Thousand Six Hundred Ninety-seven, exhibited their
Bill in Chancery for Relief; and upon hearing before the Lord Chancellor, in Michaelmas Term One
Thousand Six Hundred Ninety-nine, his Lordship
directed a Trial to be had, whether the Ship was
taken by the wilful Default of the Master; and that
it should be tried in London, where Mr. Holder lived;
and a Trial was had, in Easter Terme One Thousand
Seven Hundred; and the Petitioners had a Verdict
that the Ship was so lost; and afterwards a new

Holder's Delays, till the Five and Twentieth of
October last; on which Day his Lordship was pleased

Trial be put off; and praying, that the Trial may
proceed, as ordered by the Court of Chancery."
