Her husband cannot make her a jointure, and has deserted her. The estate is sequestered for his delinquency, and she has a decree in Chancery for all the estate, except 2,000l. given to pay her husband's debts, for which he is in prison; but George Faunt, creditor for 2,750l., and Mr. Staresmore, creditor for 2,000l. more, to save some of their debts and a great sum of interest, conspire to pay in their moneys to some committee, pretending an order of 22 Feb. last of the Committee for Advance of Money, as if the same belonged to her husband, and were forfeit for his delinquency, though she was not heard, and therefore the chairman, Lord Howard, and Col.

The money only came to petitioner as executrix, and therefore does not come to Mr. Wortley. All her estate, except 2,000l., was decreed before marriage to Sir Jas. Harrington and John Stafford, in trust for her jointure and discharge of legacies.
