Since which Suit Hil. 1. W. and M. 1689. Judgment Hil. 3. W. and M. 1691. Application has been frequensly made to the several proper Officers by the said Patents appointed for striking Tallies and Payment thereof who nevertheless have caused the same to be stopped so that some of the Proprietors were enforced to Commence their Suits in the Courts of Enchequer and after a full hearing on both sides obtained Judgments thereupon But Writs of Error being brought against the said Judgments Writs of Error Easter Term 4. W. and M. 1692. all the rest of the Judges of England were convened who upon solemn Debates and Arguments delivered their Opinions in Court before the then Lord Keeper now Lord Chancellor That the said Judgments were good in Law and ought to be affirmed for that the said Letters Patents were duly granted by the said King Charles the Second who had power to grant the same and which were for good and valuable Considerations and that the said several Suits had been pursued in proper Methods for Remedy except the Lord Chief Justice Treby who differed as to the manner of the Remedy only Notwithstanding which Lords Keepers Opinions Mich. 8. W. 3. 1696. Seat 31. Edw. 3. Cap. 12. the then Lord Keeper was pleased to Reverse the said Judgments for Error although the Statute which appoints the Lord Chancellor Judge of the Court of Errors directs That if any Error be found the Court should correct and amend the Rolls and after send them into the Exchequer to make Execution as pertaineth Note Such Writs of Error against the King could not be Sued forth until the Judgment should be Entered nor without His Majesty's leave first obtained But notwithstanding all due Application to the proper Officers to enter the said Judgments Judgment Entered 15. Feb. 169● the same could not be procured but was delayed by the space of five Terms Soon after Repert D●t 28 Feb. 169● Writs of Error were prepared returnable in Parliament and Petitions to his Majesty presented at the Secretary of State 's Office praying leave to return the same which Petition was referred to Mr. Attorney-General who reported That in regard the Question upon the said Proceedings was Matter of Law upon which there had been variety of Opinions he was humbly of Opinion it might be reasonable for His Majesty to grant Writs of Error to the Petitioners according to their humble Request all which he humbly submitted to His Majesty's Royal Wisdom But no further Answer can yet be had for obtaining the said Writs by which means the Prosecutors are incapacitated to bring the Cause into the House of Peers This being the Case of several thousands of the Subjects of England of all Qualities and Conditions and the Value so considerable and after so much Time and Money spent in Law and Judgments in the Court of Exchequer given in their behalf and so many of the Judges Opinion in their favour thereupon and the Matter still depending and intended to be brought into the House of Peers 'T is hoped the Honourable House of Commons will so far preserve the Property of the Subjects of this Realm as they have been accustomed that whereas there is a Bill brought into the House for applying the Hereditary Excise to the Payment of the Civil List that their Legal Rights may not be prejudiced by the said Bill
