said Commissioners, a Book, intituled, "A Report from

And withdrew.
Message from H.C. with a Bill.
A Message from the House of Commons, by Mr.
Cholmeley and others:
Who brought up a Bill, intituled, "An Act to empower the Barons of the Exchequer in Ireland to
grant a Commission to some of the Barons of the Exchequer in England, to administer to Thomas Hopkins
Esquire the Oaths for the due Execution of the Office
or Offices of Searcher, Packer, and Gauger, in the
Port of the City of Dublin, granted to him for
Life;" to which they desire the Concurrence of this
House.
Sir R. Barnardiston & al. versus Carter.
Counsel were called in, to be heard, in the Cause
wherein Sir Robert Barnardiston Baronet and others are
Appellants, and William Carter Esquire Respondent.
And the Counsel for the Appellants being directed
to proceed:
Counsel, in Behalf of John Mortimer Esquire and
Elizabeth his Wife, who, upon their Petition on Saturday last, were allowed to attend to be heard if the House
thought fit, expressed their Fear, "That the Petitioners
might be precluded, if their Lordships should give
Judgement without permitting them to be heard;"
and therefore desired Time to bring an Appeal; alledging, "That the said Elizabeth claimed an Estate in
Question, as Heir to Evers Armyne."
And the other Counsel objecting to the putting off
the Cause:
They were directed to withdraw.
And being accordingly withdrawn; and Debate in
relation to this Matter:
The Question was put, "That this House do now
proceed to the Hearing of the Cause between
the Appellants and Respondent, upon the
Appeal and Answer before this House?"
It was Resolved in the Affirmative.
Then the Counsel were called in again; and the
Lord Chancellor acquainted them, "The House was of
Opinion, to proceed now to the hearing of the
Cause."
Accordingly the Counsel, both for the Appellants
and Respondent, were heard upon the said Appeal and
Answer.
And, being withdrawn;
The Judges were directed to give their Opinions,
"Whether the Will of Sir Michael Armyne did extend to include all the Debts of the said Sir Michael?"
And, having conferred together, the Lord Chief
Baron, in the Name of them all, delivered it as their
Opinion, "That the Will of the said Sir Michael Armyne did extend to include all his Debts."
Then they were likewise directed to deliver their
Opinions, "Whether the Estate for Life was vested in
Evers Armyne at the Time of the Recovery, before
all the Debts were paid, so that he could make a Tenant to the Præcipe?"
But the Judges desiring some Time, in regard the
same, as they alledged, was a Question of great Importance; they were allowed till To-morrow, in order to
confer together, the better to give their Opinions
thereon.
Kirwan's Cause put off.
Ordered, That the Cause wherein John Kirwan
Esquire, commonly called Sir John Kirwan, and Simon
Kirwan Esquire, are Appellants, and Christopher French
Gentleman is Respondent, which was appointed to be
heard this Day, be heard on Thursday next; and that
the Cause appointed to be heard that Day be put off
to Saturday, and the other Causes removed in Course.
