Lord Strickland held a number of colonial governorships-Antigua,Western Australia and New South Wales.He had a fiery temper said to have come from his Maltese ancestors.He was disliked by the members of the Colonial Office who satirised his Maltese title(Count della Catenna) as Count Delicatessen.

I'd love to see that quote. How funny and yes, fiery Maltese temper indeed. He went to court with a number of other Maltese nobleman.. Also was Prime Minister of Malta.
