Humphrys Gentleman, who, under His Majesty's
Royal Licence, sometime since took upon himself the
Sirname of Alexander, has assumed the Title of and
styles himself Earl of Stirling in Scotland, and, in or
about the Month of June 1825, attended at the Palace
of Holyrood House, and there claimed to vote as Earl
of Stirling upon the Election of The Lord Viscount
Strathallan to be a Representative Peer for Scotland in
the Room of Alexander Earl of Balcarres, then lately
deceased; and that, notwithstanding he never has
established a Right to the Title so assumed by him, he
was at that Election permitted to vote, and did vote as
Earl of Stirling, without any Proof or Examination to
shew that he was entitled so to do, and he still continues openly and publicly to style and designate
himself Earl of Stirling: That by certain Letters
Patent granted by His late Majesty King Charles the
First, dated on or about the 14th Day of June 1633,
William then Viscount of Stirling was created Earl of
Stirling, Viscount of Canada, and Lord Alexander of
Tullibodie, with Remainder to his Heirs Male for ever;
and that in the Year 1739, upon the Decease of Henry
the Fifth and last Earl of Stirling, without Issue, the
Petitioner is advised the said Title and Dignity of
Earl of Stirling, as well as those of Viscount of Canada
and Lord Alexander, became extinct: That the Petitioner has however been informed that the said Alexander Humphrys Alexander pretends and insists that His
said late Majesty King Charles the First, by a Royal
Charter under the Great Seal of Scotland, did, upon a
Surrender of the said Letters Patent of 1633, re-grant
to the said William First Earl of Stirling the Titles of
Earl of Stirling, Viscount of Canada, and Lord Alexander of Tullibodie, with Remainder to the Heirs Male
of his Body, which failing, to the eldest Heirs Female
without Division of the last of such Heirs Male thereafter succeeding to the Titles, Honours and Dignities
aforesaid, and to the Heirs Male of such Heirs Female,
respectively bearing the Sirname and Arms of Alexander, and that he the said Alexander Humphrys
Alexander, having taken upon himself the Sirname and
used the Arms of Alexander, is under such pretended
Charter in some Manner become entitled to assume the
said Titles and Dignities: That the Petitioner has
been informed that no Record or Evidence of any such
Charter as that under which the said Alexander
Humphrys Alexander claims those Titles and Dignities
can be found, and it is not believed that the same was
ever granted, and that consequently he is not entitled
to assume the same; but the Petitioner is advised, that
if it should, notwithstanding, appear or be shewn that
the said Letters Patent of 1633 were surrendered, and
that the said Titles and Dignities were re-granted, with
such Limitations to Heirs Female, as so pretended and
alleged by the said Alexander Humphrys Alexander as
aforesaid, then that the Petitioner, as being the lineal
Descendant of the Lady Judith Alexander, who was the
Sister of the said Henry Fifth Earl of Stirling, is
entitled to the said Honours, Titles and Dignities so
claimed and usurped by the said Alexander Humphrys
Alexander as before mentioned;" and therefore praying
their Lordships "to order that the said Alexander Humphrys Alexander may be required to shew by what Authority he assumed the said Titles, and claimed to vote and
did vote as Earl of Stirling at the said Election of a
Representative Peer for Scotland as aforesaid; and that,
until he shall by due Course of Law have proved his
Right to the said Titles and Dignities, he may be
enjoined not to presume to use the same, or again to
exercise the Privileges thereof; or that their Lordships
will be pleased to make such other Order therein as to
them may appear to be most proper for the Protection
of the Rights and Privileges of the Peerage, and of the
