was wholly ignorant of the said Decree of 1627. had any Interest in the drowned lands other then such who had likewise such interest in the sommer lands as those disproportions were for their advantage That the Decree of the 5th of September 1633. was signed by ten Commissioners of whom one onely had such interest in the drowned lands as rendered those disproportions to his disadvantage That of eight Commissioners who signed the Decree of June the 4th 1639. there was not any one of them but had a benefit by those disproportions and six of them were not at all interessed in the drowned lands And that of twelve Commissioners who signed the Decree of June the 4th 1640. there were onely three that had any Interest in the drowned lands of whom Mr. Gibbon and my Self were two neither of us then having any knowledge of the Decree of March 1627. the third was the late Lord Culpeper who I beleeve was then likewise ignorant of that Decree nor can the Animadverter make it appear that he knew thereof but howsoever his Interest in the sommer-lands was such as that those disproportions redownded to his Lordships benefit Neither can I find upon perusal of the Decrees That at any Session of Sewers holden for the said Levels from 1632. till 1645. there were ever three Commissions present who had not such Interest in the sommer-lands if Owners but that those disproportions accrued to their profit the Owners of the sommer-lands had so wisely provided for their Interest at the renewing of that Commission which for your Lordships satisfaction therein will fully appear to your Lordships by perusing the Commissioners names impowred by the Commission of those times which I have hereunto annexed most of whom with their Interests and Relations are well known to your Lordships viz.

The Expenditor of Romney Marsh Q. The Expenditor of the five Waterings Q. The Bayliffs and Expenditor of Walland Marsh Out of which number the Animadverter fol. 44. hath selected 26 Commissioners whom he conceived but of a false conception were for the Interest of the drowned lands viz. Nicholas late E. of Thanet John Lord Tufton Sir John Shelley Sir Walter Roberts Sir John Wildegoss Sir Ralph Bosvile Sir Ale Culpeper Sir John Fowle Sir Iohn Culpeper William Shelley Robert Foster Iohn Culpeper Edward Bromfield William Boys Thomas Dike William Culpeper Ralph Bufkin Thomas Sands Richard Porter Peter Courthope William White Thankfull Frewen Edmond Gibbon Richard Downton William Muddle Ioseph Benbridge In Answer whereunto I must acquaint your Lordships That Nicholas Earl of Thanet and Thomas Dike Esquire were dead before this Commission issued which ushered in the great oppression which after fell upon the Owners of the drowned lands That Sir Ralph Bosvile and Richard Porter were wholly interessed in the sommer-lands That Sir Iohn Fowle and Sir Iohn Culpeper had such Interest in the sommer-lands as that it was for their advantage to reduce the scots unto the disproportions of twelve pence and four pence That fourteen of those 26 Commissioners had not then any lands in the said Level and may not be said to be more for the interest of the drowned lands then sommer-lands And that it cannot be made to appear that at any one time during the continuance of that Commission there appeared at any Session of Sewers more then three Commissioners of such Interest in the drowned lands as rendered those disproportions prejudicial unto them And now do your Lordships judge whether the scots were in the yeer 1633. reduced to twelve pence per Acre drowned lands and four pence per Acre sommer-lands by the full and free consent of the Owners of the drowned lands or by the Power and Influence which the Owners of the sommer-lands had in that Commission And I desire your Lordships to observe How that the Animadverter doth often affirm That the scots were reduced to those disproportions by the full and free consent of the Owners of the drowned lands and as often That it was in pursuance of the pretended previous Agreement Of which Agreement it seems the Grand-children have better knowledge then their Grandfathers had whom they pretend to be parties thereunto From whose example the present Owners of the sommer-lands have for several years past as is well known to your Lordships indeavoured to procure a Commission for the said Levels with the like advantages From what hath been declared your Lordships may Collect what full and free consent there was of the Owners of the drowned lands for alteration of the manner of scotting so solemnly setled in 1627. by Award Consent and Decree of Sewers and which continued till the yeer 1633. and by the express words and intendment of that Decree which is set down in my remonstrance fol. 26. was to be continued for all future works Which notwithstanding the Animadverter fol. 35. with great confidence affirms That the four learned Lawers who made that Award did not intend that the
