the_o pretence_n of_o the_o present_a east_n india_n company_n property_n state_v and_o consider_v as_o well_o in_o respect_n to_o the_o sole_a trade_n exclusive_a to_o all_o other_o as_o to_o their_o island_n fort_n &_o c._n the_o pretence_n of_o their_o property_n to_o the_o sole_a trade_n exclusive_a to_o all_o other_o be_v ground_v on_o the_o king_n charter_n which_o grant_v they_o the_o trade_n in_o that_o manner_n and_o provide_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v dissolve_v without_o 3_o year_n notice_n the_o proviso_n for_o 3_o year_n be_v as_o follow_v provide_v also_o that_o if_o it_o shall_v hereafter_o appear_v to_o we_o our_o heir_n or_o successor_n that_o this_o grant_v or_o the_o continuance_n thereof_o in_o the_o whole_a or_o any_o part_n thereof_o shall_v not_o be_v profitable_a to_o we_o our_o heir_n or_o successor_n or_o to_o this_o our_o realm_n that_o then_o and_o from_o thenceforth_o upon_o and_o after_o three_o year_n warn_v to_o be_v give_v to_o the_o say_a company_n by_o we_o our_o heir_n or_o successor_n under_o our_o or_o their_o privy_a seal_n or_o sign_n manual_n this_o present_a grant_n shall_v cease_v be_v void_a and_o determine_v to_o all_o intent_n construction_n and_o purpose_n upon_o this_o proviso_n the_o judge_n have_v give_v this_o follow_a opinion_n we_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o by_o this_o clause_n the_o east_n india_n company_n can_v be_v determine_v till_o after_o 3_o year_n warn_v give_v they_o under_o the_o privy_a seal_n or_o sign_n manual_n and_o that_o they_o will_v continue_v a_o company_n during_o the_o say_v 3_o year_n and_o may_v trade_n and_o act_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o make_v some_o observation_n on_o this_o opinion_n of_o the_o judge_n 1._o the_o judge_n opinion_n be_v give_v strict_o upon_o the_o forego_n clause_n of_o the_o charter_n with_o respect_n only_o to_o what_o the_o king_n himself_o may_v do_v which_o do_v no_o way_n limit_v the_o parliament_n for_o the_o parliament_n make_v void_a a_o charter_n grant_v to_o the_o canary_n company_n in_o anno_fw-la 1667._o and_o our_o king_n themselves_o in_o all_o reign_n have_v vacate_v their_o patent_n so_o soon_o as_o they_o have_v be_v find_v prejudicial_a to_o the_o public_a good_n 2._o the_o judge_n do_v not_o say_v that_o though_o the_o company_n continue_v a_o company_n and_o may_v trade_n and_o act_n that_o other_o their_o majesty_n subject_n may_v not_o likewise_o lawful_o trade_n into_o and_o from_o the_o east_n indies_n as_o well_o as_o the_o say_a company_n notwithstanding_o their_o charter_n 3._o they_o do_v not_o say_v in_o what_o manner_n the_o company_n may_v trade_n notwithstanding_o such_o notice_n whether_o as_o ample_o as_o ever_o they_o do_v before_o or_o if_o it_o may_v not_o be_v limit_v only_o to_o the_o bring_n home_o their_o effect_n 4._o they_o do_v not_o say_v the_o king_n can_v not_o give_v a_o concurrent_a grant_n or_o charter_n before_o the_o expiration_n of_o the_o say_v three_o year_n and_o indeed_o it_o seem_v strange_a to_o say_v that_o the_o king_n can_v give_v his_o subject_n leave_v to_o do_v that_o which_o they_o can_v lawful_o do_v without_o his_o leave_n 5._o they_o do_v not_o say_v the_o company_n have_v not_o forfeit_v their_o charter_n and_o that_o by_o a_o scire_fw-la facias_fw-la the_o king_n can_v not_o void_a it_o without_o any_o notice_n give_v they_o and_o have_v thus_o consider_v the_o judge_n opinion_n on_o the_o proviso_n i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v to_o consider_v the_o company_n pretence_n of_o property_n to_o the_o sole_a trade_n exclusive_a to_o all_o other_o there_o can_v be_v no_o property_n without_o a_o legal_a right_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o company_n have_v not_o a_o legal_a right_n they_o can_v have_v no_o property_n and_o that_o they_o have_v no_o legal_a right_n may_v appear_v by_o these_o follow_a consideration_n all_o property_n be_v ground_v on_o the_o common_a or_o statute_n law_n of_o this_o land_n and_o the_o company_n pretence_n of_o property_n to_o the_o sole_a trade_n be_v ground_v on_o the_o king_n charter_n only_o its_o plain_a they_o can_v have_v no_o other_o right_n or_o property_n than_o what_o the_o king_n can_v lawful_o grant_v they_o all_o trade_n be_v the_o right_n of_o every_o subject_a of_o this_o realm_n they_o can_v be_v exclude_v from_o it_o by_o grant_n from_o the_o king_n without_o consent_n in_o parliament_n and_o this_o appear_v not_o only_o from_o the_o petition_n which_o the_o company_n themselves_o prefer_v the_o last_o session_n to_o the_o honourable_a house_n of_o commons_o pray_v to_o have_v a_o act_n of_o parliament_n pass_v to_o confirm_v the_o say_a trade_n to_o they_o exclusive_a to_o all_o other_o but_o the_o same_o be_v likewise_o evident_a by_o the_o several_a judgement_n at_o law_n give_v since_o the_o late_a happy_a