Robert Walpole became a Privy Councillor and rose to the position of Paymaster of the Forces in a Cabinet nominally led by Lord Halifax, but actually dominated by Lord Townshend ( Walpole's brother-in-law ) and James Stanhope.

Normally, Walpole and Lord Townshend were on one side, with Stanhope and Lord Sunderland on the other.

In 1716 Townshend was removed from the important post of Northern Secretary and put in the lesser office of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.

This defeat led Lord Stanhope and Lord Sunderland to reconcile with their opponents ; Walpole returned to the Cabinet as Paymaster of the Forces and Townshend was appointed Lord President of the Council.
