(■) For many years he was in a large way of business as a hansom-cab proprietor, the vehicles marked with " S. T." (Shrewsbury and Talbot), as well as the horses, being of the best possible quality. ( b ) Shrewsbury is the premier English Earldom existing per se, but the antiquity of the anomalous Earldom of Arundel, enjoyed by the Dukes of Norfolk, is, of course, much greater. In Riddell's " Devon" (103-106) it is remarked that "should it ever legally be found that the Devon patent carries the old precedence ' ' [1335, or, as " there is reason to think, of much higher antiquity"] it would rank before Shrewsbury, which was not created till 1442.
