Collins, Proceedings and Precedents, pages 321–31; Round, Peerage and Pedigree, volume i, pages 220–21, 224–26; and, for a précis of the proceedings, Hist. MSS. Com., House of Lords MSS., N.S., volume i, pages 403–10. During the hearing of the claim a resolution was carried in the House of Lords, 19 March 1694/95, affirming the right of a surviving coheir of a Barony by writ to demand a summons to Parliament, which decision finally settled one of the most obscure questions regarding the modern doctrine of abeyance. See Doubleday, loc. cit., where, however, (page 743, note "a") the date of the resolution should be as above; cf. Lords' Journal, volume xv, page 522. [S22] The Complete Peerage, G. E.
