  Committee of Privileges of the Maltese Nobility - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Committee of Privileges of the Maltese Nobility is an association for deciding succession, new titles, and general issues concerning the recognised titles of nobility of Malta.
A British Colonial Royal Commission decided which of these titles were to be accepted, and on its conclusion, 32 titles of Count, Marquis, and Baron were acknowledged by the British Government for usage in Malta and the British Empire.
When Malta became a republic in 1974, the Committee went into abeyance; but it was revived nearly a decade afterwards.

The taxes no longer sufficed; the exchequer was robbed by privileged thieves; an enormous debt continued to increase; and the king, almost reduced to the necessity of declaring the state bankrupt, demanded aid from the nobility and clergy, who, hitherto free from taxation, had amassed the whole wealth of the empire.
The nobility and clergy, infuriated by this dreadful humiliation, embittered the people still more against them by their futile opposition, and, at length convinced of the hopelessness of their cause, emigrated in crowds and attempted to form another France on the borders of their country in the German Rhenish provinces.
