scheme of reclamation and dock-construction. This was completed in 1854, and subsequent extensions were made. There are two large See also:fish-docks, and, for See also:general See also:traffic, the Royal dock, communicating with the Humber through a tidal See also:basin, the small See also:Union dock, and the extensive Alexandra dock, together with graving docks, See also:timber yards, a patent slip, &c. These docks have an See also:area of about Io4 acres, but were found insufficient for the •growing traffic of the See also:port, and in 1906 the construction of a large new dock, of about 4o acres' area and 30 to 35 ft. See also:depth,' was undertaken by the Great Central See also:Company at Immingham, 5 m. above Grimsby on the Humber.

A governing charter, under the See also:title of mayor and burgesses, was given by James II. in 1688, and under this the See also:appointment of See also:officers and other of the See also:corporation, arrangements are to a great extent regulated.

time of See also:Edward III. Grimsby was an important seaport, but the haven became obstructed ' by See also:sand and mud deposited by the Humber, and so the See also:access of large vessels was prevented. At the beginning of the 19th century a subscription was raised by the proprietors of See also:land in the neighbourhood for improving the harbour, and an See also:act was obtained by which they were incorporated under the title The Grimsby Haven Co." The fishing See also:trade had become so important by 1800 that it, was necessary to Construct a new dock.
GRIMSTON;See also:SIR HARBOTTLE (1603-1685), English politician., second son of Sir Harbottle Grimston, See also:Bart.
(d. 1648), was See also:born
at Bradfield Hall, near Manningtree, on the 27th of See also:January 1603. Educated at See also:Emmanuel See also:College, See also:Cambridge, he became a See also:barrister of See also:Lincoln's See also:Inn, then See also:recorder of See also:Harwich and recorder of See also:Colchester. As member for Colchester, Grimston sat in the See also:Short Parliament of 164o, and he represented the same borough during the See also:Long Parliament, speedily becoming a leading member of the popular party. He attacked See also:Archbishop See also:Laud with great vigour; was a member of the important committees of the parliament, including the one appointed in consequence of the attempted seizure of the five members; and became See also:deputy-See also:lieutenant of See also:Essex after the passing of the See also:militia See also:ordinance in January 1642. He disliked taking up arms against the king, but remained nominally an adherent of the parliamentary party during the See also:Civil See also:War. In the words of See also:Clarendon, he " continued rather than concurred with them." Grimston does not appear to have taken the See also:Solemn See also:League and See also:Covenant, but after the conclusion of the first See also:period of the war he again became more active. He was See also:president of the See also:committee which investigated the See also:- ESCAPE (in mid. Eng. eschape or escape, from the O. Fr. eschapper, modern echapper, and escaper, low Lat. escapium, from ex, out of, and cappa, cape, cloak; cf. for the sense development the Gr. iichueoOat, literally to put off one's clothes, hence to sli
escape of the king from See also:Hampton See also:Court in 1647, and was one of those who negotiated with See also:Charles at See also:Newport in 1648, when, according to See also:Burnet, he See also:fell upon his knees and urged the king to come to terms. From this time Grimston's sympathies appear to have been with the Royalists. Turned out of the House of See also:Commons when the See also:assembly was " purged " by See also:colonel See also:Pride, he was imprisoned; but was released after promising to do nothing detrimental to the parliament or the See also:army, and spent the next few years in retirement. Before this time, his See also:elder See also:brother having already died, he had succeeded his See also:father as znd See also:baronet. In 1656 Sir Harbottle was returned to See also:Cromwell's second parliament as member for Essex; but he was not allowed to take his seat; and with 97 others who were similarly treated he issued a remonstrance to the public. He was among the secluded members who re-entered the Lcng Parliament in See also:February ,66o, was then a member of the See also:council of See also:state, and was chosen See also:Speaker of the House of Commons in the See also:Convention Parliament of 166o. As Speaker he visited Charles II. at See also:Breda, and addressed him in very flattering terms on his return to London; but he refused to accede to the king's demand that he should dismiss Burnet from his position as See also:chaplain to the See also:Master of the Rolls, and in parliament he strongly denounced any relaxation of the See also:laws against papists. Grimston did not retain 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 Speaker after the See also:dissolution of the Convention Parliament, but he was a member of the See also:commission which tried the regicides, and in See also:November 166o he was appointed Master of the Rolls. See also:Report says he paid Clarendon £8000 for the office, while Burnet declares he obtained it " without any application of his own." He died on the znd of January 1685. His friend and chaplain, Burnet, speaks very highly of his piety and impartiality, while not omitting the undoubted fact that he was " much sharpened against popery." He translated the law reports of his father-in-law, the See also:judge, Sir See also:George Croke {1560–1642), which were written in See also:Norman-See also:French, and five See also:editions of this See also:work have appeared. Seven of his parliamentary speeches were published, and he also wrote Strena Christiana (London, 1644, and other editions). Grimston's first wife, Croke's daughter See also:Mary, See also:bore him six sons and two daughters; and by his second wife, See also:Anne, daughter and heiress of Sir Nathaniel Bacon, K.B., a See also:grandson of Sir See also:Nicholas Bacon, he had one daughter.
Of his sons one only, See also:Samuel (1643–1700), survived his father, and when he died in October 1700 the baronetcy became See also:extinct. Sir Harbottle's eldest daughter, Mary, married Sir See also:Capel Luckyn, Bart., and their grandson, See also:- WILLIAM

He was succeeded as 2nd viscount by his son James (1711–1773), whose son James Bucknall (1747–1808) was made an English peer as baron Verulam of Gorhambury in 1790. Then in 1815 his son James See also:Walter (1775–1845), 2nd baron Verulam, was created See also:earl of Verulam, and the See also:present peer is his See also:direct descendant.
