32. Petition of Henry Earl of Marlborough to the King. In consideration of his father, then Lord High Treasurer, who had taken extraordinary care for planting the Caribbees, releasing unto the late Earl of Carlisle his interest in a grant of those islands, a rent charge of 300l. per annum, to be issuing out of St. Christopher's, Nevis, and Montserrat, was conveyed to the petitioner's father, himself, and afterwards renewed to the petitioner's son. Although a great revenue has been received from thence, the annuity is more than eight years in arrears, and he is informed that he cannot recover, because those islands are not within the jurisdiction of any of the King's Courts. Prays that the matter may be referred to the Privy Council, and all parties interested ordered to attend for his satisfaction. |
