After which he lived in retirement until the revolution, when espousing the cause of the Prince of Orange, he was deputed with the Marquess of Halifax, and the Earl of Shrewsbury, upon the arrival of the prince at Windsor, 17th December, 1688, to hear a message to the fallen monarch, requiring that his majesty should remove from Whitehall. An office which his Lordship executed so delicately that King JAMES was afterwards heard to remark; "that the Lord Delamere, whom he had used ill, treated him with much more regard, than those to whom he had been kind, and from whom he might better have expected it." His lordship was afterwards sworn of the privy council, and appointed chancellor of the exchequer, an office which he held but one year; when, upon his retirement, he was advanced to the dignity of EARL OF WARRINGTON, by letters patent, dated 17th April, 1690.

SIR WILLIAM BRADSHAW who is represented as a soldier and a traveller, assumed the Cross in the 8th of EDWARD II. and was absent from his lady ten years in the holy wars, which lady was Mabel, daughter and co-heir of Hugh Norris, Lord of Sutton, Raynhill, Whiston, Haigh, Black rode, and Westleigh, six manors. Sir William possessed as "his property" Haigh and Black rode, by a twelfth part of a knight's fee, as Hugh le Norris held the same, and as Mabel Bradshaigh, his wife held the same as heir of Hugh, for which they paid 3s. 8d. aid, temp EDWARD III. for making the King's eldest son a knight, as appears by the accounts of John Cockayne" late sheriff of that county. At that time Sir William made an alteration in the spelling of his name, changing the last syllable from SHAW to SHAICH," acquiring an addition of two martlets in his coat of arms, and a vine to his crest. During Sir William's protracted stay in Palestine, a report reached home that he had been slain, and on his return he found Mabel, his wife, acknowledging another lord, in the person of Sir Osmond Nevil, a Welch knight to whom she had been married. "Sir William returning," says an old writer, " came in a palmer's habit amongst the poor to Haigh, whom, as soon as his wife beheld, transported with the resembling idea of her former husband, fell a weeping, for which Sir Osmond gave her correction; Sir William thereupon

withdrew, and made himself known to his tenants, and upon intelligence of the discovery, Sir Osmund fled towards Wales, but near to Newton Park, in Lancashire, Sir William overtook and slew him. Mabel was enjoyned by her confessor to do penance while she lived, by going once every week bare-footed, and bare-legged from Haigh to a cross near Wigan, which from that occasion is called Mab's Cross to this day. They now both lie buried in Wigan Church, under a fair stone tomb adorned with two prostrate figures; the man in antique mail, cross-legged, unsheathing his sword, which hangs on his left side, and on his shoulder his shield, with two bends thereon; she is in a long robe, and veil'd, her hands elated, and conjoyned, in a praying posture; tho' they were formerly placed in a chapel on the south side of the chancel, belonging to the family, which chancel was in being in Mabel's time, as appears by ancient deeds. In the 19th of EDWARD II. Sir William, with John de Horneby, were returned knights of the shire for the county of Lancaster, to serve in the Parliament then to be held at Westminster, having allowance of £7. 14s. for twenty-two days attendance; to Sir William, at the rate of 4s. per day, and John de Horneby, 3s.
