It returned two "knights of the shire" (Members of Parliament) to the House of Commons by the bloc vote system from the year 1290. Members were returned to the Parliament of England until the Union with Scotland created the Parliament of Great Britain in 1708, and to the Parliament of the United Kingdom after the union with Ireland in 1801 until the county was divided by the Reform Act 1832.

He apparently obtained a doctorate at Leiden University (although other sources maintain he went to a Scottish university) and appeared for the first time as a pamphletist in 1751 where he wrote, under the name of "Ontologos", ''The Grand Question debated; or an Essay to prove that the Soul of Man is not, neither can it be Immortal.'' In typical fashion, Kenrick forthwith provided an answer to this question proving the reverse, a tactic he often used in order to publicize his productions. One of his first targets was the vulnerable Christopher Smart whose poem ''Night Piece'' he attacked in the London monthly journal ''The Kapelion; or Poetical Ordinary, consisting of Great Va ...
