Parl Reform

At this same time the said Earl of Egmont had the
enjoyed amongst his other blessings that of beholding in
the person of the heir to the peerage that adorned his second bed
the person of his half brother eldest son and heir apparent
the person of his son the eldest of his second marriage, Charles Charles
George Lord Arden, the first born fruit of his second marriage. The seven years war had not then
been but a few many months at an end: and from the transactions incidents
of that war an observation had been made how rich
a mass of emolument had been extracted from the fruits
of it in three connected judicatories Courts rising one
above another in so many stages of judicature,
viz. "the High Court of Admiralty" the High Court of
"Appeals for prize causes and the High Court of Delegates
viz of meaning probably of Delegates appointed for Having for the principal if not the whole of their business principally if not exclusively the
trial of ulterior Appeals made from the said High Court of Appeals
for prize causes.

Of this chain of Clerkships all the several links
were found at that time in the possession or a Mr Godfrey
Lee Farrant, a man who of the ordinary working class
who if either at that time was, or at least originally had
been in in the habit of doing rendering in his own person the business service
for which it he was paid.

The situation or chain of situations was seen to be too valuable a one
and thence too respectable an one, to be continued in any
such vulgar plebeian labouring working and ignoble hands as those in which it
was found: a conception was found that by the blessing
of Providence a provision might be made out of it God meaning the God of War, such fruit of office
might be extracted from it, out of which such as with the addition help of
suitable additions as might be found necessary, such supplemental a provision
might be for made suitable as might be adequate or at least contributory to two such so meritorious
and gracious a purpose as that of contributing helping to support
dignity and reward
the party the loyalty
and the other virtues
that were seen shining to shine with so much bright a lustre in this noble and antient truly noble family.
