a_o reply_n to_o a_o paper_n entitle_v a_o true_a account_n of_o the_o vnreasonableness_n of_o mr._n fitton_n '_o s_z pretence_n against_o the_o earl_n of_o macclesfield_n whereas_o that_o paper_n call_v mr._n fitton_n a_o remote_a kinsman_n observe_v the_o relation_n stand_v thus_o sir_n edw._n fitton_n treasurer_n of_o ireland_n have_v issue_n sir_n edw._n fitton_n and_o alexander_n sir_n edward_n be_v grandfather_n to_o the_o last_o sir_n edward_n and_o alexander_n be_v grandfather_n to_o the_o petitioner_n it_o be_v allege_v in_o the_o paper_n that_o mr._n fitton_n have_v be_v but_o four_o year_n in_o possession_n and_o that_o before_o that_o time_n the_o earl_n of_o macclesfield_n be_v in_o possession_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o will._n as_o to_o the_o fitton_n be_v possession_n the_o case_n stand_v thus_o sir_n edward_n fitton_n die_v in_o 1643._o in_o 1647._o william_n fitton_n recover_v the_o possession_n of_o the_o manor_n of_o alford_n and_o gawsworth-park_n which_o be_v all_o the_o estate_n that_o be_v not_o in_o mortgage_n or_o jointure_n in_o 1652._o the_o mortgage_n be_v redeem_v by_o mr._n fitton_n and_o about_o 1655._o the_o jointress_n die_v and_o from_o that_o time_n he_o have_v possession_n of_o that_o part_n of_o the_o estate_n also_o as_o to_o the_o earl_n prior_n possession_n the_o fact_n be_v thus_o he_o together_o with_o the_o other_o coheir_n upon_o the_o death_n of_o sir_n edward_n fitton_n be_v mother_n do_v enter_v upon_o alford_n and_o receive_v his_o seven_o part_n of_o the_o profit_n as_o one_o of_o the_o coheir_n till_o the_o fitten_n recover_v the_o estate_n from_o they_o which_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o possession_n under_o the_o will_n that_o it_o be_v a_o demonstration_n he_o do_v not_o then_o believe_v there_o be_v any_o such_o and_o for_o many_o year_n in_o many_o suit_n between_o the_o coheir_n and_o the_o fitten_n as_o well_o when_o they_o be_v plaintiff_n as_o defendant_n the_o earl_n be_v join_v with_o they_o the_o second_o matter_n allege_v be_v that_o the_o chancery_n do_v no_o wrong_n to_o fitton_n by_o not_o suffer_v he_o to_o try_v the_o title_n to_o the_o will_n because_o upon_o his_o answer_n he_o never_o contest_v it_o the_o falsity_n of_o this_o allegation_n appear_v by_o the_o word_n of_o the_o answer_n and_o these_o defendant_n say_v that_o they_o nor_o either_o of_o they_o know_v or_o

that_o the_o earl_n take_v it_o to_o be_v so_o be_v as_o plain_a by_o his_o endeavour_v to_o prove_v the_o will_n in_o the_o cause_n the_o 3d_o allegation_n in_o the_o paper_n be_v a_o pretend_a answer_n to_o that_o which_o ever_o be_v and_o ever_o will_v be_v require_v in_o all_o court_n of_o law_n and_o equity_n that_o the_o plaintiff_n must_v make_v out_o his_o own_o title_n before_o he_o be_v admit_v to_o controvert_v the_o title_n of_o the_o defendant_n who_o be_v in_o possession_n and_o therefore_o the_o earl_n title_n be_v a_o title_n at_o law_n under_o the_o will_n which_o be_v devise_v he_o ought_v to_o have_v make_v out_o that_o title_n at_o law_n before_o he_o shall_v have_v be_v admit_v to_o controvert_v the_o deed-poll_n which_o be_v part_n of_o the_o defendant_n title_n the_o next_o thing_n be_v a_o cunning_a insinuation_n as_o if_o to_o assert_v the_o deed-poll_n be_v a_o reflection_n on_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n give_v upon_o the_o earl_n complaint_n against_o fitton_n and_o granger_n about_o the_o libel_n which_o be_v a_o mere_a fallacy_n for_o that_o paper_n may_v be_v just_o censure_v as_o a_o libel_n and_o the_o publish_n of_o it_o as_o a_o crime_n though_o every_o word_n of_o it_o be_v true_a because_o it_o be_v not_o assert_v in_o a_o legal_a course_n and_o it_o be_v most_o true_a that_o the_o verdict_n be_v give_v upon_o granger_n evidence_n and_o upon_o that_o of_o his_o servant_n or_o companion_n who_o swear_v what_o granger_n tell_v they_o in_o answer_n to_o the_o pretend_a circumstance_n to_o prove_v the_o forgery_n 1._o there_o be_v no_o occasion_n to_o produce_v the_o deed-poll_n at_o any_o of_o the_o trial_n with_o the_o coheir_n because_o fitton_n be_v title_n be_v under_o the_o settlement_n which_o they_o never_o pretend_v to_o be_v revoke_v 2._o there_o be_v no_o cause_n to_o produce_v it_o upon_o the_o marriage-treaty_n for_o