revolution_n against_o the_o east_n india_n company_n and_o the_o african_a company_n notwithstanding_o their_o charter_n and_o may_v likewise_o appear_v by_o the_o message_n which_o the_o king_n himself_o late_o send_v the_o house_n by_o a_o honourable_a member_n of_o his_o privy_a council_n and_o beside_o that_o the_o company_n have_v no_o property_n in_o that_o trade_n exclusive_a to_o other_o there_o will_v arise_v many_o inconvenience_n by_o their_o enjoy_n it_o three_o year_n after_o warning_n although_o they_o have_v a_o property_n thereunto_o and_o the_o whole_a trade_n will_v be_v in_o danger_n to_o be_v lose_v to_o this_o nation_n of_o which_o his_o majesty_n have_v be_v please_v to_o take_v notice_n in_o his_o message_n to_o the_o house_n on_o this_o occasion_n as_o the_o reason_n why_o he_o do_v not_o give_v they_o notice_n it_o will_v be_v therefore_o unnecessary_a to_o mention_v the_o particular_n but_o the_o company_n must_v nevertheless_o remain_v a_o company_n and_o body_n politic_a three_o year_n for_o some_o purpose_n otherwise_o many_o mischievous_a consequence_n will_v ensue_v the_o prevention_n of_o which_o must_v have_v be_v what_o be_v intend_v by_o the_o proviso_n in_o their_o charter_n for_o 3_o year_n warning_n for_o if_o the_o company_n shall_v cease_v and_o determine_v immediate_o there_o can_v be_v no_o proprietor_n to_o their_o estate_n there_o will_v be_v no_o body_n to_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o what_o be_v due_a from_o they_o to_o other_o nor_o to_o demand_v or_o receive_v of_o those_o who_o be_v debtor_n and_o accountable_a to_o they_o so_o that_o they_o can_v neither_o pay_v what_o they_o owe_v nor_o receive_v what_o be_v due_a to_o they_o nor_o divide_v their_o remains_o if_o any_o there_o be_v to_o the_o adventurer_n and_o as_o to_o the_o property_n they_o claim_v in_o their_o island_n fort_n etc._n etc._n in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o any_o man_n in_o england_n have_v to_o his_o manor_n and_o land_n it_o be_v evident_a by_o the_o clause_n in_o their_o charter_n before_o recite_v that_o their_o grant_n may_v determine_v and_o cease_v at_o 3_o year_n warn_v give_v under_o the_o privy_a seal_n or_o sign_n manual_n and_o when_o that_o be_v determine_v so_o be_v their_o pretence_n of_o property_n which_o therefore_o differ_v very_o much_o from_o the_o right_a a_o particular_a man_n have_v to_o his_o manor_n and_o land_n the_o one_o be_v found_v on_o a_o legal_a right_n the_o other_o depend_v only_o on_o the_o king_n will_v and_o pleasure_n but_o though_o they_o have_v no_o right_a or_o property_n to_o the_o sole_a trade_n it_o be_v to_o be_v acknowledge_v they_o have_v a_o right_n and_o property_n to_o their_o fort_n castle_n etc._n etc._n although_o not_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o they_o pretend_v the_o island_n of_o bombay_n and_o st._n helena_n be_v annex_v to_o the_o crown_n and_o hold_v of_o the_o manor_n of_o east_n greenwich_n at_o a_o certain_a quit_v rend_v can_v therefore_o be_v sell_v to_o the_o dutch_a or_o french_a or_o alienate_v from_o their_o majesty_n subjection_n their_o island_n fort_n etc._n etc._n be_v such_o as_o have_v either_o be_v grant_v to_o they_o and_o their_o successor_n as_o a_o company_n by_o the_o crown_n or_o have_v be_v purchase_v by_o they_o from_o the_o former_a east_n india_n company_n so_o that_o their_o property_n to_o they_o have_v a_o public_a regard_n to_o the_o trade_n which_o be_v national_a and_o their_o successor_n be_v those_o which_o shall_v succeed_v they_o in_o that_o trade_n as_o a_o company_n and_o it_o be_v therefore_o altogether_o different_a from_o the_o property_n which_o a_o private_a man_n have_v to_o his_o particular_a estate_n nevertheless_o it_o be_v but_o just_a a_o reasonable_a allowance_n shall_v be_v make_v to_o the_o company_n for_o they_o in_o the_o value_v of_o which_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v what_o the_o company_n pay_v either_o to_o the_o crown_n or_o the_o former_a company_n for_o they_o and_o the_o use_v and_o advantage_n they_o may_v be_v to_o the_o carry_v on_o the_o trade_n the_o value_n of_o which_o may_v be_v adjust_v by_o person_n indifferent_o choose_v on_o both_o side_n as_o have_v be_v former_o practise_v by_o several_a successive_a company_n and_o if_o any_o other_o fort_n &_o c._n have_v be_v acquire_v by_o the_o present_a company_n the_o value_n of_o they_o may_v likewise_o be_v adjust_v in_o the_o same_o manner_n upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n see_v that_o the_o east_n india_n trade_n be_v so_o necessary_a and_o advantageous_a and_o best_o to_o be_v manage_v by_o a_o national_a joint_a stock_n and_o that_o the_o present_a company_n have_v no_o right_a thereunto_o exclusive_a to_o other_o and_o that_o the_o say_a trade_n be_v already_o so_o much_o impair_v and_o in_o such_o danger_n to_o be_v lose_v to_o
