Sign Manual Warrant

This text is taken from a handwritten transcript of the document in the College of Arms and may not reflect the formatting of the original.

Royal name is written in a Gothic hand, and the recipient's name and the first instance of "baronet" are emphasized in the text.

This reflects the changes to baronets' patents made by The Crown Office Rules (No. 1) Order 1927. The unwieldy reference to "Baronets of England Scotland Great Britain Ireland and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland" was replaced with "Baronets of Our United Kingdom," and the recipient's name was only given once instead of being repeated several times. The language about the privileges of a baronet was also tightened, and the references to them being enjoyed "honourably and quietly" was omitted.
