Charles, marquess The Lords Justices appointed since the act of Legislative Union have been, usually, the head of the Church, of the Army, and the Law; and they have held the appointments for very limited periods, confining their functions to merely routine affairs. The absences of the viceroys were, formerly, of some duration; whereas, latterly, they have been short and few. It is judged unnecessary, therefore, to notice the appointments of Lords Justices since the period of the Union, in 1801.

CHIEF SECRETARIES TO THE LORD-LIEUTENANT, AND CHIEF SECRETARIES FOR IRELAND. • The founder of the Hutchinson family, earls of Donoughmore. He was principal secretary of state, prime serjeant-at-law, provost of the university of Dublin, and had such an avidity for office, and accumulated so many lucrative appointments and honours, and obtained so many for his family and friends in the revenue, the army, the law, &c., that it was said by lord North, on his application for some new place that had just become vacant, If England and Ireland were given to this man, he would solicit the Isle of Man for a potato-garden." |
