	Precedence - LoveToKnow 1911
		Tudor, duke of Bedford, it is presumed for observance at the marriage of Henry VII.
		The office of lord great chamberlain of England is hereditary in the coheirs of the last duke of Ancaster, who inherited it from the De Veres, earls of Oxford, in whose line it had descended from the reign of Henry I.
		It ranks the lord president of the council and the lord privy seal before dukes, while it places the chancellor of the exchequer after the younger sons of earls and the eldest sons of barons, and the secretaries of state after the master of the horse and the vice-chamberlain of the household.

	The History of England - Chapter III. (by John Lingard)
		Lord Lauderdale, the chief of the Scottish commissioners, hastened to the king to obtain his concurrence; a new covenant, devised in his favour, was exposed at Skinners’ Hall, and the citizens and soldiers, and probably the concealed royalists, hastened in crowds to subscribe their names.
		Its provisions were said to be unwarranted by the powers of the commissioners, and its purpose was pronounced an act of apostasy from the covenant, an impious attempt to erect the throne of the king in preference to the throne of Christ.
		The commissioners were permitted to argue, to advise, to entreat; but they had no power to concede; their instructions bound them to insist on the king’s assent to every proposition which had been submitted to his consideration at Hampton Court.

		On the 21st of September, 1748, they presented a memorial to the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury, setting forth the general facts as to the decline of the currency and especially pointing out that since the account of the province was stated, exchange had risen from 540 to more than 1000 per cent.
		He was empowered to give a full and ample discharge to the Lords Commissioners for the sum granted by parliament upon the deposit of the money in the Bank of England to the credit of the province.

		The Act specially requires that another merchant commissioner shall be elected at the expiration of three years, whereas it was stated in evidence, and not refuted, that the merchants, though nominally elected every three years, are in fact elected for life; one had been a commissioner for 40 years.
		The meetings of the commissioners are with closed doors, which is contrary to the practice of nine-tenths of the harbours of the United Kingdom.
		The commissioners audit their own accounts; but even this auditing was as informal as it could be.- The account book was handed to me, and on turning over the- pages I could not find a single signature.

	Land, Agriculture-Mitchell
		On March 7, 1727/8, John, Lord Carteret, who had inherited the one-eighth of Carolina originally granted to Sir George Carteret, learned that the other proprietors were willing to surrender their rights and property to the king for what appeared to be modest considerations.
		Commissioners to allot the district, appointed by both sides, were to submit to the Privy Council within eighteen months a plan containing a full and complete description of the lands to be granted.
		The claim of the heirs was based on the grants of King Charles II to the Lords Proprietors, the 1729 act of surrender that reserved one-eighth of Carolina to John, Lord Carteret, and the indenture to him of September 17, 1744.

	Wikinfo \| First Lord of the Treasury
		Eventually, the First Lord of the Treasury came to be seen as the natural head of any ministry, and from Robert Walpole on, began to be known, unofficially, as the prime minister.
		By convention, the other Lords Commissioners of the Treasury are the Government's Whips in the House of Commons.
		Similarly, 11 Downing Street is the residence of the Second Lord of the Treasury, not the residence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, though given that since 1827 all chancellors have also been second lord, people often presume wrongly that 11 Downing Street is the Chancellor's residence.

	List of Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		After the serving Lord High Admiral, the Duke of York, had been disqualified from the office as a Roman Catholic following the Test Act of 1673, the Board of Commissioners consisted of between twelve and sixteen Privy Councillors, who served without salaries.
		In 1679 this was changed, and the number of Commissioners was reduced to seven, who were to receive salaries and need not be members of the Privy Council.
		This remained the case (although the number of Commissioners varied) until the Admiralty became part of the Ministry of Defence in 1964, with the exception of the years 1702 to 1709 and 1827 to 1828, when an individual Lord High Admiral was appointed.
