The late King was pleased, for his redemption, by letters patent 2 Car., to grant to the then Earls of Rutland and Westmoreland, and to petitioner, by the name of Mildmay, Lord le De Spencer, 2/3 of the manors, &c., seized for Lord Brudenel's recusancy, for as long as they should remain in the King's hands, at a yearly reserved rent. Upon assurance of this grant, divers sums of money, by the assistance of peti- tioner's father and the Earl of Rutland, were taken up, and Robert Brudenel, after two years' imprisonment, was released.
To this day the greatest part thereof remains unsatisfied. Is the sole survivor interested therein, and begs that the acquittal of Lord Brudenel of delinquency and the discharge of his estate, which, together with the two parts granted to petitioner, were under sequestration for his delinquency, may not prejudice petitioner's right in the said 2/3. 129 399
