Ends Old English Barony PERTH, and almost friendless, an old man died in the state hospital here, and it was not until then that it became known that he was Lord Sherard, twelfth baron of an ancient line. No doubt the title died with him. The barony of Sherard of Leitrim was founded in 1627, and the third baron was created an earl of Great Britain in 1714.

But with the sixth earl in 1859 the fortunes of the family fell into decline. Robert Castel Sherard, twelfth baron, for some years had eked out a meagre existence as a gold prospector in Australia.
