A Reply to the Answers to the Arguments, &c.
TO the two first Answers. That the Lord Bannings debt, and the Lady Homes debt, and the money (if any) deposited for discharging precedent incumbrances, shall be satisfied, and other debts which will never be payed (unlesse this Bill passes) will be truly dis∣charged.
To that concerning the Earl of Manchester under whom Mr. George Montague claimes, the Earl of Cleveland is contented, that Mr. Mon∣tague shall not only receive the Principal and Interest deposited by the Earl of Manchester; but also all moneys expended by the Earl of Manchester, or himself in building, or otherwise improving the Estate.
The Earl of Clevelands defires are, that this Case, being of great consequence to many of his ancient, and principal Creditors, and Sureties (who Petition the House of Commons that this Bill may pass) may be committed, and the equity of it examined by such persons as the House shall appoint, and that he may not be forejudged in this business, but that this Bill which after long debate passed the House of Lords, may in the House of Commons receive a candid audience, the endeavours to prevent the same, arguing more of Interest and Animosity, than of Justice or Equity; that being the most just sentence which passes after the fairest hearing.
