The Lord Chamberlain acquainted this House, "That
the King appointed him to deliver a Petition to their
Lordships, which was presented to him by the Lord
Berkeley;" which the House ordered to be read, as
followeth:
"To the King's Most Excellent Majesty.
"The humble Petition of George Lord Berkley, for
his Place in this present Parliament, above and
before the Lord De la Ware;
"Sheweth,
"That Robert Fitz Harding (Grandson to the King
of Denmarke), your Petitioner's lineal Ancestor, had
the Honour of Berkeley granted to him and his Heirs,
by Your Royal Ancestor King Henry II, to hold by
Barony: That from the said Robert descended William, who being created Marquis Berkeley by King
Ed. IV, and entailing the said Honour, for Want of
Issue Male of his own Body, upon King Henry VIIth,
and the Issue Male of His Body, died without Issue,
whereby the said Honour came to and was in the
Crown, until the Death of King Ed. VIth, Grandson and Heir Male to the said King Hen. VII: That
Sir Maurice Berkley Knight, Nephew and Heir to the
said Marquis, being summoned to Parliament in 14
H. VIII, did, by reason of that Entail, fit no otherwise than as a Puny Baron; and that, upon the Death
of King Ed. VIth, without Issue, Henry Lord Berkeley,
Nephew and Heir to the said Maurice, being not
till that Time in a Capacity to challenge the Place of
his Ancestors, was then under Age: That, since he
came of Age, partly by reason of Minorities of the
Lords Berkeleys and De la Ware, and partly for
that Two of the Lords De la Ware were long in Virginia, there hath been no proper Opportunity for
any of the said Lords Berkeley to exhibit their Claim
till now.
"Your Petitioner therefore most humbly prayeth,
That Your Majesty will be graciously pleased
that he may be admitted to make Proof of
this his Claim; and, by the Advice of Your
Great Council now assembled in this Your
Parliament, to ordain that he may have his
Place therein, in Your Royal Presence, in such
Sort as his Ancestors Lords Berkeley, before
that Entail so made by the said Marquis Berkeley, had and enjoyed.
"And Your Petitioner shall ever pray.
"Berkeley."
Ld. Berkeley and Ld. Delawar; Precedency.
Upon reading this Petition of George Lord Berkeley,
touching the Precedency of Place between him and the
Lord De la Ware:
It is ORDERED, That the said Lord De la Ware may
have a Copy of the said Petition; and that this House
will hear Counsel on both Sides this Day Sevennight,
which will be on the 24th of May Instant.
L. Mohun, Privilege in Gifford's Suit against him.
Upon the Oath of Joseph Willson Gentleman, made
this Day at the Bar, "That one Dorothy Gifford Widow
hath sealed a Lease of Ejectment to one Thomas Pettitt, a Stranger, of Thirty-six Houses and One Garden,
in Bloomsbury, in the Parish of St. Giles in the Feilds;
and the said Pettitt hath brought his Action in Ejectment against one Peter Cooke, the casual Ejector, and
intends a Trial this Term; the Right of the Title in
Question being in Warwicke Lord Mohun, a Member
of this Parliament, and Peer of the Realm:"
It is ORDERED, That there shall be no further Proceedings in that Cause against the said Peter Cooke,
wherein the Lord Mohun is concerned, during the Privilege of this Parliament, unless his Lordship shall be content to wave his Privilege; and that all Persons whom
it may concern are to take Notice of this Order, and yield
Obedience accordingly.
