Footnote #1: The grant
conferring the title of Conte of the feud magistrale (i.e. belonging to the
Grand Master) of Ghain Toffieha was made by Grand Master Rohan to Ferdinando
Teuma Castelletti to be held by the grantee and his issue. However, it
is to be remarked that this grant was not made by a patent but by a rescript of
the 7th January 1792, on the petition of the same Ferdinando, that is to say
upon an application by Ferdinando Teuma Castelletti for that title and
remainder. The wide terms of the rescript (with remainder to
Ferdinando's issue) would at first sight imply that all of Ferdinando’s
descendants are entitled to the title. On the other hand, however, it must be
remembered that the 1878 Commissioners noted that it is a settled rule that
any interpretation of Magistral assent to a rescript must be restrictive whilst
wide interpretations are only allowed in grants made motu proprio. This maxim
is explained by the Commissioners elsewhere in their Report thus: The
claimant lastly contends that the diploma and the rescript must be extensively
construed; for although it is a legal maxim, Privilegia sunt stricte
interpretanda, the privileges, however, granted by a sovereign authority, and
which do not act to the prejudice of third parties, are susceptible of a wide
and liberal interpretation. Although this is admitted by the common opinion of civilians,
yet that principle holds good with regard to those privileges which are granted
by the sovereign's mere motion (moto proprio) and not at the request of
the party concerned (Jasonii Comment. Quoted by Altograd. Consilia Con. 71,
No. 9, 10, 11, and by many other legal writers). Now as a general rule, patents
of nobility in Malta were granted by the Grand Masters at the request of the
grantee, and it was moreover upon an application by Barone Azzopardi that the
rescript of 1778 was issued. It is likewise a settled opinion that, when the
patent of creation does not contain the expression motu proprio, the grant is
taken to have been made at the request of the party concerned. (See:-
Correspondence and Report of the Commission appointed to enquire into the
claims and grievances of the Maltese Nobility, May 1878, presented to both
Houses of Parliament by Command of Her Majesty (C.-2033.) (See Report Paras.
41-57). See also http://www.maltagenealogy.com/SME/ghajntuffieha.html
Footnote#2: Some publications
state that this title was always held to be inheritable by the first-born
descendant only. The 1878 Commission did not enter into the merits of this.
However, the terms of the rescript are clear enough to show that a restrictive
primogenial remainder was neither applied for nor assented to.
Footnote#3: It may be of
relevance to note that assent to the rescript of Ferdinando Teuma Castelletti
was given six months after the Marchese Barbaro made a similar rescript
requesting an extension of the title of San Giorgio to ‘all descendants’.
In that case, one finds many arguments which militate against construing the
1792 ressript in favour of ‘mere’ females and/or ‘mere’
male descendants claiming through a female line. See http://www.maltagenealogy.com/SME/sangiorgio.html
Footnote#4: It appears
therefore that whilst the title in question may be enjoyed by all of the
male-to-male descending lines of the aforesaid Ferdinando Tuema Casteletti, it
does not appear from the terms of the rescript and the principles explained by
the 1878 Commission that the title may be also enjoyed by any other descendant.
