Glanville, who more than once, in his character of burgess for Plymouth, had been little friendly to the prerogative of the Crown; nevertheless, on seeing to what extremities the factious and discontented were disposed to carry all things in their efforts to subvert the Church, the monarchy, and the laws, proved himself active in their defence. In the following year (1641) he received the honour of knighthood from the hand of Charles I.

It is not a little remarkable, that though he filled the office of Speaker at a time when the stormy debates were carried on, and often interposed his authority to maintain the rules and order of proceeding, which so many were disposed to subvert, his popularity remained unshaken, and he was held in universal respect, though known to have the King's interest at heart, and to be devoted to his service.

Glanville lost no whit of the attention paid to him, till the factious became openly the rebellious, and war was proclaimed on either side. It was then that his enemies, who were the King's also, having him entirely within their own power, and finding he was not to be shaken, conferred on him the highest honour he had yet attained that of being made a sufferer in a righteous cause. Before matters, however, had arrived at an open rupture between the King and the Commons, Glanville particularly distinguished himself in the Committee respecting subsidies, which, by a message through Sir Harry Vane, Charles had requested might be granted to him in lieu of ship-money, adjudged to be his right, but which he would not insist upon, out of affection to his people, since they were unwilling to pay it. Deprived of these means by his own forbearance, he prayed the Parliament to grant the supplies that he found so absolutely necessary at such a crisis. This allusion to "right" and "ship-money" was exceedingly offensive to some of the more violent members; after a sharp debate it was resolved to go again into Committee of the whole House; and all present seemed to wish "that whatsoever," says Clarendon, "they should give the King should be a free testimony of their affection and duty, without any release of ship-money, which deserved no consideration, but in a short time would appear null and void."

Hampden, the most popular and most wily man among them, and who had so lately defended the ship-money suit against the Crown, did not lose such a moment as this; and judging the subject ripe for the question, desired it might be put"Whether the House would consent to the proposition made by the King, as it was contained in the message of Sir Harry Vane." This he well knew would be sure to meet with a negative from all who thought the sum too great, and were not pleased that it should be given in lieu of ship-money, though the King had said nothing more than the whole House knew to be truth; namely, that it had been adjudged his right; and his offer to waive this right, from love to his people, would have been hailed as a proof of his desire to render them happy, and to conciliate them, by any other than men who had determined that the poor King never should be right till wrong had hurled him from the throne. At this call of "Question" Serjeant Glanville (as one of the members only in Committee) rose; and though he seldom spoke on such occasions, yet now, in what Clarendon calls "a most pathetical speech," in which he excelled, he endeavoured to prevail with the House to entertain freely and grant the King's desire, as an act that would prove of great benefit to the nation at large, inasmuch as it could not fail to reconcile his Majesty to Parliament for ever, by a ready testimony of their affection. After having endeavoured to raise in his hearers a kind and dutiful feeling towards the King, he next shewed them, in the clearest manner, how very inconsiderable would be the subsidy to those, taken individually, by whose contributions it must be raised. The Serjeant had computed his own assessment; he named the sum to which it would amount; and all present knowing how large was his estate, and therefore that most men would have far less to pay, the matter appeared too insignificant to be worthy any more debating.

Glanville saw the powerful impression he had made by his eloquent appeal; he had stirred up some feeling of generosity, towards the King; and had shewn, by the simplest and most certain test - that of an arithmetical calculation - how little such generosity would really cost themselves. Willing therefore still further to conciliate them, he let the House know that, in matters of law affecting right, he was as jealous as themselves; and he let fall in his zeal some severe expressions against the impost of ship-money, and against the judgment lately given in its favour. "This," says Clarendon, "from one known to be very learned, how necessary and artificial soever to reconcile the affections of the House to the matter in question, very much irreconciled him at Court, and to those upon whom he had the greatest dependence, though there was scarce ever a speech that more gathered up and united the inclinations of a popular council to the Speaker; and if the question had been presently put, it was believed the number of the dissenters would not have appeared great." The failure of this affair of the subsidies, principally by the mismanagement and misrepresentation of Sir Harry Vane, who so often betrayed the King, whilst pretending to serve him, caused the speedy dissolution of that Parliament, which Charles too soon had bitter cause to lament. Some factious spirits - Hampden, St. John, and Pym at their head - rejoiced at it; but all who wished well to the King and to the country saw that, taken in the aggregate, such a number of dispassionate and well-intentioned men would not be returned again; and that in another House, which Charles would too soon be obliged to call, the factious would return no representatives but such as were willing to go all lengths with the evil spirit of the times. Dissolving a Parliament such as this at a crisis when the elements of rebellion were gathering strength, and combining their several powers before the bursting of the storm, was, on the part of the King, most unwise. Charles never recovered that false step of ill-advised policy; and when he was forced to leave the treasonable Parliament which he afterwards called, and which but too soon hastened his ruin, his faithful Speaker, Glanville, followed him to Oxford, where he devoted all the energies of a mind naturally energetic to the service of his prince. At Oxford, with some other loyalists of great merit, in a public convocation, he was created Doctor of Civil Law, in 1643. And being now considered by the rebels "a desperate malignant," in the year 1645 they disabled him from sitting as a member at Westminster.

