high a Displeasure at the late Lord's ill Usage of his Brother that his Lordship promised to do his Brother Right by leaving Matters as they were intended in the Original Settlement but was diverted from doing it by the forementioned Instruments That on the late Lord's Marriage a new Settlement was made by Sir Robert King 's Directions wherein he got himself and his Children Nam'd next in Remainder after the late Lord Robert 's excluding the present Lord without Power of Revocation the said Lord Robert having been plyed with Company at the Tavern for Eight Days together and continually incens'd against his Brother while the Deed was preparing till 't was perfected That the late Lord declar'd to his Lady that he was sorry he had settled the Estate on Sir Robert King that if he cou'd he wou'd Revoke or Alter the Settlement or get an Act of Parliament for doing it as appears by that Lady's Answer to a Bill of Sir Robert 's Filed against her in England in 1694. That the late Lord Kingston made a Declaration and Deed under his Hand and Seal Revoking the Settlement made in 1685 on Sir Robert King and Granting his Estate to his Brother and his Heirs if they shou'd come within the Law and the Remainder to Sir Robert King which was proved by three Witnesses That Sir Robert King Oppos'd the present Lord's Passing his Pardon and Reversing his Outlawry and when his Endeavours prov'd ineffectual in both he got an Injunction to Quiet him in the Possession of the present Lord's Estate in Munster which his Lordship had Entred on by his Servants That Sir Robert having Intimation given him by Dean Cope and others of some Papers being left by the late Lord for his Brother us'd means to suppress them but being Unsuccessful he rak'd what Witnesses he cou'd to prove them Supposititious to bring the present Lord into Infamy and to Ruine him for ever That Sir Robert wrought his Ends so with the late Lord Kingston as to get him to perfect Deeds to him of 600 l. or 800 l. per Annum of the New Estate That from Sir Robert King 's Buildings at Rockingham to Raise which he made use of the Rents of the present Lord Kingston 's Estate and which are so Sumptuous as not to bear any proportion to his own Fortune it may well be inferr'd that he had his Designs all along on the Lordships of Boyle and Michelstown And that because the Deed of December 1684 was revokeable Sir Robert or Captain Choppine to get an absolute Deed propos'd to buy the Town of Sligoe for the late Lord Kingston and to put 2000 l. in his Pocket provided he would give up the Possession of the whole Estate to Sir Robert and settle it upon him thinking the Estate kept too long from him which shews his constant Endeavour to shake the Lord Robert off as well as the present Lord Kingston Now in Answer to all the forementioned Particulars Sir Robert King does declare first That he never knew or heard that there was any Intail of Michelstown much less that the late Lord Kingston had any Design of Docking it And that he never gave Mr. Gosling Orders to write any such Letter as the Libeller mentions to Mr. Raymond Sir Robert King does also further declare That tho' he heard of several Fines levied by the late Lord Kingston in 1682 of particular Parts of his Estate for the Security of Creditors yet of none to his viz. Sir Robert's Advantage or with Design of Prejudicing the present Lord. And as touching what is alledg'd by the Libeller concerning Sir Robert King's coming to Mr. Sprigg in 1683 or 1684 and of desiring him to Draw such a Settlement of the late Lord Kingston 's Estate as might deprive his Lordship of Power to make Jointures or Provision for Younger Children or Leases for Lives or Years c. Sir Robert do's say That he never spoke one Word to Mr. Sprigg to that intent And as the Libeller himself acknowledges Mr. Raymond whom he is pleased to stile Sir Robert's chief Accomplice did violently exclaim against the Unreasonableness of such a Settlement And those very Letters from Mr. Raymond produced by the Libeller do plainly prove it to have been solely of Captain Choppine's preparing and directly contrary to Sir Robert's Sentiments he having oppos'd the Making of any such Settlement of the late Lord Kingston's Estate as should be Irrevokeable and having also often declar'd as Raymond affirms in his Letter * Vid. Append No. 8. The Substance of Mr. Raymond's Letter as in the Materials c. dated the 20th of May 1684. That he thought it very reasonable that his Lordship should have Power to Alter the Uses as he saw cause And it was the Unacceptableness of such an Irrevokeable Settlement to Sir Robert King which Mr. Raymond very pressingly urg'd in his Letter to Captain Choppine that prevailed with the late Lord to alter his Measures and put a stop to his hasty Designs of levying a Fine and Recovery upon his Estate And so far was Sir Robert from having left this Deed in Captain Choppine 's hands with Instructions to get it perfected and from going then for England on purpose that he might not be thought to have a hand in it that he knew not of any such Deed being drawn or directed to be prepared when he went for England in February 1683 as he not only solemnly professes but is also ready to depose upon Oath And as touching those Clauses in that Settlement that Captain Choppine prepared and the late Lord Kingston made which excluded the present Lord and his Issue from the Remainder of the said Estate Sir Robert King does freely own that he was then and still is of Opinion that they were such as well became the Honour of the late Lord Kingston to insert and of the present Lord to have consented to for as Sir Robert himself declares in his intercepted Letter to Dr. Quail produc'd by the Libeller the present Lord could not sure be against Excluding the Children of Pegg Cahan to whom if he be not Married it cannot prejudice him if he be he cannot think her Children fit to Inherit Boyle c. Now to shew how suitably to his Uncle's Sentiments the present Lord Kingston expressed himself concerning this Affair and how highly he resented the Injustice of his Friends in suspecting him Married to so mean a Woman and how seriously in all appearance he declar'd his Abhorrence of so disgraceful a Design I shall produce some Passages out of his Lordship's Letter * Vid. The present Lord Kingston 's Letter in the Append. No. 9. to Mr. Gosling dated from Paris May the 23 d. without mentioning the Year wherein he severely Reprimands his Friends for their unworthy Reflections on his Veracity and known Wisdom in believing him Guilty of such an Action as would render him not only a Person of great Imprudence but also of a profligate Reputation the
