William Boyd, 4th earl of Kilmarnock (1705-46), George Mackenzie, 3rd Earl of Cromarty (c.1703-1766) , and Arthur Elphinstone, 6th Lord Balmerino (1688-1746) were all Jacobites involved in the Forty-Five Rebellion. They were captured and sent to London where they were found guilty of high treason and condemned to death.

“Whitehead's first notable satire, The State Dunces (June 1733), in heroic couplets, was inscribed to Pope and indebted to The Dunciad (1728–9), but in so far as Whitehead raises his sights to take in bishops, politicians, and, above all, Walpole, he anticipates Pope's New Dunciad (1742). Robert Dodsley bought the copyright for 10 guineas, prompting Johnson, who had a low opinion of Whitehead, to insist on no less for his London (1738).” -- ODNB

“In the debate over ship money in December 1640 he (Pierrepont) denounced the judges who had denied parliament's right to make the tax illegal. He then chaired the committee for the impeachment of Sir Robert Berkeley, the judge who had defended ship money most vociferously. Pierrepont's major speech against ship money has survived (in the present pamphlet) and illustrates his political beliefs” - Oxford DNB.
