Towards the close of the eighteenth century the old landed families, who alone beside the Church were there represented, were furiously disgusted at the accession to their ranks of large bodies of commercial and pro- fessional gentry. Again, in 1856, there was a storm in the House over the granting of a life- peerage to Lord Wensleydale ; the highest legal and historical authorities, however, main- tained that it was the ancient right and privilege of the Crown to create life-peers ; and in 188...7 the Appellate Jurisdiction Act was passed, in accordance with which certain Law-lords now take their seats for life ex officio. Finally, in the last twenty years, classes of men have been admitted to the House whom even George HI would not have dared to propose.
