omitted any thing that is material on either side they have free liberty to remind the Court of it you are the Judges of this Fact whether this Land do of Right belong to the Plaintiff or to the Defendant And I leave it to your Consideration After which the Jury withdrew to consider of their Verdict and the Court arose That Evening the Jury gave in a Private Verdict before a Judge and appearing the next Morning at the Barr were called over and demanded if they did abide by the Verdict they had given the Night before to which they answered yes which being declared by the Secondary to be for the Plaintiff the Jury were discharged Then a Motion was made by the Plaintiffs Counsel that several Deeds produced by the Defendant that were detected of Forgery might be lest in Court in order to have them pursued and convicted of the Forgery The Court upon debate of the Matter and the Plaintiffs Counsel declaring they would prosecute an Information of Forgery the Deeds of the 13th of November and the 22th of December 2 and 3 Phil. and Mar. were ordered to be lest with the Clerk of the Crown till further Order and in the mean time the Plaintiff to have Copies of them from the Clerk and by Rule of Court a Tryal at Barr is ordered in Michaelmas Term. FINIS The land within and belowe the Red Line is the Land that was in 1683 Claimed by the Lady Ivy and is the Seaven Acres of Land in which the Mill Ponds and Ditches did all over dispersed by lie and into which the Water did every Tyde flow and then there was kept in by the Thames or Mill Wall on the South and East Corner of it and by Wall-Marsh Wall now foxes Lane on the West and went out againe at the Ebb and so did drive a tide Mill To which with its appurtences which must have been this Land the Deans of St. Pauls on Record can Shew Title in fee for more then 400 years and their Tenants all along have enjoyed it and yet the dispute by the Lady Ivy rais'd twixt the said Dean and her self has been whether this very ground be parcel of 130 acres drowned Land now called Wapping Marsh that drained but about 150 years since in Henry the Eights time or not 1687. Now in Perpetuam Rei Memoriam and for that Cause this is printed Note THE Survey of the Mannour of Stepney and on Record in that Court by the Lady Ivy first she knowing that it would by the Dean be produced taken in and about the 25th Eliz. with Reference to other Surveys above 100 years older sets out and describes by it self the whole 130 Acres of Marsh and Butts the same on the Lands of the Dean of St. Paul's London held of the Mannour of Stepney towards the East and that is on this very Land The Act for Draining the whole 130 Acres in Henry the Eighth's time Butts the same East on the Town of Ratcliff which is also on this very Land every part of it Eastward of Foxes Lane having always been reckon'd in Ratcliff and ever so named in all Leases and Deeds till Shadwell was by 〈◊〉 of Parliament made a Parish distinct from the Hamlet of Ratcliff in or about 1670. And it is to be Noted That this Land Eastward of Foxes Lane was also among other Surveyed and Sold as 〈◊〉 and Chapters Land in the late Times of Rebellion in or about 1652. and was and is all of it but just ●here the Ditches and Ponds were 8 or 10 foot higher than the Lands Westward of Foxes Lane which are al●●●ed to be part of Stepkins's Lands in the Marsh. And besides this 130 Acres of Marsh so set out as in the Survey aforesaid the said Stepney Survey sets also out for the Dean Shadwel-Field by estimation 20 Acres and Bounded as it really is and 5 Acres of Linches Bounded just as it 〈◊〉 And also this Land as it follows described a Tenement called Derekin and one Tenement late Pinserus de 〈◊〉 together with a Water-Mill divers Tenements Cottages Mansion-Houses Orchards Gardens Ponds 〈◊〉 and Pitles all lying together Butting South on the Thames and on Wall alias Wapping Marsh in part Marked A in the Map and on the Linches in part Marked B and on Ratcliff High-way in part on the North 〈◊〉 on Wall or Wapping Marsh on the West and upon the Lords Waste towards the East held of the Mannour of Stepney freely ever since Richard the Second's time at 33 s. 3 d. ½ per annum quit Rent and the same is still yearly paid for it And yet the Claim made by Lady Ivy as aforesaid would take almost all this whole parcel away and by that 〈◊〉 the Ground wherein these last mentioned Tenements Orchards Gardens Ponds c. belonging to the Dean 〈◊〉 most certainly lye and are so exactly described in the aforesaid Survey and without which there could be to place there to hold and keep Water to drive the said Mill And for the mending that matter the Lady Ivy's Counsel at the last Trial alledged it had once been an Overshot-Mill and so did not want these Ditches and Ponds to hold and keep Water to drive it withal and the better to make that out some Deeds were then given 〈◊〉 Evidence with Stile and Titles before them which were not in use at the time of the date of those Deeds and so they were not believed when produced nor indeed is it sense in any sort to imagine that an Overshot-Mill there being no Water would drive one could in Nature have ever been there And yet Lady Ivy again would pretend to this Land Eastward of Foxes Lane as parcel of Wapping Marsh notwithstanding all this and a Verdict against her at a Trial in 1684. before the Right Honourable George Lord Jeffreyes Baron of Wemme the present Lord Chancellour then Lord Chief Justice of England and what was 〈◊〉 said then and may well be so again against her new found Deeds the finder of which as perjured has already been Pillory'd for it and notwithstanding that her Grandfather Iohn Stepkins Esq 16 Aug. 1615. did ●●mise to one Cayford the three parcels of Marsh lying next to and Westward of Foxes Lane which is held by 〈◊〉 Lease till this day and therein says that it lies at the East end of Wapping Marsh next towards Ratcliff ●●●tting Eastward on the old Wall which divided the same from the Mill-Ditch which lay just East of Foxes L●●e And the Michaelmas-Term following the said Iohn Stepkins suffered a Non-suit in the King's-Bench after 〈◊〉 Ejectment by him brought against the Dean's Lessee for part only of Wall-Marsh-Wall which he said was encroched on the Marsh. And In 1617. the said Stepkins Claiming again the same thing a Verdict on a full Hearing and after a View was in the Common Pleas given against him and allowing the whole Wall to belong to the Dean of St. Paul's And notwithstanding that her
