be_v recover_v thirty_o year_n since_o have_v former_o spend_v twenty_o year_n time_n and_o twenty_o thousand_o pound_n fruitless_o in_o hope_n of_o recovery_n at_o the_o disproportion_n of_o twelve_o

your_o lordship_n may_v observe_v that_o wittersham_n indraught_n be_v not_o of_o absolute_a necessity_n to_o the_o recovery_n of_o the_o drown_a land_n other_o then_o to_o procure_v the_o

afterward_o into_o further_a decay_n so_o that_o in_o the_o year_n 1630._o the_o channel_n of_o the_o river_n of_o rother_n be_v so_o much_o swerve_v and_o decay_v as_o that_o all_o the_o land_n sew_v thereunto_o viz._n romney_n marsh_n walland_n marsh_n etc._n etc._n all_o which_o lie_v some_o mile_n near_a the_o sea_n then_o the_o upper_a level_n be_v in_o danger_n to_o lose_v their_o sewer_n much_o more_o the_o decay_a sommer-land_n which_o lie_v further_a from_o the_o fall_n as_o be_v manifest_v by_o the_o transaction_n of_o the_o lord_n bailiff_n and_o jurate_n of_o romney_n marsh_n the_o commissioner_n for_o walland_n marsh_n and_o the_o commissioner_n for_o the_o upper_a level_n and_o be_v declare_v in_o my_o remonstrance_n fol._n 13_o 14._o all_o which_o make_v it_o evident_a that_o since_o the_o year_n 1633._o the_o late_a drown_a land_n be_v then_o perfect_o drain_v as_o they_o now_o be_v both_o the_o late_a decay_a land_n and_o late_o drown_v land_n have_v be_v only_o preserve_v by_o the_o say_a work_n and_o indraught_n and_o no_o further_a advantage_n thereby_o give_v to_o the_o late_a drown_a land_n then_o to_o the_o late_a decay_a land_n and_o now_o do_v your_o lordship_n judge_n by_o what_o rule_v of_o sewer_n law_n or_o conscience_n the_o late_a drown_a land_n shall_v be_v further_o tax_v at_o twelve_o penny_n per_fw-la acre_n lesser_a measure_n and_o the_o late_a decay_a land_n at_o four_o penny_n per_fw-la acre_n large_a measure_n for_o the_o continuance_n of_o wittersham_n indraught_n by_o mean_n whereof_o the_o whole_a rent_n and_o profit_n of_o all_o or_o a_o considerable_a part_n of_o the_o late_a drown_a land_n as_o they_o have_v be_v for_o fifty_o year_n past_a so_o may_v be_v for_o fifty_o year_n to_o come_v swallow_v up_o in_o charge_n of_o scot_n and_o the_o inheritance_n of_o those_o land_n sacrifice_v for_o the_o preservation_n of_o those_o decay_a sommer-land_n which_o during_o all_o that_o time_n have_v and_o will_v thereby_o yield_v to_o the_o owner_n thereof_o eighteen_o or_o twenty_o shilling_n per_fw-la acre_n clear_a yearly_a profit_n above_o all_o charge_n of_o scot_n so_o that_o it_o have_v be_v much_o better_a for_o the_o owner_n of_o the_o late_a drown_a land_n if_o the_o recovery_n of_o their_o land_n have_v never_o be_v attempt_v 2._o the_o second_o matter_n in_o difference_n be_v whether_o by_o the_o law_n or_o rule_n of_o sewer_n shirley_n moor_n shall_v enjoy_v a_o large_a measure_n of_o 18._o or_o 20._o foot_n to_o the_o pole_n and_o all_o the_o other_o level_n but_o 16._o foot_n ½_n be_v now_o all_o under_o one_o commission_n i_o answer_v that_o this_o disproportion_n of_o measure_n be_v without_o precedent_n or_o example_n contrary_a to_o all_o rule_n of_o sewer_n and_o contrary_a to_o the_o statute_n or_o ordinance_n de_fw-fr terris_fw-la mensurandis_fw-la and_o therefore_o the_o animadverter_n endeavour_v to_o support_v it_o with_o a_o pretend_a previous_a agreement_n make_v between_o the_o owner_n of_o shirley_n moor_n and_o those_o of_o the_o other_o level_n before_o their_o conjunction_n in_o one_o commission_n viz._n that_o shirley_n moor_n be_v to_o continue_v that_o

be_v never_o insist_v on_o nor_o object_v at_o the_o reference_n make_v to_o the_o four_o learned_a lawyer_n in_o 1627._o howbeit_o sir_n edward_n hales_n knight_n and_o baronet_n decease_a be_v
