 [No title]
The English barons undoubtedly were using the word in the sense it held in Magna Carta, while the bishop probably had in his mind the French peers (pairs de France), a small and select body of feudatories possessed of exceptional privileges.
In course of time to a certain number of barons and high ecclesiastics, either from the great extent of their possessions, their official duties about the king or their personal importance, it became customary to issue a personal writ of summons, thus distinguishing them from the general mass summoned through the sheriff.
barons were of two classes, the older, and more ancient in lineage summoned by writ alone, the honours descending to heirs-general, and the newer created by letters patent, the terms of which governed the issue of the summons and prescribed the devolution of the peerage in the line almost invariably of the.

 Peep-Of-Day Boys - LoveToKnow 1911
The tenants-in-chief were termed generally barons (see Baron) and may be regarded historically as the parents of the peers of later days.
The earls were barons with their special name of dignity added, and their names always appear on the rolls before those of the barons.
Further, it was pointed out, there had been no life-creations for centuries, and those that are recorded to have been conferred since the crystallization of our parliamentary system were of such a nature that the grantees never sat in the house by virtue of their lifehonours, inasmuch as they were existing peers or women.

 Wikipedia: Peerage
In Scotland, however, "baron" is a feudal rank, and not one of the peerage.
The Scottish equivalent to the English barony is the "Lordship of Parliament," the male holder thereof being known as a Lord of Parliament.
Some time after the Wensleydale case, a bill was brought into the House of Lords to allow the Sovereign to create two life peers to sit as "Lords of Appeal in Ordinary", provided that they had the qualification of having been judges for at least five years.

He was a knight of the shire of Yorkshire in the parliament of 1364, and was summoned to the upper house as a baron by writ in 1371, when he was made treasurer and keeper of the great seal.
In 1378 Lord Scrope became chancellor, a role in which he attempted to curb the extravagance of King Richard II, an offence for which he was deprived of office in 1382.
It was, however, restored to his brother John in 1455; and it fell into abeyance on the death, in 1517, of Geoffrey, 11th Baron Scrope of Masham, without male heirs.

 Informat.io on History Of The Peerage
While the ranks of baron and earl perhaps predate the British Peerage itself, the ranks of duke and marquess were not introduced in England until the fourteenth century.
Ecclesiastical dignitaries and the greater barons were summoned by a writ of summons issued directly from the King, while lesser barons were summoned through the local sheriffs.
In some cases, a baron who held a dignity created by a writ of summons was created an Earl, and the two dignities later separated, the barony devolving upon the heir-general, and the earldom to an heir-male.

In 1254, the lesser barons ceased to attend the Council, instead being represented by knights, two of whom were chosen by each shire.
In 1295, the "Model Parliament" was called; the greater barons and prelates were summoned individually, while each shire elected two knights and each sufficiently populous city elected two burgesses.
Only in 1876, twenty years after the Wensleydale case, was the Appellate Jurisdiction Act passed, authorising the appointment of two Lords of Appeal in Ordinary to sit in the House of Lords as barons.

The legitimate children of a life peer take the privilege of children of hereditary barons, being entitled to style themselves with the prefix "the Honourable....".
Originally, though they held the rank of baron for life, they served in Parliament only while holding judicial office; 11 years later, however, an act was passed allowing Lords of Appeal to continue to sit and vote in Parliament even after retirement from office.
The number of Lords of Appeal in Ordinary was increased from time to time—to three in 1882, to four in 1891, to six in 1913, to seven in 1919, to nine in 1947, to 11 in 1968 and to 12 in 1994.

Whoever, having a husband or wife living, marries in any case in which such marriage is void by reason of its taking place during the life of such husband or wife, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to seven years, and shall also be liable to fine.
Thomson CJ was quite right when he held that the court had no jurisdiction to try a person for the crime of bigamy where the second marriage took place outside Malaya.
At this point, it is convenient to return to the words of Lord Wensleydale: the legislature has no power over any persons except its own citizens and those who owe local allegiance to the country, such as, residents or those who may be within the country.

The letters patent were issued: but the peers loudly protested against the intrusion of a life-peer to sit amongst the hereditary nobles of the realm.
An untimely fit of the gout disabled Lord Wensleydale from presenting himself, with his writ of summons, on the first day of the session; and on the 7th of February, Lord Lyndhurst proposed, in a masterly speech, to refer his exceptional patent to the Committee of Privileges.
The crown was forced to submit to the decision of the Lords; and Lord Wensleydale soon afterwards took his seat, under a new patent, as an hereditary peer of the realm.
