Park, near Dublin, the purchase money whereof with the mean
profits for eight years amounts to 980l., which the petitioner
did for His Majesty's convenience freely and without any consideration or satisfaction to this time surrender to the King:
further that the greatest quantity of petitioner's lands lie in
Wexford, the most barren part of Ireland, and yield not much
above the quit rent: therefore praying that the new quit rent of
78l. 15s. 9¾d. per an. may be remitted with the arrears thereof.

rents are so excessive chargeable. We consider petitioner a fit
object of your Majesty's grace. |

usurpers, provision was made in the late Act of Settlement that
he should be forthwith restored to his principal manor house
and 2,000 acres of land thereto belonging as a present subsistence until some way should be found for his further relief,
yet that he hath had no benefit by the said proviso and
therefore praying for his present support a grant of the quit
rent reserved upon his own estate [of which he is thus dispossessed] amounting to 150l. 2s. 7¼d. We find petitioner to be
deserving your Majesty's grace. |

(as by the order of reference of the 17th inst.), setting forth
that upon a report from the late Lord Chancellor of Ireland
of the loyalty and sufferings of John Talbott, petitioner's late
father, petitioner's restitution to his former estate was
directed by royal letters of 1660, Dec. 30, and 1661, Jan. 13,
and that he should hold same by the rents and tenures as in
Oct., 1641, but that same is now charged with new quit rents
and arrears as well of in custodiam rents incurred since the
Restoration as of rents reserved by the usurper upon leases
by him made and therefore praying, in regard he is declared
innocent and thereby restored to a remainder of his estate and
the other part is come to him by descent that his whole estate
may be freed from said quit rent amounting to 120l. 14s. 8d.
and the arrears thereof. Advise remission of said quit rents. |

that he is now possessed in right of his bishopric of a lease of
four quarters of the Termons Erneaugh [Erenagh] in the province
of Ulster, wherein he was but 26 years to come and was forced
in regard of a clause of exception in the Act of Settlement to
purchase the same of the [16]49 officers within whose security
same happened to lie: that after deduction of the bishopric
rent and rent charge thereon the value of said lands is but 48l.
clear and the quit rent thereon is 266l. per an., and therefore
praying remission of said quit rent On consideration of said
petition it does not appear to us whether said lease be
chargeable by law with said quit rent. If it be remitted the
Farmers of the Revenue, Ireland, will demand defalcation for
same. Therefore advise that the matter be speedily tried in
the Exchequer Court, Ireland, and meanwhile to suspend
process against petitioner. |
