	Order of Precedency in England
		regard to the order of precedency, it may be observed in general, that persons of every degree of honour or dignity take place according to the seniority of their creation, and not of years, unless they are descended of the blood-royal; in which case they have place of all others of the same degree.

		His main point being that according to the judgment of the House of Lords, the Earl of Kellie had proved his claim to "Earldom of Mar, created by Queen Mary in 1565," therefore his precedence should be in accord with the date of the creation of the Earldom.
		The Order that was made was consequential on a judicial act of the House, founded on a report of the Committee of Privileges; and if that be rescinded, beyond all question some other must be made.
