The Earl of Carysfort, mover of the address in the House of Lords, 1869. Engraving from a photograph by John Watkins. '...the Right Hon. Granville Leveson Proby, fourth Earl of Carysfort, in the Peerage of Ireland, and Baron Carysfort...has been in the Army, his latest commission being that of Captain in the 74th Highlanders. Having been elected member for the county of Wicklow in February, 1858, he so far devoted himself to politics; and in 1859...he was appointed Comptroller of her Majesty's Household...Having acceded to the Peerage before the present Administration came into office, and it being usual that the Comptroller of the Household should be a member of the House of Commons, he was not reappointed to his former post. As Lord Proby in the House of Commons he was well known as being, perhaps, the most accurately-dressed gentleman in that assembly, and also for his occasional appearances at the bar...when he always exhibited some marks of elocutionary power in reading those documents. He, however, gave no other indication of qualifications as a speaker; but when he moved the Address in the Lords the other day, he showed that he was master of the situation by delivering remarkably well a very good speech'. From "Illustrated London News", 1869.
