WILLIAM HANSARD To the Honourable the Commons in Parliament assembled The humble Petition of Sir Frederick Hammiltoun Knight and Colonel Humbly shewing THat whereas there is a most scandalous Petition exhibited to this Honourable House against your Petitioner by and in the name of one William Hansard who as your Petitioner conceiveth is animated thereunto by some persons disaffected to the Petitioner for his former great zeal to the publike Service and antipathy to their Knavery in which Petition he alleadges that your Petitioner by vertue of an Order of this Honourable House should detain from him the rents and profits of certain Lands in and about Lifford in the County of Donnegal in the Kingdom of Ireland which Lands he pretends to be his by Decree of Chancery there and ratified and confirmed here by His Majestie And most falsly suggests to your Honours That the Petitioner should practise indirect means to force the Tenants to pay their rents as in that Petition is more fully and untruly inserted And this Petition that it may take the deeper impression is printed and disperst abroad meerly to vilisie and disparage your Petitioner in his Honour and Reputation thinking your Petitioner had that day the papers were disperst left the Town and gone to his Charge before Newark as he then intended not unknown to some of the Honourable Members of this House which if the Petitioner had gone without answering might have brought a harder opinion of him May it please your Honours your Petitioner hath but lately had interest in the said Lands onely as Heir to Sir John Vaughan late deceased whose Daughter your Petitioner married and in whose favour that Order which Hansard chargeth your Petitioner with was obtained and in his life-time received the Rents And for that Decree to which he pretends as out of the Chancery your Honours may be credibly informed that it shall be made appear to be no such Decree but an extrajudicial proceeding of the late Earl of Strafford ratified and confirmed here by the late Lord Keeper Finch one of Strafford's creatures and others meerly upon a bare Reference from His Majestie and by the Earl of Strafford's power and greatnesse for opposing of whose Tyrannical courses your Petitioners losses and sufferings have not been few That the Petitioners sufferings and losses not onely before and since the horrid Rebellion in Ireland are not unknown to this Honourable House besides how that he hath ventured life and estate to stand by the just Cause of Parliamentary proceedings never as yet having received either preferment or other reward from the Parliament nothwithstanding his constant Service and great Arrears due to him And now to be thus used by scandalous papers to be put in print and disperst against him it tends exceedingly not onely to the dishonour of this high Court and the Justice thereof but to the dejecting of all faithful generous Spirits who constantly adhere to the Cause and Covenant The premises considered And for that all that might be here alleadged to prove his right and title to the Lands aforesaid is too much to inseri by way of Petition his most humble suit therefore is That this Honourable House will be pleased for the present so far to vindicate your own Honour and Order and the Petitioners reputation as to make the said Hansard exemplary to all scandalous and vilifying persons by some such ways and means as your Honours shall think fit And for the determination of the premises to which he pretends right the Petitioner shall most willingly condescend and submit to the justice and equity of this Honourable House Humbly praying That in the mean time you would be pleased to cast an eye upon the following Case as it is truely stated and the proceedings mentioned And he shall pray c.
