Item description from seller

The Aftermath of a Dramatic Estate Case [House of Lords]. Minutes of the Proceedings Before the Lords Committees for Privileges, On the Claim to the Title of Earl of Anglesey. [Dublin: S.n.], Printed in the Year 1771. 64 pp. Octavo (7-1/4" x 4-3/4"). Stab-stitched pamphlet in marbled wrappers. Faint vertical fold line, light rubbing to wrappers, moderate rubbing to spine, which has a few small tears, lower corners of wrappers and first and final several leaves folded. Light toning, date of printing corrected to 1772 in an early hand, internally clean. $650. * Only edition. In 1741, James Annesley appeared in England with a sensational claim: at the age of 12, his uncle Richard Annesley had him kidnapped and shipped to a Delaware plantation. In his absence, Richard succeeded to the title of Earl of Anglesey. James escaped and returned to Ireland to claim his title after his discharge. His ejectment claim was successful and the estates returned to him, but he did not obtain his title before his death in 1761. After his death, Richard's widow Anne attempted to retain the title of Countess of Anglesey for herself and her daughters, but her claim was denied by the House of Lords. OCLC and the ESTC locate 5 copies of this title, 2 in North America (Columbia, Huntington Library). English Short-Title Catalogue T205864.…
