Phenomenal DS, signed “W. S. Churchill" and "George R. I.,” two pages, 8 x 13, March 2, 1911. The king appoints William Henry Stuart "to be during Our Pleasure an Estates Commissioner and an additional member of the Land Commission" for the purposes of the 1903 Irish Land Act. Signed at the conclusion by Churchill as the secretary of state for the Home Department, and signed at the top of the first page by King George. In fine condition, with light toning along the edges. Churchill was promoted to Home Secretary in 1910, and held a brief if not controversial tenure that included his visit to a fiery police standoff on Sidney Street just two months before signing this document.
