 HISTORICAL
It is worthy of note that the first representative that Mansfield, as a separate precinct, sent to the General Court was the son of Nicholas White.
When Mansfield, in 1770, became incorporated as a district, it was provided that Norton should allow Mansfield a part of the money already assessed for the support of the schools.
They were: The Mansfield North Manufacturing Company, 1814, on the site of the old furnace, known as the old North Factory; the Skinner Factory, 1815, in West Mansfield, where Brigg’s grist mill later stood; and the Williams factory, 1820, in Happy Hollow, West Mansfield.

 Historic Earls and Earldoms of Scotland - Chapter 1 - Earldom and Earls of Mar - Section VIII
The Earl died in 1866, leaving no issue, and was succeeded by his nephew, a son of his sister, John Francis Erskine Goodeve, thirtieth Earl of Mar. He succeeded as heir-general to his uncle, according to the law of Scotland, which had prevailed at least for five or six centuries.
The Earl of Mar at once presented a petition as Earl of Mar, asserted his right to the title, and protested against the claim of the Earl of Kellie.
This caused a stir among a number of Scottish Peers, which was not surprising in the circumstances created by the opinion of the Committee of Privileges, and the rather hasty decision of the House of Lords on one of the oldest Earldoms in the island.

The Earl of Mansfield and Mansfield is a peer in the Peerage of Great Britain, holding two separate creations of the title of Earl of Mansfield in that peerage, the first created in 1776 and the second in 1792.
Both creations were in favour of William Murray, 1st Baron Mansfield (who had been raised to the peerage in 1756 on his appointment as Lord Chief Justice) but had, under the letters patent creating them, different descents.
The Earl holds the subsidiary titles of Viscount of Stormont (1621) and Lord Scone (1605) and Lord Balvaird (1641) in the Peerage of Scotland.

 Cary Baker's conqueroo -Robert Earl Keen - News Clips
Keen has always mitigated his soft twang and bluegrass instrumentation with singer-songwriterly gold sounds, but his twelfth album might be his breeziest yet: all midtempo remembrances and B-plus melodies that won’t expand his cult but won’t hurt his reputation as Texas’ ranking nice-guy poet.
The album's high point, however, is the title track, which tackles that most clichéd of all subjects -- life on the road with a band -- and turns it into a sweet and clever "missing you" song.
Robert Earl Keen's road-tested band, led by guitarist/producer Rick Brotherton, keeps him on sure footing whether he is running spiritual ("Long Chain"), dissipated ("A Border Tragedy," with the great Ray Price as guest) or metaphorical ("Mr.

 H-Net Review: Simon Devereaux on English Common Law in the Age of Mansfield
Regrettably (from the perspective of the present reviewer), Mansfield's criminal trial work is amongst the least well-represented material in his surviving notebooks, though Oldham has discovered and deployed enough peripheral materials to demonstrate Mansfield's conscientiousness there as in all other facets of his judicial business.
Mansfield also upheld the legal restrictions on freedom of religious observance that remained a central pillar of the Georgian constitutional order until the late 1820s, even though he seems personally to have been decidedly sympathetic to a wider degree of toleration than the law allowed.
Most famous of all cases for the non-specialist, however, is surely that of James Somerset in 1772, where Mansfield prevented an escaped slave in London from being forcibly returned to bondage in the West Indies.

The Second Earl found Scone too damp (the walls literally ran with water) for comfort, but it was the Third Earl, aged 19, having inherited Scone Palace, who gave us the Scone we now enjoy.
At the far end is hung the First Earl of Mansfield (by Reynolds, 1776) and his Countess.

 Gowrie Conspiracy- Earl of Ruthven
Like his father and grandfather before him, the young earl attached himself to the party of the reforming preachers, who procured his election in 1592 as provost of Perth, a post that was almost hereditary in the Ruthven family.
During this scuffle the Earl of Gowrie was killed at his own front door and when his brother came dashing down the stairs to the rescue he was also killed.
In addition, he owed the Earl a debt of Ł80,000 which was then conveniently cancelled and the family lands were confiscated to the Crown.

There are portraits described as being of Dr John Arbuthnot which seems more probably to be of William Murray, 1st Earl of Mansfield (1705-93).
It is too young a man, too late to represent Arbuthnot, and is a version of the earlier portrait by Vanloo, with the same face but in a wig, engraved by Basire as painted in 1732.