Shortly after returning to his own home in Devon, the King's cause no sooner declined in the west than he was seized and committed to prison (probably at Exeter), and there remained a long while in captivity. He was not released till the year 1648, when he bought his liberty by a heavy fine being laid on his estates. Loyd, in his 'Loyal Sufferers,' gives the highest character of Glanville, and from him we learn that this imprisonment was not the first to which the Serjeant had been exposed. He states that Glanville's first durance was on shipboard, 1636, for having spoken his mind too freely on some points respecting the prerogative; that afterwards he suffered six several hard imprisonments (one of which was two years in the Tower of London) for declaring himself "as honestly in some law points against a treasonable popularity;" and so high did his character stand in the estimation of all men, that, notwithstanding his so recent captivity, the University of Oxford, ever honourable and consistent, even under the most dangerous circumstances and times, was bold enough to return Sir John Glanville as her burgess in one of the Parliaments held in the days of the usurper. But Glanville's attachment to the exiled family of the murdered King was known to be unshaken; he was not, therefore, suffered to take his seat. His spirit undaunted by those who, in this arbitrary manner, had opposed his just election, determined him, if Parliament could not aid him in asserting the rights of the injured in the general assembly of his countrymen, that he would defend them as long as the law remained unsubverted to bear him out, and he now pleaded openly as a lawyer the causes of many a vanished Royalist - amongst others, those of Lord Craven and Sir John Stawel, the latter being a prisoner, and particularly obnoxious to many who then held the reins of Government in their own hands.

In 1643, an unsuccessful attempt was made to bring to trial at Salisbury the Earls of Pembroke and Northumberland, and several members of the Commons; they were charged with the crime of High Treason, and a Commission was issued to Justices Heath, Bankes, Foster, and Glanville, who went to the city to try them, but the Grand Jury refused to find the bill, and the House of Commons retaliated by impeaching the Judges themselves, who had ventured to act under the King's authority. [fn 126]

"7th August, 1648, in the Lords, - Whereas Sir John Glanville of Broad Hinton, Knight, Serjeant-at-Law, hath been referred, by order of the Commons, to the Committee for the advance of money, etc., to compound for his delinquency, and five and twentieth part, he having left his habitation, and gone and resided in Oxford, the enemy's garrison; which Committee proceeded to a fine with him for £2320, whereof £1350 is satisfied by the Rectory and impropriate of Lambton, com. Devon; so that only £970 remains to be paid. The Lords and Commons approve the said composition, and ordain, that, for his five and twentieth part, he pay only the fifth part of the yearly revenue of his lands, and he is hereby discharged of his imprisonment, and of his bail. And his Majesty's Solicitor-General is to prepare a pardon for him with restoration to him, his heirs and assigns, etc., provided that if his lands during the three years preceding 1640, shall prove to have been of greater value than set down in this ordinance, then he shall be liable to such further fine as the House shall appoint." [fn 127]

Sir J. Glanville gave the rents or profits of the estate of South Brent Tor that "the feoffees, their heirs, assigns and successors, or most of them that will be present in the school-house on Friday in the Easter week, between the hours of ten and eleven, do elect a youth born of honest parents within the said borough, whose parents are poor, and without deceit reputed to be unable to maintain such boy to dispose the profits for his maintenance at one of the universities, and when all the feoffees (trustees) are dead but eight the survivors must renew the estate to others, of which the eight masters of the town and parish must be of them." Sir John Glanville's works were principally of a political nature. Some of his parliamentary speeches may be found in Rushworth's Collection. The following lines are the only fragment of his poetry to be met with. They are addressed to his brother townsman Browne:- [fn 128]

