Netterville Peerage, J. E. Netterville's Petition against the Claim of J. Netterville.

Upon reading the Petition of John Edwin Netterville of Hackney, in the County of Middlesex, Esquire; setting forth, "That the Petitioner is only Son and Heir of Edmond Netterville of the City of London, Merchant, who was only Son and Heir of Edmond Netterville of the same, who was only Son and Heir of Edmond Netterville of the Parish of St. Swithins, Walbrook, in the City of London, Esquire, who, as Petitioner has always heard in his Family, and believes, was the only Son and Heir of The Honourable Netterville, a younger Son of The Lord Viscount Netterville of Ireland, and who left that Country about the Period of the Revolution: That the Petitioner has seen the printed Evidence produced before the Committee of Privileges of their Lordships House, in the Claim of James Netterville of Causefield, in the County of Galway, Esquire, (who claims to be Lord Viscount Netterville, as Heir Male of Patrick Netterville, Third Son of Nicholas the First Lord Netterville,) in Page 26 of which Evidence is an Extract from an Answer to a Bill filed in the Chancery of Ireland, in the Year 1708 and 1709, by John the Fourth Viscount Netterville, to the following Effect; "This Defendant, (John 4th Viscount,) further answering, saith, that he heard and believes that Nicholas Netterville, the Defendant's Brother, died beyond Seas in or about the Year 1697, but does not know whether he had any Issue, or what Age he was at the Time of his Death:" That his Lordship, who died in 1727, appears evidently by this Answer to have been in ignorance of what Petitioner believes to have been the Fact, that his Brother Nicholas was then living, and probably in London at the Time: That this Brother did not die 'till the Year 1726 appears from a Paragraph in the London Newspapers, called The Whitehall Evening Post, of 6th January 1726, and The Political Star, of same Month and Year, viz.; that a Brother of The Lord Netterville (John, who died in 1727,) of the Kingdom of Ireland died in London on Saturday the 1st January of that Year: That this Brother must have been Nicholas, for James his other Brother did not die 'till 1741, and it appears evident, from the Answer of John Lord Netterville before quoted, that his Lordship had ceased to have any Correspondence with his Brother Nicholas, and in fact knew nothing about him, whether he was really alive or dead, for he only states his Hearsay and Belief, denying any positive Knowledge: That Petitioner verily believes that the said Nicholas Netterville was Father to his Great Grandfather Edmond Netterville before mentioned, and that if so, Petitioner himself, as the undoubted Heir of the said Edmond, (who he verily believes was only Son of said Nicholas,) is now the true and next Male Heir to the late Lord Netterville, and, as such, entitled to the Dignity of Lord Viscount Netterville of Ireland: That James Netterville, the Brother of Nicholas the Second Lord Netterville, was also living in the Year 1713, and, being married, may have had Issue, and if so, that the Petitioner's Ancestor Edmond Netterville may by possibility have been his Son, although Petitioner believes he was the Son of Nicholas aforesaid: That the Name of Netterville is very uncommon, and Petitioner has never heard of more than One Family of the Name, and being satisfied that he is of that Family, and descended as aforesaid from the Lords Netterville, he most humbly suggests that the Claimant James Netterville of Causefield should be called on to produce some better Evidence than that brought forward, to shew that there are no Male Descendants of the said Nicholas Netterville and James Netterville: That although Petitioner is not now able to produce such positive or legal Evidence as would prove his Great Grandfather to have been the Son of the said Nicholas Netterville, but believing him to have so been, he yet hopes by further Search to obtain such Evidence, and to convince their Lordships that he is the lawful Heir to the Title of Lord Viscount Netterville of Ireland: That their Lordships Petitioner does not impugn the Evidence brought forward on behalf of the said James Netterville of Causefield, the Claimant, as far as it goes to prove said James to be a Descendant of Nicholas the First Lord; but believing himself to be the nearer Male Relative of the late Lord Netterville, he cannot, in justice to himself, allow a Decision on the Claim without thus stating to their Lordships his own Pretensions to the Dignity in Question: That John, the Fourth Lord, being unacquainted with the Fate of his Brother Nicholas in 1708, but believing him to be dead since 1697, and no Communication appearing to have passed between them, it was natural enough for his Successors Nicholas and John (the Fifth and Sixth Lords Netterville) to conclude that said Nicholas, the Ancestor of the Petitioner, was dead, without Issue; and that the cautious Wording of the Will of the late Lord evidently shews that he was at least not certain that James Netterville of Causefield was his next Heir, and although presuming the Fact to be so, he still had certain Doubts and Misgivings in his Mind as to whether there might not be some nearer Heirs;" and therefore praying their Lordships, "before proceeding to Judgment in this Matter, to grant such reasonable Time to the Petitioner as may enable him to investigate and make Searches for further Evidence of his alleged Rights, and to produce such Evidence at the Bar of their Lordships House, or to take such other legal Steps as he may be advised:"

It is Ordered, That the said Petition be referred to the Lords Committees for Privileges to whom the Petition of James Netterville Esquire, of Frahane, late of Coarsefield, in the County of Mayo, in Ireland, to His Majesty, praying, That the Title, Dignity and Honor of Viscount Netterville of the Kingdom of Ireland may be declared and adjudged to belong to the Petitioner, together with His Majesty's Reference thereof to this House, and the Reports of The Attorney and Solicitor General for Ireland, and of The Solicitor General for England, thereunto annexed, stands referred, to consider and report.
