Peerage Cases A collection of papers relating to peerage cases before the Committee for Privileges of the House of Lords mostly brought during the 19th century. 16 volumes, folio, modern legal buckram, red leather labels. (17) Note: An important archive of productions, minutes of evidence, genealogical tables, lists of muniments, facsimiles of charters, etc., mostly printed but some in MS., for many of the major peerage cases of the 19th century, collected by Sheriff Bogie and bound by him. Papers relate to the following claims: Airth, Albermarle, Annandale, Berkeley, Belhaven, Burleigh, Crawfurd, Dingwall, Herries, Kinloss, Lauderdale, Lennox, Lindsay, Mar, Montrose, Marchmont, Mowbray, Newburgh, Polwarth, Ruthven, Southesk, Strange, Wiltes & Winton. Many of these claims extended down the years. Papers relating to claims for the Annandale peerage date from 1876, but it was not finally settled until 1985, largely as a result of research and opinions produced by Sheriff Bogie.
