heir of Sir Nicholas le Strange; and secondly, to Sir Philip Woodhouse. The third son of William Yelverton, by his first wife, Anne Fermor, CHRISTOPHER YELVERTON, being bred to the bar, and called to the degree of serjeant-at-law, was constituted queen's serjeant, 31 ELIZABETH. In some years afterwards he was chosen speaker of the House of Commons, and in the 44th of the same reign he was constituted one of the judges of the court of King's Bench. On the accession of King JAMES his patent, as a judge, was renewed, and he was then made a knight. Sir Christopher m. Mary, daughter of Thomas Catesby, esq. of Whiston, in the county of Northampton, and had issue, HENRY, his successor. Christopher (Sir). Isabel, married to Sir Edward Cope, of Cannon's Anne, m. first, to Thomas Sherland, esq. of the Judith, m. to Edmund Abdy, esq. of Lincoln's Inn. His lordship d. in 1607, at Easton-Mauduit, a seat which he had purchased in Northamptonshire, and was s. by his elder son, HENRY YELVERTON, esq. of Easton-Mauduit. This gentleman having, like his father, adopted the profession of the law, was appointed solicitor-general in 1613, and knighted about the same period. In 1617 Sir Henry Yelverton was made attorney-general; previously, however, he is said to have displeased the king by refusing to appear against the Earl of Somerset, at his trial for the murder of Sir Thomas Overbury, and in the October of the year in which he was advanced to the attorney-generalship we find him writing a letter to his royal master, complaining of "his unhappiness to fall under his majesty's dis pleasure, who had made him almost the wonder of his favour; that he conceived it to arise from some accident, befel in the late business of the marriage of Sir John Villiers; as also from a report, as if he had uttered some speeches to the dishonour of the Earl of Buckingham." He pleaded his cause so successfully, however, that he very soon recovered any ground which he might have lost in JAMES's opinion, but he was not so fortunate with the Duke of Buckingham, who seems, for a long time afterwards, to have regarded him with an evil eye. In 1620, principally through the machinations of that favoured nobleman, he was involved, with the lord mayor of London, and others, in a Star-chamber prosecution, regarding the passing of certain clauses in a charter to the city of London, not authorized by the king's warrant; for this offence, although he made every submission, and that the charter was given up, he was adjudged to pay a fine of £4000, to be deprived of the office of attorney-general, and to be committed to the Tower. He was subsequently prosecuted before parliament upon another account, and the house of Lords, 16th May, 1621, proceeded to sentence, and declare, "that the said Sir Henry Yelverton, for his speeches, uttered here in court, which do touch the king's majesty's honour, shall be fined to the king in ten thousand marks, be imprisoned during pleasure, and make submission to the king; and for those which touched the Marquess of Buckingham, he should be fined five thousand marks, &c." Upon which Buckingham stood up, and did freely remit his portion of the fine; and the prince and the house agreed to move his majesty to mitigate the other part of the judgment. What proportion of the fine was ultimately forgiven is no where mentioned, but his misfortunes very soon afterwards terminated. The Duke of Buckingham visited him incognito in the Tower, and Sir Henry making a sufficient apology to his grace, he was presently set at liberty, and became again a practising barrister, until April, 1625, when a gentleman from the duke brought him a warrant from the king, appointing him one of the judges of the court of Common Pleas. In this situation he remained until his decease, 24th January, 1629-30, when his remains were interred in the parish church of Easton-Mauduit. His lordship m.

Thomas Forster, of Barbadoes, F.R.S. having evinced an early predilection for the sea-service, was introduced into the royal navy, under the auspices of Lord Mulgrave, on the 5th February, 1779, when he wanted some months of being eleven years of age, and made his first voyage to the East Indies, in the Burford, of seventy guns. From this period, Sir Edward was engaged in continual active service, and reaped an abundant harvest of laurel, during the war previous to the short peace of Amiens, having been the associate of the gallant Nelson, at the Nile, and in other great achievements. Upon the renewal of hostilities, Captain Berry again sailing under the command of the hero of the Nile, engaged in the van division of the fleet in the memorable engagement off Cape Trafalgar, on the 21st of October 1805, and, as usual, sustained his high and bravely-earned reputation. After this engagement, Sir Edward, (who had received the honour of knighthood, on the 12th December, 1798,) proceeded to the West Indies, in the same ship, the Agamemnon, and participated in the victory gained by Sir Thomas Duckworth, 6th February, 1806, off St. Domingo.

The present genealogy ascends to the reign of EDWARD IV. at which time they had large possessions in Caernarvonshire and Denbighshire, and were connected by marriage with some of the first families in the Principality. In the line of descent they stand thus: Hugh D'Albini, Humphrey Dalbin, John Dalbin, William Dalben; this last was rector of Stanwick, in Northamptonshire, and nominated bishop of Rochester, but died before consecration. He was first cousin to David Doulben, or Dolben, rector of Hackney and bishop of Bangor. JOHN DOLBEN, archbishop of York, prior to entering into holy orders, was a military officer, and distinguished himself upon active service during the civil wars, under the royal standard, particularly at the defence of York, where he was severely wounded. He was lord-high-almoner and clerk of the closet to CHARLES II. and, during the prohibition of the Liturgy, was accustomed to read it in a house opposite All Souls' College, of which a memorial is preserved in a fine painting, by Sir Peter Lily, at Finedon, a copy of which hangs in the hall of Christ Church, Oxford.
