Upon reading the humble Petition of George Duke of Bucks presented to the King's Majesty; shewing, That John Mannors, Eldest Son of the Earl of Rutland, makes a Pretence to, and calls himself by the Name of, Lord Rosse, which Title the said Duke of Bucks lays Claim to as solely belonging to him; and His Majesty's Reference made thereupon to this House for the Determination of the Controversy therein expressed: It is thereupon ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That, on Monday the One and Twentieth Day of January next, this House will hear Counsel on both Parts, at the Bar, concerning the same; and that the Earl of Rutland is to have timely Notice thereof.
