(1713-1794), constantly opposed the American policy of the Rockingham ministry. His sympathy with the colonies continued during his term as Lord Chancellor from 1766 to 1770. He opposed the oppressive colonial policy pursued by Lord North, and, on account of his liberal policy during the Revolution, he was very popular in America.
