The arms are those of Hobart, as borne by Robert, 4th Earl of Buckinghamshire, born in 1760. He was M.P. for Portarlington 1784-1790, for Armagh 1790-1796 and served as Governor of Madras 1793-1798. He was Joint Postmaster General 1806-1807 and President of the Board of Control from 1812 until his death. He married Margareta, widow of Thomas Adderley in 1792. She died in Madras in 1796 and he married, as his second wife, Eleanor Agnes, daughter of Lord Aukland. He succeeded to the Earldom in 1804. His political career was distinguished if not spectacular; "Mr. Hobart's voice is naturally good, clear, well-toned and with sufficient compass, but he much injures it by a species of affectation that reduces it nearly to a feminine lisp; adopted perhaps from his familiar intercourse with pretty ladies and pretty gentlemen". (A Review of the Irish House of Commons, 1789) He was an adherent of Addington and with him, Fox and the Whigs, was a member of the "All the Talents" Ministry in 1806. (Complete Peerage) He died as a result of a fall from his horse, aged 55, in 1816.
