Victoria, Queen

Russell, John, Lord
Description
Queen Victoria sanctions the Lord Steward (Richard Grosvenor, 2nd Marquess of Westminster)'s appointment to receive the Great Seal, but gives Lord John Russell discretion to make another arrangement if Lord Cottenham (Charles Pepys, 1st Earl of Cottenham) suggests one. His illness renders it necessary. Has the Great Seal ever been given to a person appointed for that purpose?
