NELSON'S PATENT OF PEERAGE.
SOME reference has been made in 'N. & Q.' to my being in possession of the patent of nobility creating Horatio Nelson a peer. It is perhaps just as well that I should send to
- N. &, Q-' a copy of this document. It is, I
understand, the authority to the Lord Privy Seal to affix the Great Seal to the patent itself, which is doubtless in the possession of the Nelson family.
The document is engrossed on parchment, and endorsed :
"To Our Right Trusty and Right Wei-beloved Cousin and Councillor John Earl of Westmorland Keeper of Our Privy Seal. Sir Horatio Nelson K.B Creation of Baron."
The front of the document reads as follows :
