Having made the See also:grand tour he returned to See also:Ireland; and being employed by the See also:parliament in a See also:mission to the See also:duke of See also:Ormonde, now reduced to the last extremities, he succeeded in concluding a treaty with him on the 19th of See also:June 1647, thus securing the See also:country from See also:complete subjection to the rebels. In See also:April 1647 he was returned for See also:Radnorshire to the See also:House of See also:Commons. He supported the See also:parliamentary as against the republican or See also:army party, and appears to have been one of the members excluded in 1648. He sat in See also:Richard See also:Cromwell's parliament for Dublin See also:city, and endeavoured to take his seat in the restored Rump Parliament of 1659. He was made See also:president of the See also:council in See also:February 166o, and in the See also:Convention Parliament sat for See also:Carmarthen See also:- BOROUGH (A.S. nominative burh, dative byrig, which produces some of the place-names ending in bury, a sheltered or fortified place, the camp of refuge of a tribe, the stronghold of a chieftain; cf.

borough. The anarchy of the last months of the See also:commonwealth converted him to royalism, and he showed See also:great activity in bringing about the Restoration. He used his See also:influence in moderating See also:measures of revenge and violence, and while sitting in See also:judgment on the regicides was o1_ the See also:side of leniency. In See also:November r66o by his See also:father's See also:death he had become Viscount Valentia and Baron Mountnorris in the Irish See also:peerage, and on the loth April 1661 he was created Baron Annesley of See also:Newport Pagnell in See also:Buckinghamshire and earl of Anglesey in the peerage of Great See also:Britain. He supported the See also:- KING

king's See also:administration in parliament, but opposed strongly the unjust measure which, on the abolition of the See also:court of wards, placed the extra See also:burden of See also:taxation thus rendered necessary on the See also:excise. His services in the administration of Ireland were especially valuable. He filled the See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office of See also:vice-treasurer from 166o till 1667, served on the See also:committee for carrying out the See also:declaration for the See also:settlement of Ireland and on the committee for Irish affairs, while later, in 1671 and 1672, he was a leading member of various commissions appointed to investigate the working of the Acts of Settlement. In February 1661 he had obtained a captaincy of See also:horse, and in 1667 he exchanged his vice-treasuryship of Ireland for the treasuryship of the See also:navy. His public career was marked by great See also:independence and fidelity to principle. On the 24th of July 1663 he alone signed a protest against the See also:bill " for the encouragement of See also:trade," on the plea that owing to the See also:free export of See also:coin and See also:bullion allowed by the See also:act, and to the importation of See also:foreign commodities being greater than the export of See also:home goods, " it must necessarily follow . . . that our See also:silver will also be carried away into foreign parts and all trade fail for want of See also:money."' He especially disapproved of another clause in the same bill forbidding the importation of Irish See also:cattle into See also:England, a mischievous measure promoted by the duke of See also:- BUCKINGHAM

1667. This same See also:year his See also:naval accounts were subjected to an examination in consequence of his indignant refusal to take See also:part in the attack upon Ormonde;' and he was suspended from his office in 1668, no See also:charge,however, against him being substantiated. He took a prominent part in the dispute in 1671 between the two Houses concerning the right of the Lords to amend money bills, and wrote a learned pamphlet on the question entitled The Privileges of the House of Lords and Commons (1702), in which the right of the Lords was asserted. In April 1673 he was appointed See also:lord privy See also:seal, and was disappointed at not obtaining the great seal the same year on the removal of See also:Shaftesbury. In 1679 he was included in Sir W. See also:Temple's new-modelled council.

time Anglesey showed great moderation and See also:toleration. In 1674 he is mentioned as endeavouring to prevent the justices putting into :orce the See also:laws against the See also:Roman Catholics and Nonconformists.' In the panic of the " Popish See also:Plot " in 1678 he exhibited a saner judgment than most of his contemporaries and a conspicuous courage. On the 6th of See also:December he protested with three other peers against the m asure sent up from the Commons enforcing the disarming of all convicted recusants and taking See also:bail from them to keep the See also:peace; he was the only peer to dissent from the See also:motion declaring the existence of an Irish plot; and though believing in the See also:guilt and voting for the death of Lord See also:Stafford, he interceded, according to his own See also:account,' with the king for him as well as for See also:Langhorne and See also:Plunket. His See also:independent attitude See also:drew upon him an attack by See also:Dangerfield, and in the Commons by the See also:attorney-See also:general, Sir W. See also:- JONES

Jones, who accused him of endeavouring to stifle the See also:evidence against the Romanists. In See also:March 1679 he protested against the second See also:reading of the bill for disabling See also:Danby.
In 1681 Anglesey wrote A See also:Letter from a See also:Person of See also:Honour in the Country, as a rejoinder to the earl of Castlehaven, who had published See also:memoirs on the Irish See also:rebellion defending the See also:action of the Irish and the Roman Catholics. In so doing Anglesey was held by Ormonde to have censured his conduct and that of See also:Charles I. in concluding the " Cessation," and the duke brought the See also:matter before the council. In 1682 he wrote The Account of Arthur, Earl of Anglesey . . . of the true See also:state of Your See also:Majesty's See also:Government and See also:Kingdom, which was addressed to the king in a See also:tone of censure and remonstrance, but appears not to have been printed till 1694.' In consequence he was dismissed on the 9th of See also:August 1682 from the office of lord privy seal.

Fr. ataindre, ateindre, to attain, i.e. to strike, accuse, condemn; Lat. attingere, tangere, to touch; the meaning has been greatly affected by the confusion with Fr. taindre, teindre, to taint, stain, Lat. tingere, to dye)
attainder. He died at his home at Blechingdon in See also:Oxfordshire on the 26th of April 1686, closing a career marked by great ability, statesmanship and business capacity, and by conspicuous courage and independence of judgment. He amassed a large See also:fortune in Ireland, in which country he had been allotted lands by Cromwell.
The unfavourable See also:character See also:drawn of him by See also:Burnet is certainly unjust and not supported by any evidence. See also:Pepys, a far more trustworthy See also:judge, speaks of him invariably in terms of respect and approval as a " See also:grave, serious See also:man," and commends his See also:appointment as treasurer of the navy as that of "a very notable man and understanding and will do things See also:regular and understand them himself."5 He was a learned and cultivated man and collected a celebrated library, which was dispersed at his death. Besides the See also:pamphlets already mentioned, he wrote :—A True Account of the Whole Proceedings betwixt . . . the Duke of See also:Ormond and . . . the Earl of Anglesey (1682); A Letter of Remarks upon lovian (1683); other See also:works ascribed to him being The King's Right of See also:Indulgence in Matters Spiritual . . . asserted (1688); Truth Unveiled, to which is added a See also:short See also:Treatise on . . .
