His Lordship is the nephew of Henry FitzWalter, Lord FitzWalter, in whose favour the abeyance then existing in the Barony was determined by His late Majesty King George V, and who took his seat in your Lordships' House on the 3rd December, 1924.
The Lord FitzWalter was then called in, and took and subscribed the Oath, pursuant to the Statute; and was placed on the Barons' Bench next below the Lord Hastings.
