At King Edward VII's Coronation the right to carry the Spurs was claimed by the same three but to neither was it fully allowed. As a matter of grace Lord de Ruthyn was appointed to carry one Spur and the Earl of Loudoun the other, but Lord Hastings failed in his submissions entirely to carry either Spur or the Sword. When King George was crowned the Lords de Ruthyn and Loudoun were again successful in establishing their right to carry the Spurs. More will be heard of- the claim probably in the next twelve mont Even among the clergy there is considerable jealousy of rights which it is alleged were the privilege of their predecessors, The Bishops of Durham and of Bath and Wells both claimed—success{ul at: the Inst Coronation the right to "support His Majesty and to have certain privileges." Their parts have been so long recognized as to be set out in the Liber Regalus drawn up for the Coronation of Richard It and now to be seen in Westminster Abbey. The claims had to be re-submitted, however, but invariably: they have been acknowledged without dispute, The case of the Bishops is that "The Bishops of Durham and of Bath and Wells have from time to time entered ye claim before ye Commissioners of Claims setting forth that their predecessors in these Sees from Yime Inmemorial were wont ollwales to support the King of England (ye first on his right hand and ye second on his left) in ye solemn procession and during ye whole service In ye church on ye day of their coronation."
