The peerage now becomes extinct.

Sadly indeed, though I have never understood why Debretts listed
collateral in the male line that were never in remainder to the
viscountcy? i.e the issue of an uncle b 1911 and the deceased brother
of 1st viscount. Does anyone know what the acreage is of the
Snairlsworth estate?

I see the latest (2008) edition of Debrett's doesn't list the
collaterals not in remainder, although my 1995 edition does. It's a
mystery as to why. My guess would be that the Viscount specially
requested it, but who knows? I've also drawn a blank on SNILESWORTH.
Cahill (Who Owns Britain) is silent on the subject. And a quick
internet trawl produces nothing (other than a story on the conviction
of three gamekeepers in Feb this year for setting illegal traps).

I think that I read somewhere once that it was five thousand acres but
I am not sure? The 2000 edition lists the collaterals who are not in
remainder too, this is not the only time in Debretts that some who are
not in remainder have been included, check out the Dukedom of St
Albans.

[Richard R]

Personally I don't have a problem with Debrett's listed collaterals
not in line since it gives me more of the family's genealogy than
might otherwise be easily available to me. So long as they make it
clear they're not in line (and they do) then I'm fine with it

Not with the St Albans one they didn't but you quite right if it is
clearly stated then so be it.

[Richard R]

Well they must have taken your concerns to heart since the family
entry in the latest (2008) edition ends with the descendents of the
5th son of the 1st Duke of St Albans. I don't have the 2000 edition to
hand so can't check that entry

Although the viscountcy was a fairly new one (1956), it's always a
shame when a hereditary peerage becomes extinct.

Indeed. Richard Peake was a tragic figure. The details of his
final moments - a clifftop struggle in the fog - makes gruesome
reading.

St Albans is still showing the male issue of Hermonie de Vere
Beauclerk b 1915 d 1969, this entry should have been removed at her
death, her issue are not in remainder unless the dukedom is suddenly
to the heirs general?

[Richard R]

Quite frankly I have no problem with this, for the reason listed in my
18 Oct message. It's also interesting in this particular case as her
son, Peter de Vere BEAUCLERK-DEWAR holds or has held several official
positions (Q's bodyguard for Scot, Court of Lord Lyon, etc) and writes
on subjects that interest our group (editor of BLG Scotland, etc). Nor
do I think we need it spelt out to us that they're not in remainder.
People who understand how these things work KNOW they're not in line.
And for those who don't, they can join our group and ask us!

The 2nd Viscount Ingleby, who died on October 14 aged 82, was a
wheelchair-bound champion of the disabled with a powerful evangelical
faith and a passion for forestry. He was one of the quartet of
disabled peers known as the "Mobile Bench", which had a crossbench
removed in the House of Lords so they could speak in the debate over
the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act in 1970.

What happened? He fell off Beachy Head, per the obits.

He had been suicidal for some time and in hospital. On the day of his
death he discharged himself from a London hospital and went with a
friend to Beachy Head. They sat and talked for a long time, but the
Richard ran to the edge of the cliff
and his friend tried to restrain him, holding him by the coat and
collar. "You're coming with me" said Richard, and
with that the friend let go and over he went. An open verdict was
returned at the inquest even though it was clear to all that the boy
wanted to end his life. The question has to be posed: why did the
friend drive a depressed and suicidal Richard Peake to the most
notorious "death leap" spot in the UK?
