AN ANSWER To a Printed Paper Entituled THE CASE of Mary Dutchess of Norfolk IF notorious Untruths and false Inferences deserve the Name of a scandalous Libel the said Printed Case is one The Case sets forth That her Father the late Earl of Peterborough paid 10000 l. in Money and settled near 1000 l. per Ann. in Lands the remainder thereof to the Duke and his Heirs and a Personal Estate of 10000 l after the Decease of the said Earl and Countess and also 1000 l. per Ann. for twenty Years Besides very rich Jewels Plate and other things of great value which the said Dutchess brought into the Duke's Family And it 's pretended that her Grace hath since her Separation paid great Debts that had been contracted for the support of the Duke's Honour and his Service Answer Neither the Duke nor his Father received from his Grace's Family any more than 1000 l. to evidence which if the Duke pays back the 10000 l. as the Bill directs then her Estate is as entire and free to all intents as if he had never married her As to his having 1000 l. per Ann. for twenty Years to his Use as is pretended the Duke absolutely denys it or that he has Jewels Plate or any thing of Five Pounds value from her or her Family But soon after they married he was obliged to borrow 1500 l. to buy Linnen and Houshold Goods That within three Years which happened between the late Duke's Death and the parting of the now Duke and Dutchess she ran him out by extravagant expenses near 30000 l. above his Income to pay which obliged him to sell his Life in 2400 l. per Ann. out of his Estate in Sussex and Yorkshire That she has been so far from paying any debts for his Honour and Service that he has been sued and forced to pay several considerable Sums to Trades-men contracted by her without his Privacy tho' she had a 1000 l. a Year Pin-money all the while That upon her refusal to go into the Country and her Fathers refusing to receive her in any House of his she at her own request chose to go into France But the Duke did not concern himself whether she came back or not nor ever heard of her change of Religion till he felt it as well as heard it by her sueing him before the then High Commissioned Court for Alimony which forced him to retire beyond Sea from whence he returned about two Months before the King 's Landing It is a great assurance that the Dutchess's Agents have to mention what was Sworn by her Servants as disproving Hauseur and Vaness when it appeared so plainly that they were taught a Lesson which they greatly mistook and instead of disproving confirmed thechief part of the others Evidence And its pleasant that instead of Susannah Barrington who has been charged with the Privacy of the whole intrigue and appears to have been in the Dutchess's Service all along and likewise since the bringing in this Bill they should advance that Infamous Witness Frances Knight to be the Dutchess's Woman What they say of Bayly's contradicting Hauseur is upon a mistake which Bayly himself soon Corrected And the Dutchess's Servants were so far from proving the Dutch-Woman Vaness turned away before the rejecting the last Bill that one of the Dutchess's Witnesses proves her to have been the Dutchess's Servant while that Bill was depending
