<HEAD>THE CASE Of the LADY WANDESFORD.</HEAD>
<P>THat King <HI>Charles</HI> the fir&s;t by his Letters Pattents 4. <HI>Car.</HI> I. did for a great and valuable con&s;ideration grant unto Dame <HI>Mary VVandesford,</HI> and <HI>VVilliam VVandesford,</HI> and their Heirs, all the Land in <HI>Hamp&s;hire</HI> between <HI>High</HI> and <HI>Low-water-marke,</HI> re&s;erving 4.<HI>d. per</HI> Acre Fee Farme Rent.</P>
<P>That the Inning of the &s;aid Lands, and &s;ecuring them from the Sea, will be a very great and chargeable undertaking, but being imbanked from the Sea, will be of great profit and ad|vantage to the Kingdome, whereas now they yield no benefit to any; not one Blade of Gra&s;s growing upon them.</P>
<P>That for the encouragement of tho&s;e who are to adven|ture their Money upon &s;o hazardous a work; the Lady <HI>VVan|desford</HI> hath been advi&s;ed to pre&s;ent a Bill to this Honourable Hou&s;e, which hath been read and committed.</P>
<P>That at the reading of it many clau&s;es in it did appear to be unrea&s;onable, all which the Committee have expunged.</P>
<P>That there is a Provi&s;o for the &s;aving all Rights, &s;o that no|thing is pa&s;&s;ed to the Lady <HI>VVandesford</HI> by this intended Act, if it was not legally granted by the &s;aid Pattent.</P>
<P>And &s;he doth humbly pray, that in regard this Bill, if it be pa&s;&s;ed, cannot be a prejudice to any per&s;on; and if it doth not pa&s;&s;e, will be her utter undoing, (having &s;pent her whole E&s;tate upon it) That by the ju&s;tice of this Honourable Hou&s;e it may pa&s;&s;e.</P>
