In the return of the Lords of the Session, I 740, of the subsisting Peerages [S.], it is observed that " it does not appear that any person ever sat [in Pari.] or voted as Lord Cramond, or that any one offered to vote at any election, since the Union, under that title; but as the descendants of the said Sir Thomas Richardson, if any there were, had, probably, their residence in England, their not having claimed hitherto can be no objection to their title, if they can verify their right to it."
