() His signature (together with those of the 2nd Duke of Bolton, the ist Baron Midleton, and other notables) appears on a document, dated 17 Aug. 17 19, seriously recommending the castration of all unregistered priests and friars, with a view to making the common Irish protestants. V.G. C) J. H. Round points out that by the attainder for felony the Barony was for- feited y«r lift, though preserved for the heirs by the statute De Donls, as now interpreted (see Palmer's Peerage Law in England, 1909, p. 199)- The peculiarity of this case is that he survived his attainder. V.G. At the time Lord Santry 's peerage was supposed to have been forfeited absolutely, and the same view was entertained in the case of Mervin (Tuchet), Earl of Castlehaven [I.] (see under that title), though, in both cases, the peerages being in /a/7 would not have been forfeited by the heirs according to the now received opinion, and to the precedent afforded by the Stourton case (1557) and confirmed (1760) in that of Ferrers. In the former case Charles, Lord Stourton, was attainted for felony and hanged for murder, as also, in the latter case, was Earl Ferrers, but in neither was there any forfeiture by the heirs, and consequently no act of restoration.
