Henry Percy 5 th Earl of Northumberland of Sir Ingleram Percy his youngest Son and that the Collateral Line was never Attainted and therefore ought to enjoy the Title and Estate of his Ancestors Earls of Northumberland Then the Defendants Councel and the Court did own the Plaintiffs Title and Pedigree but said there was no Lands to support the Title then the Plaintiff prayed that the Court would confirm what they owned by a Rule in Court whereupon the Lord Chief Justice Scrogs stood up and said Confirm or not-confirm the Declaration is naught discharge Blakeston from the Suit of Percy notwithstanding the vast Charge the Plaintiff had been put to by the Defendants sheltering under the senior Countess of Northumberlands Priviledges And when the Duke of Monmouth had set aside her Priviledges then he shelter'd himself under the Lord of Essex his Priviledge And when the Plaintiff had made his complaint to the House of Lords the Lord of Essex did agree with the Plaintiffs Councel that if Mr. Clerk's Cost was laid down in Court for his security the Defendant Mr. Blakeston should not stand upon Priviledge but go on to Tryal Then the Lord Chief Justice Scrogs stood up and said Mr. Percy if you will lay down the 90 l. Mr. Clerk's Cost in Court the Lord of Essex will not insist upon Priviledge and we do promise you shall have a fair Tryal Whereupon the Money was tender'd accordingly and the 90 l. was got out of Court before he had notice by his Attorney Mr. Hancock or before the Tryal was ended And in truth the 90 l. the Opponents ought not to have had by reason the 90 l. Cost ought to have been set aside upon their own Demurrer Moreover it is to be noted that Sir George Jeffreys was Councel for the Plaintiff at the fore part of the Tryal and had taken 40 s. a Retaining Fee and 3 l. a Pleading Fee and had the Petitioner's Breviate but at the latter part of his Tryal pleaded against the Petitioner notwithstanding the Plaintiff tender'd him new Fees and complained of him in Court. All which caused the Plaintiff to Appeal to the Parliament by two Writs of Error to have the Errors argued and his Title to be brought to an Issue to be call'd to the Place and Seat of his Ancestors according to his Birthright That the Kings most Excellent Majesty hath been graciously pleased to referr your Petitioner to the Lords in Parliament to hear and determine his said Cause and to that purpose he hath been at vast Charges in renewing his two Writs of Error after every Prorogation and his Attorney hath received 60 l. only for the Kings hand besides all other Charges which far exceeded And his said Attorney did promise your Petitioner to get all his Breviates in a readiness against the Tryal but did altogether fail as the printed Petition hereunto annexed makes appear Moreover he told your Petitioner sometime before that he could have had a hundred Goineys to betray your Petitioner and some other of your Petitioners Councel have been tempted with Bribes but they were so Just as to refuse And now the Agents have surprized your Petitioner for they knew the Error must have been proved against the Plaintiff Mr. Blakeston so that they would not take their Cost for that days disappointment according to the prayer of the printed Petition but have obtained the Writ of Error to be dismist the Lords House without any fair Hearing so that all they have done and do is by way of surprizal to tire the Claimant out of his just Right He therefore most humbly beseeches the Honourable House of Commons as he is yet but a Commoner that for the Glory of God the Honour of our King and Kingdom to stand up for Justice so that Property and Right may be preserved and the Oppressed may be relieved for this is the 11 th year of your Petitioners Claim And intercede with the Kings most Excellent Majesty and the Right Honourable Lords Spiritual and Temporal not to suffer a Loyal Subject to be over-powered but that his just Claim may be heard with patience and determined in Justice and that your Petitioners Bill may be made an Act to restore the true Heir to his Birth-right and that the Title and the Estate that is now dispersed into several hands may be forthwith settled by an Act of Parliament And he shall ever pray Near 300 l. the two Writs of Error have cost for putting into Parliament continuing and renewing after every Prorogation and now they have Execution upon Blakeston's Writ of Error before the Case is heard The Attorney-General said Mr. Percy Now you have no where to Appeal but to Heaven But if Justice be not done on Earth we may fear Gods Vengeance will come from Heaven Therefore the Petitioner is forc'd to Appeal to those Worthies in the House of Commons for Justice and therefore he hath annexed the printed Petitions To the KINGS most Excellent Majesty And to the Right Honourable Lords Spiritual and Temporal in PARLIAMENT Assembled The Humble Petition of JAMES PERCY SHEWETH THat after your Petitioner's Complaint against his Attorneys James Hooton Edward Fyfield and John Hancock Mr. James Hooton one of your Petitioner's Attorneys understanding the Complaints against him sent the Writings by his Man which came too late out of which Papers his Breviates ought to have been drawn which doth testifie the Truth of your Petitioner's Complaint and what he offered to confirm upon Oath before your Lordships Therefore your Petitioner most Humbly prays That the two Writs of Error may be continued between Percy Plaintiff and Blakeston Defendant and Utting Plaintiff and Coppleston Defendant and that his Councel that he hath Retained formerly may be allowed your Petitioner to argue the said Cause that is to say Sir William Jones Serjeant Pemberton and Serjeant Simpson and that a new day may be ordered now his Witnesses are in Town and desires no longer time then his Councel may well consider And further prays That a moderate Costs may be tax'd upon account of the Attorneys Negligence And your Petitioner shall ever pray c.
