SIR JOHN GRENVILLE, OR JOHN GLANVILLE, Until a short time since I had no doubt that it was Sir John Grenville, son of Sir Beville, and afterwards Earl of Bath. When writing my Of the four descriptions of the second member, the contemporaneous one is obviously of most weight, and if it be accepted as accurate the point is at once settled against Sir John Grenville and in favour of John Glanville, two very distinct personages in both family and historic importance. But before dismissing the matter so easily, all external evidence, or even reasonable conjecture, And first, apart from direct testimony, was it unbearing upon the point deserves to be considered. reasonable on the part of any local historian to claim the place for Sir John Grenville? The undisputed member for Newport in 1659, it must be recalled, was William Morice, the same to whom Beville Grenville had written twenty years previously, and a month before he was knighted, as "my most honor'd kinsman William Morice Esq. at Cherston" (Thurloe State Papers,' vol. i. pp. 2, 3), and further, according to Clarendon (xvi. 165), "his [Sir John's] father, sir Bevil Greenvil, who lost his life at the battle of Lansdown for the king, by his will commended his much impaired fortune and his wife and children to the use and counsel of his neighbour and friend Mr. Morrice, who had executed the trust with the utmost fidelity and friendship." Morice, moreover, who was thus most closely associated with Sir John Grenville, possessed at this period considerable influence at Newport, cwing to his purchase some years before from Sir Francis Drake of the Werrington estate, which for centuries controlled the elections there; while Sir John Grenville was the eldest son of one who had represented in four Parliaments the contiguous borough of Launceston-Launceston and Newport, indeed, being only halves of the same town-and whose name was held in highest honour in the district. But Clarendon's description of Sir John Grenville (xvi. 165) "There was then [just before the Restoration] in the town a gentleman well known to be a servant of trust to the king, sir John Greenvil, who from the time of the surrender of Scilly had enjoyed his estate and liberty, though, under the jealousy of a disaffected person, often restrained"-indicates how unlikely he was to have sat in Richard Cromwell's Parliament. This is confirmed by two extracts from the 'Calendar of Domestic State Papers,' 1659-60, according to one of which (p. 38) the Council of State on July 22, 1659, after consideration of " Major Dewy's letter about Sir John Grenville," ordered the latter to be apprehended, while the second (p. 43) is as follows: "July 26. Whitehall. Pres. Johnston to Maj. Dewey, captain of the Militia troop in co. Dorset. On your information concerning the detention on the road of Sir Jno. Grenville's servant and horses, Council sent for Sir John, and received his parole for his peaceful demeanour and submission to the present Government, and have allowed him to repair to his habitation in Cornwall, and have ordered release of his servants and horses, which is accordingly signified to you that you may set them at liberty." ton,' p. 406), and his son, Sir John Glanville, the younger, Speaker of the Short Parliament, was its Recorder in 1621 (ibid.), while collaterals held prominent positions in the town and district right up to the Restoration period. To the John Glanville under notice no local allusion can be found, but the following extract from the 'Calendar of the Committee for Advance of Money, Domestic,' 1642-1656 (part i. p. 409) is to be noted:"18 May 1646. The assessment of John, alias Wm. Glanville of Lincoln's Inn, his [Sir John's] younger son, taken off, he having no estate, but a small exhibition." No assistance upon the point under inquiry is to be obtained from Burton's Diary,' in which neither a Grenville nor a Glanville (except in the most incidental fashion Serjeant Glanville) is mentioned during this Parliament; and though in the 'Commons' Journals' "Mr. Greenvile" twice figures (vii. 595-639) and "Mr. Grenvile" once (ibid., 639), he may be identified as Richard Grenville, who, though not given in the Blue-book, sat for Bucks ('Parliamentary History,' vol. iii. p. 1530) as he had in previous parliaments; that the "Mr. Greenvile" in question was an old member being fairly to be concluded from the fact that, imme It may be added that the next mention of Gren-diately upon the opening of the House of Commons ville in the State Papers is on May 1, 1660, when he brought to the Parliament the letter of Charles II. from Breda (ibid., p. 428). In considering the case for John Glanville, I think the "Sir John Glanville," previously referred to, of the 'Parliamentary History,' may be set aside without discussion. That work, which gives "John Glanville" as simultaneously sitting for St. Germans, has evidently transposed the names, for there is no doubt that it was Sir John who then represented the latter, the entry (603) being clear. But who, then, was "John Glanville Esq. of the City of London," and what connexion was there between any such person and the borough of Newport that would make it probable he once represented it? Mr. Pink assumes that he was the third son of Speaker Glanville, but writes me: "There does not appear to be anything of much assistance anent the point to be gleaned from the Glanville history. The only allusion to John, third son of the Speaker, is to the effect that his reputation as a lawyer was high, but he did not attain to the same position as his father or grandfather had done. In the earlier portion of his life, before he became the possessor of Broad Hinton, he resided in the City of Exeter, but upon the death of his brother William, in 1680, he removed into Wilts, and remained there until his death. This does not, I admit, appear very confirmatory of the supposition of his being the John Glanville Esq. of the City of London,' but most barristers in practice had London offices." under notice, he was appointed upon the Committee of Elections (January 28, 1658/9, 'Commons' Journals,' vii. 595). The most direct evidence, however, so far as it can as yet he gathered, seems to settle the long doubtful point as to the membership for Newport in 1659; but I should be glad to know more concerning John Glanville.
