The ceremony was performed by the late Rev. Dr. Staunton, in virtue of his tenure of the manor of ' Staunton,' commonly called 'Castle Guard,' with an appropriate speech to the Prince Regent (afterwards George IV.), when his Royal Highness honoured the Duke of Rutland with his presence at the christening of the present Duke, Jan., 1814.
