Short-lived Ministry

Short-lived Ministry

On 10 February 1746, following the resignation of the government of Henry Pelham, the Earl of Bath undertook the formation of a ministry. However, it only lasted two days, ending on 12 February even before all the members could be appointed, and Pelham resumed the government.

The above were Bath's appointments before he abandoned the attempt to form a ministry; it does not appear that either Carlisle or Winchilsea actually received the seals of office. Other appointments which had been determined upon but not made, according to contemporary rumour, were:
*Secretary of State: The Earl of Cholmondeley
*Lord Lieutenant of Ireland: The Duke of Bolton
*Master of the Horse: The Duke of Portland
*Leader of the House of Commons: Sir John Rushout, 4th Baronet