"Ingenious swaine! that highly dost adorne
Clear Tavy, on whose brinck we both were borne!
Just praise in me would ne'er be thought to move
From thy sole worth, but from thy partiall love:
Wherefore I will not do thee so much wrong,
As by such mixture to alloy thy song.
But while kind strangers rightly praise each grace
Of thy chaste muse, I (from the happy place
That brought thee forth, and thinks it not unfit
To boast now that it erst bred such a wit)
Would only have it knowne I much rejoice
To hear such matters sung by such a voice.
          JOHN GLANVILLE."

"1653, July 16.
"We went to another uncle and relative of my wife's, Sir John Glanvill, a famous lawyer, formerly Speaker of the House of Commons; his seate is at Broad-Hinton, where he now liv'd but in the Gate-house, his very faire dwelling-house having been burnt by his owne hands, to prevent the rebells making a garrison of it. Here, my cousin Will. Glanvill, his eldest son, shewed me such a locke for a dore, that for its fitting and rare contrivances was a masterpiece, yet made by a country blacksmith."

Sir John Glanville married, about 1615, Winifred, daughter of William Bouchier, of Barnsley, co. Gloucestershire, Esq., who was grandson of Anthony Bouchier, of Barnsley, Esq., by his wife, Thomazine, daughter of Sir Thomas Mildmay, Kt., and sister to Sir Walter Mildmay, Knight of the Garter, and Principal Counsellor, Chancellor, and Treasurer to Queen Elizabeth (see Pedigree VIII.).

IV. Anne Maddock, married at Kingston Parish Church, Portsmouth, November 17th, 1796, Admiral Thomas Searle, C.B., of Kingston Cross, son of James Searle [fn 140] of Stradlescombe, Devon.

This officer entered the Royal Navy in October, 1789, and his first appointment was to H.M.S. "Mutine," and shortly after was transferred to H.M.S. "Royal George," in which ship he was present at the capture of three ships of the line off L'Orient, by Lord Bridport. In October, 1796, he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant in consequence of the great exertions he had made in saving the lives of seven men, and also appointed to H.M.S. "Courier," 12 guns, 40 men. On the 15th April, 1799, he recaptured the "Nelly" from the French privateer "Le Vengeur" of 14 guns. On the 29th May, off Winterton, he brought to action a French vessel of 16 guns in the act of capturing a merchant sloop; the engagement lasted one hour and forty minutes, but having the superiority of sailing and advantage, the French vessel escaped; Mr. Searle continued the chase till midnight, when, owing to a fog, he lost sight of her. At daylight he discovered a vessel in the north-east, and, supposing it to be his late opponent, he made sail in chase and came up and captured "Le Ribotteur," of 6 guns. After this he commanded a squadron of small ships, under the chief command of Lord Duncan, and on the 10th July assisted at the capture of three vessels in the "Watt." On the 11th August, 1800, Lieutenant Searle was employed in a very spirited and gallant attempt to cut off some vessels from Schiermonikoog which proved a complete success. The enemy was five times the cutter's force. They landed on the island, drove the men from the batteries, and spiked four guns. On the 21st November, being in Yarmouth Roads, Lieutenant Searle was ordered by Lord Duncan to reconnoitre the ports of Helvoetsluys and Flushing; in this occupation he engaged and captured the "Le Gurrier," 14 guns, 44 men. For this action he was promoted to the rank of Commander. He next served in the "Preseus" bomb, the "Holder" defence ship, and the "Autumn" sloop of war. He was also employed, under Lord Keith, in the expedition against the Boulogne flotilla, on which occasion he commanded one of the explosion vessels. In 1806, he was appointed to the "Fury" bomb, and also to H.M.S. "Grasshopper." In the "Grasshopper," whilst cruising off Carthagena, he discovered several vessels at anchor under Cape Palos. On the 7th the Spanish ships of war, "San Josef," of 12 24-pounders, 99 men; the "Medusa," 10, 77 men; and "Aigle," 8, 50 men, came out to attack the "Grasshopper." Notwithstanding their great superiority. Captain Searle immediately brought them to action, and in fifteen minutes the "San Josef" struck her colours, and ran ashore; shortly after that the prize was brought off; the other two vessels sailed away. Lord Collingwood, his great commander, in writing to the Lords of the Admiralty, highly praised Captain Searle for his zeal and enterprise. On the 4th April, 1808, he, with H.M.S. "Mercury," Captain Murray Maxwell, discovered off St. Sebastian's Lighthouse a large convoy of the enemy under the protection of about twenty gunboats, and a numerous train of flying artillery on the beach. At three P.M. the signal was made to weigh and attack the convoy, and stood directly in for the body of them, then off the town of Rota. At four o'clock H.M. ships opened fire, which was kept up with great spirit until half-past six, when seven of the convoy had been taken, and many driven on shore; the gunboats were compelled to retreat, and two of them destroyed. Captain Searle himself actually silenced the batteries at Rota, who kept in to the southward of the town so near as to drive the enemy from their guns with grape from his 32-pound carronades, and at the same time kept in check a division of gunboats that had come out from Cadiz to assist the other engaged by H.M.S. "Alceste" and "Mercury." The boats being sent out boarded the enemy, and brought out seven tartans. The captured vessels were all loaded on Government account for the arsenal at Cadiz. Captain Searle for his conduct on this occasion received the thanks of the Admiralty, and was also promoted to Post Rank. His next action was on 23rd April, when, in company with H.M. gun-brig "Rapid," he captured, after an action of two hours, during which forty men were killed and wounded, two Spanish vessels whose cargoes on board were worth £30,000 each. The Spanish vessels had been protected by four gunboats, and a battery off Faro, two of which struck, and the other two were driven on shore and destroyed.

Lloyd's Patriotic Fund presented Captain Searle with a piece of plate valued 120 guineas as a mark of their admiration of his services, and the crew of H.M.S. "Grasshopper," on his leaving the vessel on account of his promotion, presented him also with a sword value 80 guineas. He then served in the "Frederickstein," 31 guns, and "Elizabeth," 74. He was then appointed to the "Druid" frigate, which was senior ship at Cadiz and at Tariffa, when that place was besieged by Marshal Soult. In 1815, Captain Searle was made a Companion of the Bath. In 1818, he was appointed to H.M.S. "Hyperion," in which ship he had the honour of conveying H.R.H. the Prince Regent for a cruise, and afterwards sailing to South America, where he remained till 1821, and then returned, to England with specie to the amount of £500,000 sterling. On. the 1st August, 1836, he was appointed to the command of H.M.S. "Victory," 104, flagship, and advanced to Flag rank 9 November, 1846. He died 18 March, 1849. The issue of this marriage was:-

2. Anna Maria Glanville, married Ambrose Tween, Esq., of the Geological Survey, India.
3. Thomas Burt Glanville, was born in the year 1824, and owing to the devotion of his mother and maternal grandfather to the Wesleyan cause, the latter having been a personal friend of John Wesley, this gentleman early joined the Wesleyan Church, and after leaving the Grammar School, Devonport, he went to the Theological Institution, Richmond, to complete his studies. Three years after this he was sent as missionary to the Mysore, India. Here he devoted himself to the work of education with much success.

The fine educational institution at Bangalore was built by him and Mr. Garrett, and endowed by Government. His success with the boys could not be tabulated, at work so long, Christian converts so many, but the change in the beliefs of a great many of them was not the less sure.

It was never Mr. Glanville's habit at any time to speak much about his work, and none but his wife and the boys himself knew how much time and labour he gave to them. What was visible was this. He found on coming to Bangalore a small schoolroom and about twenty boys, in three years he left a large and handsome building, well endowed by Government, three hundred boys, and seven masters. The waste ground in front of the building, an unsightly rubble heap, was given to the school by Sir Mark Gubbon at his request, and was by him converted into a pretty pleasure-ground, and place for gymnastics and games.

On the day of Mr. Glanville's departure for South Africa, whither he was sent by the Missionary Committee, the weeping crowds which thronged the compound and road leading to it, by hundreds, shewed how much he was beloved. Sashiah, who is now a prominent man in the Mysore, was one of his favourite pupils. At Graham's Town he was appointed to establish a Wesleyan College.

His reputation as a preacher was high. Bathurst and King William's Town were successively the seats of his ministrations. At this latter place he resigned his connection with the ministry. This step was taken from a growing dislike to the narrow theological tenets of his Church, and brought to a decision by the violent headaches which generally attacked him after preaching.

Mr. Glanville left the ministry in 1859, and after a sojourn of one year in Pietermaritzberg, Natal, where he established the "Courier" newspaper, he returned to Graham's Town, where he became Editor of the "Journal," and afterwards part proprietor. As Editor of the "Journal" Mr. Glanville made his mark in the Colony. Perhaps the most prominent feature of his writings was its justice. He looked at a question from all sides, so that his political opponents respected his opinions. And though his wit was sparkling, and has been called "merciless," he never descended to personalities, and often gave offence because he would not allow letters to appear in the paper which were abusive. He was first elected to the House of Assembly as one of the representatives of the district of Victoria East, afterwards he was member for Graham's Town.

A very significant proof of the impression he had made in the House of Assembly was given by the invitation he received from Mr. Molteno to join the first Colonial Ministry, with the offer of the Portfolio for Native Affairs. When this transpired his friends eagerly desired that he should accept the overtures of the Premier-elect. It was hoped that with a seat in the Cabinet he would obtain a wider field of usefulness for the exercise of his peculiar powers. But the imperious demands of the business of the paper with which he was connected, which under his enterprise had now become extended to the Diamond Fields, forced him to decline the proffered honour, and soon after to give up the representation of the City in Parliament.

He was now able to give closer attention to the new and important engagements which he had undertaken at the Fields. He had been one of the earliest to visit this newly-developed source of wealth. He saw at a glance that the discovery of diamonds would give an impetus to the commerce of South Africa, such as had never yet been experienced, and therefore lost no time in planting there a branch of his firm, and establishing the "Diamond News," both of which projects under his fostering care rapidly grew, and by their results more than answered his expectations, and demonstrated his shrewdness.

It was in the year 1878 that he yielded to the yearning anxiety to visit England, which is so common in those who leave the Mother Country in early life. The keen enjoyment and the rich delight which this visit gave him were well described in a series of deeply interesting letters written by him, and from time to time published. He had not been here long ere he was fixed in London, and hard at work. His partners had resolved upon another enterprise; the "Empire" newspaper was established, and again he occupied the Editor's sanctum, with customary success, a want long felt was admirably met, and a journal was published in London for the use of colonists, by colonists, European subjects were handled as it were from a colonial point of view, and the same buoyant style which had enlivened the pages of the "Journal" gratified the supporters of the "Empire," which has so far followed a satisfactory course, and has enjoyed much public favour.

The duties of conducting a newspaper were at length too severe for a man whose health needed lighter and less irregular work, so that he was led to accept the office of Emigration Commissioner, in succession to his friend Mr. Fuller, His large experience, attractive manners, and kind heart rendered him specially adapted for his post.

Mr. Glanville did not live long after his appointment as Cape Commissioner in England. By his wife, Wilmot, daughter of T. Watson, Esq., he left issue:-

I. Flora Adelaide Glanville, born 1851, married, in 1870, Benjamin Durban, only son of the Hon. Robert Godlonton, M.L.C., and has issue three sons and four daughters.

Having now brought this feeble attempt on "The Records of the House of Glanville" to a conclusion, the following lines will not be out of place:

"What profit pedigree or long descent
From farre-fetcht blood, or painted monuments
Of our great grandsire's visage: 'tis most sad
To trust unto the worth another had
For keeping up our Fame; which else would fall,
If, besides birth, there be no worth at all,
For, who counts him a gentleman whose grace
Is all in name, but otherwise is base?
Or who will honour him that's honour's shame,
Noble in nothing bat a noble name?
It's better to be meanly born and good,
Than one unworthy of his noble blood,
Though all thy walls shine with thy pedigree,
Yet virtue only makes nobility,
Then, that his pedigree may useful be
Search out the virtues of your family,
And, to be worthy of your father's name,
Learn out the good they did, and do the game,
For if you bear their arms, and not their fame,
Those ensigns of their worth will be your shame."
