He was in parliament for Cockermouth and for the county of Northumberland, 23 JAMES I, and 1, 12, 13, 15, and 16 CHARLES 1. which last named king, in 1628, created him a baronet. As a member of the House of Commons in the long parliament, his loyalty was so conspicuous as to procure him the honour of being put into the band of brave men, who, on January 22, 1643, were discharged and disabled for sitting and being any longer members of the House during that parliament, for deserting the service of the house, and being in the king's quarters, and adhering to that party. He died about 1658.

II. SIR WILLIAM FENWICKE, of Wallington, aged forty-five in 1666, who was returned in 1643, to the long parliament in the room of his father, then discharged from it, and became a stanch supporter of the Commonwealth. He died in 1676, and left by Jane, his wife, daughter of Henry Stapleton, esq. of Wighill, Yorkshire, a son and heir,

III. SIR JOHN FENWICKE, of Fenwicke and Wallington, a member of the healing parliament 25th April, 1660, and of the successive parliaments of CHARLES II. and JAMES II. He, Sir John, possessed considerable talent, and was romantically attached to the House of Stuart, but his "moral character," as a supporter of him in his trial observed, "was none of the best." He alienated the estates of a long line of ancestry, was attainted of high treason, and beheaded; but he had splendid traits in his character, and good men pitied his death on account of the harsh and unconstitutional measure by which it was accomplished. After the great fire of London in 1666, he built the great Hall in Christ's Hospital, in which the boys dine and sup. His restless spirit had led him, in the year 1694, to assist in concerting plans for the restoration of King JAMES II. but in 1696, finding that govern. ment was acquainted with his proceedings, he set out for France, but was apprehended at New Romney, in Kent, committed to the tower, and indicted at the Old Bailey on the oaths of George Porter, esq. and Cordel Goodman, gent. on the 28th of May of that year, for "compassing and imagining the death and destruction of the king, and adhering to his enemies," and finding his case a bad one, he and his friends, by various plans and suggestions, got his trial put off till they had succeeded by golden persuasions in removing Goodman out of the country. There was therefore now only one witness against him, and as parliament had just before passed a law "That no person should be tried or attainted of high treason, when corruption of blood is incurred, but by the oath of two lawful witnesses, unless the party confess, stand mute," &c. he probably began to rely on the uniform practice of the bench to judge by law or precedent, and to hope that proceedings against him would be stayed. He was advised too to try the experiment of softening William's heart, by a full disclosure of his own and his confederates' guilt in a written account of their plans

and proceedings. Besides the persons immediately engaged with him in "the plot," Admiral Russell, Lord Marlborough, the Duke of Shrewsbury, Lords Godolphin and Both, Sir Ralph Delaval, and others, all eminently known and believed to be in the interest of the government, and none but which were in some post of trust and employment in it, were accused in his informations, "of correspondencies and intrigues carried on with the court of St. Germain, and though this account is known now to be true in every particular, it neither gained William's favour, nor served the design of Fenwicke. William indeed is said to have entertained a personal enmity against Fenwicke, for some expressions reflecting on his conduct, when he served in the army in Holland. On the 6th of November, 1696, the king laid these informations before the House of Commons, which brought in a bill of attainder against him, summoned him to its bar, and endeavoured to draw further confession from him, which he steadily declined to do, alleging that he had made a full disclosure to the king. The bill was supported and opposed with great zeal and ability. Powerful arguments were advanced to justify parliament in proceeding to judgment upon bills of attainder, contrary to the rules and maxims of Westminster Hall. On the opposite side it was shewn that parliament could not consistently move an enactment contrary to the salutary law it had passed in the last session, that no one should be convicted of treason but on the oath of two witnesses. But the stern spirit that ruled the land in William's day was a stranger to mercy: Sir John was condemned by a law made on purpose to stain the scaffold with his blood, made after the crime was done for which he was accused by a guilty oppressor, a proceeding" which cannot be too much condemned as a breach of the most sacred and unalterable rules of justice," which will stand as a lasting reproach upon the persons who commenced and supported it. The ayes for the act were 189, noes 156, majority 33. In the House of Lords the majority was only seven, and forty peers, seven of whom were bishops, entered their protest against it. One act of mercy was allowed to Sir John, he was not dragged through the street to be hanged at Tyburn as the law required, but the king in consideration it is supposed of the high rank of Lady Fenwicke, by his writ of 18th January, 1697, omitted all execution of the act of forfeiture except beheading him on Tower Hill, which was done on the 27th of that month. He met his fate with great firmness and composure in the fifty-second year of his age. His body was buried near the altar of St. Martin's church, near those of his three sons, Charles, who died s. p. of the small-pox, aged sixteen, William died, aged six years, Howard died, aged one and a-half, all buried in St. Martins, London. His only daughter and eldest child, Jane Fenwicke, was buried in St. Nicholas, Newcastle. Sir John's wife was Lady Mary Howard, eldest daughter of Charles, Earl of Carlisle. This faithful and amiable lady exerted herself with the most devoted zeal and tenderness to save the life of her husband. She endeavoured with the agency of one Chancy to get the two witnesses to withdraw, and succeeded with Goodman, but the upright Captain Porter after taking a bribe of £300, made a discovery to government. She also requested to be a sharer with him in his confinement, which he would not permit, because "he knew it would kill her." The following inscription is on a monument in the Howard aisle, in York Cathedral. "This monumental pillar is erected and dedicated by the Right Honourable the Lady Mary Fenwicke, eldest daughter to Charles Howard, Earl of Carlisle, as a testimony of respect to the memory of Sir John Fen