mr._n fitton_n be_v wife_n be_v relation_n look_v on_o his_o title_n as_o undoubted_a he_o be_v in_o possession_n upon_o three_o judgement_n at_o law_n so_o that_o no_o deed_n at_o all_o be_v produce_v but_o the_o marriage_n take_v effect_n upon_o article_n 3._o william_n jolliffe_n esq_n a_o gentleman_n of_o quality_n and_o undoubted_a reputation_n and_o divers_a other_o prove_v that_o they_o see_v the_o deed-poll_n some_o year_n before_o the_o time_n that_o granger_n swear_v he_o forge_v it_o 4._o as_o to_o the_o pretence_n that_o fitton_n be_v father_n know_v nothing_o of_o the_o time_n it_o be_v false_a and_o affirm_v without_o proof_n 5._o the_o witness_n to_o the_o deed-poll_n rich._n davenport_n esq_n tho._n smalwood_n and_o edw._n barwick_n gent._n be_v person_n of_o such_o credit_n that_o the_o earl_n never_o go_v about_o to_o impeach_v it_o they_o upon_o their_o examination_n in_o the_o cause_n in_o chancery_n swear_v that_o they_o be_v present_a and_o see_v sir_n edw._n fitton_n seal_v and_o deliver_v as_o his_o act_n and_o deed_n the_o say_a deed_n then_o show_v to_o they_o and_o that_o their_o name_n endorse_v on_o the_o deed_n be_v their_o proper_a handwriting_n now_o it_o be_v not_o probable_a that_o witness_n name_n who_o be_v all_o live_n and_o stranger_n to_o fitton_n shall_v be_v put_v to_o a_o deed_n suppose_v to_o be_v forge_v twenty_o year_n after_o the_o pretend_a date_n 6._o it_o be_v not_o at_o all_o strange_a that_o they_o shall_v not_o on_o the_o sudden_a recollect_v the_o time_n and_o place_n of_o execute_v the_o deed_n it_o be_v after_o 20_o year_n and_o they_o have_v be_v witness_n to_o divers_a deed_n seal_v by_o sir_n edw._n fitton_n 8._o all_o the_o three_o witness_n do_v afterward_o recollect_v themselves_o and_o frequent_o in_o their_o life-time_n and_o several_o on_o their_o deathbed_n declare_v they_o perfect_o remember_v the_o time_n and_o the_o precise_a place_n where_o the_o deed_n be_v seal_v viz._n in_o the_o compass-window_n in_o the_o hall_n in_o gawsworth_n house_n therefore_o let_v any_o man_n that_o can_v believe_v that_o mr._n davenport_n ask_v pardon_n for_o swear_v that_o he_o be_v a_o witness_n to_o the_o execute_v the_o deed_n when_o he_o die_v affirm_v it_o 9_o as_o to_o the_o nature_n of_o granger_n evidence_n if_o it_o be_v true_a he_o must_v be_v a_o great_a villain_n and_o guilty_a of_o forgery_n and_o it_o be_v considerable_a what_o credit_n he_o ought_v to_o have_v who_o swear_v himself_o at_o that_o instant_n to_o deserve_v none_o and_o granger_n himself_o from_o the_o time_n of_o that_o trial_n till_o his_o death_n which_o be_v very_o late_o own_a that_o he_o never_o see_v fitton_n till_o the_o morning_n when_o the_o trial_n be_v have_v and_o that_o one_o be_v then_o employ_v to_o show_v he_o fitton_n as_o he_o come_v into_o westminster-hall_n and_o at_o his_o death_n confess_v that_o of_o all_o the_o villainy_n of_o his_o life_n that_o which_o trouble_v he_o most_o be_v the_o wrong_n he_o have_v do_v fitton_n in_o swear_v he_o forge_v the_o deed-poll_n of_o which_o there_o be_v many_o witness_n beyond_o all_o exception_n and_o if_o granger_n can_v deserve_v credit_n in_o behalf_n of_o the_o earl_n after_o he_o have_v own_a himself_n guilty_a of_o forgery_n he_o may_v be_v allow_v to_o deserve_v as_o much_o credit_n in_o behalf_n of_o fitton_n after_o he_o have_v be_v guilty_a of_o perjury_n especial_o when_o the_o very_a person_n concern_v in_o suborn_v granger_n and_o who_o pay_v he_o for_o it_o confess_v their_o knowledge_n of_o the_o fact_n 10._o as_o to_o what_o the_o answer_n call_v a_o evidence_n from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o it_o be_v improbable_a sir_n edw._n fitton_n who_o be_v marry_v and_o in_o a_o possibility_n of_o have_v child_n shall_v release_v his_o power_n of_o revocation_n it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o sir_n edward_n continue_v tenant_n in_o tail_n after_o the_o release_n and_o so_o may_v cut_v off_o the_o remainder_n by_o a_o recovery_n if_o he_o have_v issue_n but_o it_o be_v probable_a it_o be_v do_v to_o prevent_v any_o sudden_a act_n he_o may_v be_v prevail_v upon_o to_o do_v to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o his_o heirmale_a by_o the_o importunity_n of_o his_o sister_n who_o be_v his_o heir_n and_o also_o to_o
