the Grace of God King and Queen of England Spain France both Cicilies Ierusalem and Ireland Defenders of the Faith Arch Dukes of Austria Dukes of Burgundy Millain and Brabant Counties of Hasburg Flanders and Tyroll The other is This Indenture made the 22th day of December in the same Year Now in November and December 2 and 3 of Philip and Mary it was impossible for any man in the World to draw a Deed in this Form that those two Writings are Mr. Att. Gen. Is that your Demonstration L. C. I. Pray let him go on methinks it is very ingenious Mr. Bradbury My Lord I had the hint from my Lord Coke in his first Institutes not as to this particular Stile for I know he is mistaken there but for the detecting of Forgeries in general L. C. I. It is very well pray go on Mr. Bradbury My Lord at that time King Philip and Queen Mary were among other Stiles stiled King and Queen of Naples Princes of Spain and Sicily they never were called King and Queen of Spain and both the Cicilies then And lastly Burgundy was never put before Millain Now to prove all this that I say I have here all the Records of that time which will prove their Stile to be otherwise First We shall shew the Acts of Parliament of that time The sitting began the 21th of October in that Year which was before their Deeds and ended the 9th of December after We shall first read the Titles of the Acts of Parliament and you will find them just as I have opened them Read the Statute Book Clerk Reads Acts made at a Parliament begun and holden at Westminster the one and twentieth day of October in the Second and Third Years of the Reign of our most gracious Soveraign Lord and Lady Philip and Mary by the Grace of God King and Queen of England France Naples Ierusalem and Ireland Defenders of the Faith Princes of Spain and Sicily Arch Dukes of Austria Dukes of Millain Burgundy and Brabant Counties of Haspurg Flanders and Tyroll and there continued and kept until the Dissolution of the same being the ninth day of December then next ensuing M. Bradbury Here in the Acts made by the Publick Council of the Kingdom the Style is in the ancient manner And your Lordships observes these no small differences Here first Spain is left out in the enumeration of the Kingdoms and so Sicily and Naples is instead of them In the Deeds Spain is put in before France and the Sicilies made a Kingdom too Secondly Here in the Style of the Act they are called but Princes of Spain and Sicily that in the Deeds is quite left out And then in the Acts of Parliament Millain is put before Burgundy in the Deeds Burgundy before Millain And how this great alteration of the Style should come to be put in a Millers Lease is strange We have next an account of all the Fines of Hillary Term which was the Term next following for their first Deed happens to be in Michaelmas Term and then the Parliament sate too Many of which were read Mr. Bradbury Here are likewise the Fines of Easter Term following which shew that still the Old Style continued in all the publick Records And if we could as easily have brought all the Enrolments of Deeds that would prove the same The Fines of Easter Term read Mr. Bradbury Now my Lord we shall shew when the Style turn'd that was in Trinity Term after The Fines read Mr. Bradbury But I cannot see how these Deeds could be truly made at that time when they stand single and none like them can be shewn except they come from the same Forge that these do I cannot believe the Miller alone or he that drew his Leases for him could so long before prophecy what manner of Style should hereafter be used Mr. Williams Your Lordship has heard our Deed of the 10th of December in the same Year read already but we having here the Leiger Book of the Church of St. Pauls which cannot be made for a Turn but was written at that time we desire the Style may be read there Which was done But to go a little further to satisfie your Lordship that they are very likely to be forged We shall give some evidence that this is not an unusual thing with some People concerned in this Cause The Witnesses will name them to you and give you an account of it Swear this Lady and Sir Charles Cotterel Which was done L. C. I. Well what is it you call these Persons to Sir Iohn Trevor To speak plain my Lord we call them to give an account of my Lady Ivies forging a Mortgage from one Sir William Salkhill for 1500 l. of a House in St. Martins Lane to which forgery Mr. Duffet that Ladies Husband was privy and what benefit he should have by it you will hear Sir Charles Cotterel pray will you tell what you know of my Lady Ivie in this matter Sir Charles Cotterell My Lord that which I have to say is this My Lord I am Tenant to my Lady Salkhill Sir William Salkhill's Widow in a House in St. Martins Lane and was so to her Husband a year and a half before he died The House hath been built backward and the Garden side they kept to themselves But all the House that was first built I took and have it still My Lord my Lady Ivy did come to the House about three months before Sir William died parting from her Husband Sir Thomas Ivy she came thither as a Refuge where she had been before and was received very kindly He died as I said about three months after and my Lady then desired to know how accounts stood between Sir William and her about monies he had lent her and supplied her with And upon the Account she appeared to owe Sir William 96 l. she then took 4 l. more out of my Lady Salthills mony and told her now Madam I owe you 100 l. She had been entertained as a Guest there without paying any thing for it and at his death she continued with my Lady Salthill three quarters of a year after And being there as she pretended in great kindness to me she persuaded my Lady and me that the Lease of my Ladies House should be turned over to me in trust for a Debt of fourscore pounds that was owing to me by Sir William Salkhill Said I to my Lady Salkhill Madam I am in no doubt of my mony I pay as much Rent as this in a Year and more I can pay my self that way pary let not me meddle with any such thing Mr. Duffett will be persuaded I intend to cheat them if I should But still my Lady Ivy was at it and prevailed upon my Lady Salkhill to press me to it At last upon their importunity said I if it be necessary for my Ladies service let it be done what you think fit She therefore gave direction to Mr. Sutton and he
