A35615	The Case of James Percy, the true heir-male and claimant to the Earldom of Northumberland to the honourable knights, citizens, and burgesses, and to the Committee of Grievances in Parliament assembled : the humble petition of James Percy, cozen and next heir-male to Joscelin Percy, the late and eleventh Earl of Northumberland, deceased.		1680 (1680)	Wing C924; ESTC R19657	13,721	16

Answer was to the Claimant's first Petition in 1670. God forbid that we should hinder an Heir but that he should have the Benefit of the Law And to that purpose His Majesty ordered Sir John Berkenhead Master of Requests then in waiting to go to the Attorney General to know why he refused to sign the Co-warrant which the Claymants Sollicitor Mr. Thomas Swain presented to him to sign But the Attorney General said He could not sign Percie 's Co-warrant by reason that he was of Council for the Countess of Northumberland And the Court of Wards being put down did much wildernize the Claimant in his Proceedings and no less than nine several Persons have stood upon and been shelter'd under Priviledge which hath been the cause of delay all this time And from that time Mr. Swayn the Claymant's Sollicitor began to play the Devil with two sticks for whilst James Percy was prosecuting the Law and delivering Declarations in Ejectments in the North the Sollicitor had contriv'd the business so as the Title and Lands were begg'd dispos'd and scatter'd before the Claymant returned and then pretended the Co-warrant with other Writings was lost which cost a considerable Sum of Money and then arrested his Clyent James Percy in three several Suits at Law which continued three years But the Sollicitor Swayn was overthrown in all the 3 Actions moreover the Claymant James Percy was in those travels poisoned at New-Castle arrested at York in two Actions of 20000 l. each Action and then durst not proceed at Law but let the Actions fall and paid 40 s. Cost a poor satisfaction for a night and two days Imprisonment and maintaining my two Men and three Horses besides the Charge of spunging Bums And the actions were in the Lord of Essex and Mr. Clark and others Names And to fill up the measure of malice they published in the English Gazette and the French Gazette That the Claymant was an Impostor And Mr. Blackston said in all these Courts That the Claymant's Name was not Percy but declared him to be a Bastard with many more scandalous wordr which were proved at that Tryal before the Lord Chief Justice Scroggs notwithstanding he discharged Mr. Blackston and Sir George Jeffreys at that Tryal took Fees on both sides so the Claymant James Percy was clearly bought and sold and proved to his Damage 12000 l. Besides it was the occasion of this his present Imprisonment upon the Writs of Error that were so strangely dismiss'd the House of Lords without any Hearing notwithstanding the renewing and continuing after every Prorogation cost in all above 300 l. And now the Claymant James Percy hath used all ways and means possible as by his Petition and publick Prints appears and cannot proceed further without the Assistance of the Honourable House of Commons His Majesty is much troubled and the Claymant really believes that His Majesty had a cordial Desire to hear and see the Cause determined as by His coming up to the Bar of the House of Lords that day the Hearing should have been had Besides His Majesty may perceive I shall never leave my Claim till Justice be done by reason I now know it is my Right by Birth and Bloud and that the sole power of creating and preserving Honour rests in His Royal Breast as Flowers in the Crown And by the Coronation-Oath the King cannot take Titles from one Peer to give to another Peer But as God hath in mercy restored His Majesty to His Crown and Kingdoms even so ought the King in Justice to restore every Loyal Subject to the Birth right Title and Inheritance of his Ancestors It was very hard at first for the Claymant to find out the Name of his great Grandfather by reason he was in his Childhood brought up amongst his Mothers Relations And in the troublesome times he being a Royallist was forced to abscond and travel for many years But the Adversaries did wildernize the Claymant in hiding his great Grandfathers Christian Name from him For Sir Ingelram Percy was the Glaymant James Percie 's Great Grandfather and youngest Son of Henry Percy 5th Earl of Northumberland and this Collateral Line was never attainted and therefore ought to be restored according to Henry Percy the 5th Earls Patent and not under the Patent of the New-Creation by Queen Mary for Thomas Percy 2d Son of the 5th Earl was attainted but Sir Ingelram Percy 3d. Son was Innocent and so hath his Issue continued to this day And therefore prays for speedy Justice Justice removes oppression Glorifies God Honours the King Rejoyces the People puts an end to your troubles and ratifies Peace for which the Petitioner prays For Henry Percy 5th Earl Great Great Grandfather had Sir Ingelram Percy Great Grandfather who had Henry Percy Grandfather and he had Henry Percy Father of the Claymant JAMES PERCY
