Excerpt from The Earldom of Mar in Sunshine and in Shade During Five Hundred Years, Vol. 2 of 2: With Incidental Notices of the Leading Cases of Scottish Dignities From the Reign of King Charles I. Till Now, In Reply to an Address to the Peers of Scotland by Walter Henry Earl of Kellie, May 1879In answer to Lord Kellie and Lord Redesdale, I have now vindicated the contentions in my Protests that the precedency of Mar in the Decreet of 1606 is incompatible with the Resolution of 1875 and that that Decreet, corrected when necessary by Court of Session, and supplemented by new creations, became the Roll of Peers down to the Union, and is the Union Roll. I have shown that the Report of 1740 and the abridged Roll of 1847 have no authority, and that protests for remeid of law before the Court of Session were recognised as valid by the House of Lords in 1708 and 1769. Corrections on the Union Roll can only be made by Court of Session, and neither by House of Lords nor Sovereign.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
