Lords roll call lists royal princes and two high peers
A London Times report details the fourth session Lords roll with peers ranked by pall. It notes five royal princes head the list and two senior peers, Lord Alcester and Lord Wolseley, appear, though a numbering discrepancy exists due to double listings. It also cites roles like Lord Spencer and Lord Carlingford in precedence. An Adams note mentions Ireland and Scotland titles alongside officeholds. The piece includes an Ohio company ad for ladies' stocking supporters and skirt suspenders urging female agency recruitment in Cincinnati.
