1. FOr as much as the said Megges, partners, and farmors, were all one ioynt body in the said Allum businesse▪
2. For that all but Megges had seuerall protections from his Maiesty as one ioynt company:
3. For that all of them exhibited an accompt to his Maiesty as one body, and thereby receiued of his Maiesty 36100. pounds starling, accordingly.
4. For that the petitioner Morgans ingagem ents did arise onely by being Factor for them all, for that Allum businesse, as for one ioynt body.
5. For that all the petitioners demands appeare to be due by bills of exchange in writing, either vnderwritten, or accepted, by the said partners.
6. And for that the truth of the petitioners cause not onely appeares, by a ioynt report made by 2. Masters of the Chancery, 2. Aldermen of London, 2. Merchants of London, assisted with the Auditors of the Chancery:
Nota. As also vpon many other seuerall Reports, all grounded vpon depositions, accompts, and writings proued in Court, and after 6. deliberate hearings in open Court, after that they had Supplimentall proofe, and examined the Petitioner vpon in ••••rrogatories. And the same finally Decreed by ••••e Lord Chancellor:
THe most humble petition of Morgan is, that the said decree may be established, and confirmed by act of Parliament, and as the said partners were all one 〈…〉〈…〉 to receiue of his Maiesty and others, and to engage the petitioner, so they may be as one ioynt body to satisfie him, and that all their lands and goods, which they are or shall be ••••••eafter posses∣sed of, may be made all liable therevnto.
And although they haue made fraudulent conueyances of their estates, yet if the same be hereafter discouered, that then all such conueyances be made voyde.
