Upon reading the Petition of the Earl of Thanett,
shewing;
E. of Thanet's Petition, to prevent his Timber being felled.
That whereas he was a Suitor to this House, that
his Timber on his Lands, and nigh his Mansion-houses,
might not be felled down, and that their Lordships
were pleased to think it reasonable to except his
Timber out of the Ordinance for felling down Timber
for the Navy; and that the House of Commons consented thereunto, and the very Ordinance itself for
cutting down Wood is for the Preservation of Timber;
yet notwithstanding, so it is, that the Officers now
appointed for selling of Wood are in cutting down
and utter destroying of the Petitioner's Timber Trees,
not only to his Ruin, and Spoil of his Seat in Kent,
but also in Disobedience to the Ordinance of Parliament, and in Contempt of the Order of both
Houses.
Therefore the Petitioner humbly prays your
Lordships will give present Order for the
Stay of their further cutting down of his
Timber; and also to send for the Parties, to
answer their Disobedience to their Lordships."

Hereupon this House Resolved, That, upon an Affidavit made to this House, and the Names of the Persons offending, they shall be sent for, to answer their
Offences.
