Note 395:2 — Chapter XXI
Reading edition
At one time the House of Lords held that a Scotch peer could not be given an hereditary seat as a peer of Great Britain; but this decision was afterwards reversed. Pike, 361-62. A peer so created can still vote for representatives as a Scotch peer. Ibid., 362-63. And there has been some doubt whether, if a representative peer, he vacates his seat at once. Ibid., 362, May, 13.
