To desire their Concurrence, as followeth:

think fit to offer this Favour to him; and do hereby
declare, That, in case the said Duke of Bucks shall,

E. of Lincoln's Petition, versus Ly. Delawar.
"To the Right Honourable the Lords in Parliament assembled.
"The humble Petition of Theophilus Earl of
Lincolne;
"Sheweth,
"That your Petitioner did long since lend Two
Thousand Pounds to the Right Honourable Isabella
Lady Dowager De La Warr, which is secured by
her Statute of Four Thousand Pounds Penalty, acknowledged about Seven Years since, which, with
the Forbearance, is still wholly unsatisfied; and she,
presuming upon the Privilege of this House, wholly
neglects Payment both of Principal and Interest;
whereas your Petitioner doubts not but to make it
appear, by his Counsel, that she is not by Law to
enjoy the Privilege of this House, in a Business of
this Nature.
"And therefore your Petitioner prays, That
your Lordships will either order, that he
may, according to Law, extend the said
Lands secured by Statute, or appoint a
speedy Day when Counsel on both Sides
may be heard to the Point of Privilege.
"And your Petitioner shall pray, &c.
"T. Lyncolne."
