mr. Robert Smith, M.P., Mr. Bainbridge, Mr. Charles Warren and Mr. Maxwell were called in the defence. Mr. Whitbread was next called upon, and deposed - "I was present at the trial - had a perfect view of the court - knew Rivett previous to this affair - and am fully convinced that neither my lord Thanet nor Mr. Ferguson was accessory to the origin of the riot. On the contrary, I saw Mr. Ferguson wave his hand to preserve the peace. I remember judge Buller passing sentence upon Coigley, previous to which silence was with some difficulty maintained. Immediately after the sentence, O'Connor got out of the dock. I did not see Lord Thanet strike Rivett; on the contrary, his lordship was endeavouring to defend himself as well as he could; but I certainly had not my eye particularly on his lordship. - I found a press upon me from all quarters. Some persons were attempting to advance one way, while others pushed forward in a contrary direction. I know Mr. O'Brien very well, and did not believe him guilty of aiding or abetting the riot; but I beg leave to impress upon the mind of the court that in such a vast scene of confusion it was impossible to tell accurately what passed.
	Mr. Sheridan was then called upon, and deposed that he was in court when the jury retired to consider their verdict, and when they returned, and during the whole of the tumult. He was in the witness box with Sir Francis Burdett and the high sheriff; he had an opportunity of perfectly observing all that passed. When the sentence was passed, Mr. O'Connor got nimbly over the box, and made toward the door. Mr. O'Brien was near the box, and went rather behind it, though he was in the best situation to have assisted him, if he had been so disposed. Mr. Sheridan said any attempt to rescue O"Connor must have been rashness, but if anyone could have afforded assistance it was Mr. O'Brien, from the particular situation he was in. He said he had, at the request of the judge, exerted himself to assuage that panic which prevailed throughout the court. Lord Thanet was assailed by one of the officers, and the blows were laid on so thick, that it was almost incredible he should have able to defend himself. He saw Mr. Ferguson in his place, till he was forced from it by the crowd; he had no stick in his hand, nor could Rivett have come in contact with him, so as to have wrested a stick out of his hand. Mr. Sheridan positively swore Mr. Ferguson had no stick in his hand; and stated if he had had one, he must have observed it.
	Mr. Sheridan having finished his evidence in chief, Mr. [Edward] Law [later 1st Baron Ellenborough] asked him whether, from the observations he had made, he could state upon his oath that neither Lord Thanet or Mr. Ferguson intended to favour the escape of Mr. O'Connor? Mr. Sheridan replied that nothing that came under his observation could induce a belief they had any such intention. Mr. Law repeated the question, and rather a warm altercation ensued; but Mr. Sheridan persisted in giving the same answer.
	The attorney-general replied to the arguments of Mr. Erskine and commented upon the evidence, inferring that it strictly applied to the three defendants, Lord Thanet, Mr. Ferguson and Mr. O'Brien.
	The jury retiring, and after remaining out an hour and a half, concluded this important trial, which lasted from nine in the morning till twelve at night, by pronouncing Lord Thanet and Mr. Ferguson guilty. - The other three [O'Brien, Thompson and Brown] were formally acquitted.
	On 10 June 1799, Thanet was sentenced to a year's imprisonment in the Tower of London and fined £1,000. Upon his release, he had to enter into a good behaviour bond for seven years, together with providing sureties amounting to £20,000.

	From the London Gazette of 6 January 1801 (issue 15326, page 40):-
	His Majesty has been pleased to grant the following Dignities to the Noblemen hereafter named, and the Heirs Male of their respective Bodies lawfully begotten, viz … To Murrough Earl of of lnchiquin, Knight of the Most Illustrious Order of St. Patrick, the Dignity of Marquis of Thomond, with Remainder to his Brother the Honorable Edward O'Brien.
	Murrough O'Brien, 1st Marquess of Thomond
	From the Aberdeen Journal of 17 February 1808 [but article dated 12 February]:-
	We are concerned to state the untimely death of that worthy and respectable public and private character the Marquis of Thomond, which took place in Grosvenor-square yesterday afternoon. His Lordship was riding, attended by a groom, when his horse taking fright, got upon the pavement, where he fell, and precipitated the Marquis with violence into the horse way, where a waggon cart coming hastily by, one of the wheels ran over the body. He was taken into Lord Blandford's house, where he expired in about half an hour.
	A slightly different version had previously appeared in The Morning Chronicle of 11 February 1808:-
	We are sorry to state, that yesterday the Marquis of Thomond was unfortunately killed in Grosvenor-square. He was riding on horseback, and as he turned the corner of the square from the east to the south side, he rode up rather close to the railing, where the pavement is not so even as in the middle of the carriage-way. The horse tumbled, and his Lordship fell upon his head. Being in his 86th year [sic], he was very infirm, and incapable of making any exertion towards lessening the force of his fall; he bled profusely, and lay upon the ground. Lord Sydney happened to be home at the time, and ordered his porter and some others, to bring the unfortunate Nobleman into his house. The servants took him up in an apparent lifeless state; and upon a professional man being sent for, it was found that his Lordship was actually dead. Just as his Lordship fell a cart happened to be coming up; one of the wheels run against him, but it is not supposed that that was the occasion of his death. A warrant was last night obtained for the removal of the body to the house of the deceased; and the inquest will be held this day. His Lordship was Marquis of Thomond and Earl of Inchiquin, in Ireland, and Baron Thomond, in England.
