A Message was brought from the House of Commons, by Sir Humphrey Winch Baronet, and others; who brought up these Bills following:

Sir J. Wintour versus Forest of Dean Bill.

Upon Report made by the Duke of Richmond, from the Lords Committees appointed to consider of the Bill, intituled, "An Act for Increase and Preservation of Timber within the Forest of Deane," and the Petition of Sir John Wintour relating thereunto, "That their Lordships have perused Sir John Wintour's Articles under the Great Seal of England, and found them agreeable with the Recital in his Petition; and that, in regard their Lordships found an Interest conveyed to Sir John Wintour by those Articles, they judged it reasonable that he should have some Compensation; that, having considered what Compensation would be properest for Sir John Wintour, they being informed that Sir John Wintour was Debtor to His Majesty, upon a former Bargain relating to this Forest, in the Sum of Six Thousand Six Hundred and Ninety Pounds, or thereabouts, towards which His Majesty's Officers had seized upon some of the Wood felled by Sir John Wintour, and yet lying in the Forest; they were humbly of Opinion, That it should be offered to the House, that their Lordships would move His Majesty, that He would be pleased to remit the said Debt to Sir John Wintour, he delivering up his Articles, and that Sir John Wintour may have the Disposal of the Wood and Timber now seized, excepting what is marked for the Use of His Majesty's Navy:"

Sir J. Wintour recommended to the King about it.

The Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, finding it reasonable to agree with the Report made from the Committee, do most humbly propose the Consideration of this Matter to the King's Majesty, and that His Majesty will be pleased to give some speedy Directions therein; further humbly recommending Sir John Wintour to His Majesty, in regard of his Sufferings in His Majesty's Service.
