Concerning the amending of Letters Pa∣tents.

Ordo Curiae.

VVHereas a Petition was lately exhibited to his Majesty, by Sir Kenelm Digby Knight, the Tenor of which Petition, and the Answer there∣unto followeth in these words:

To the Kings most Excellent Majesty. The humble Petition of your Ma∣jesties Servant, Sir Kenelm Digby, Knight,

Humbly Sheweth;

THAT whereas your Majesty was graciously pleased to bestow upon him certain Lands Escheated to your Majesty, by the death of John Calverley Esq; without Heir, part of which Lands lye in the County of Kent, and were

so mentioned in the Office found to in∣title your Majesty, and in the Bill Signed with your Royal Hand for pas∣sing thereof to your Petitioner; but at the Signet Office, by the mistake of the Clerk taking the Letter L for a K, are mentioned to lye in Com. Kank. and by that Error are so mentioned, both at the Privy Seal, and Great Seal, and the Inrolling thereof, which your Petitioner cannot have amended, without your Ma∣jesties special Warrant.

Your Petitioner therefore most humbly beseecheth your Majesty to be gra∣ciously pleased to give a Warrant, that they may be amended and made agreeable to the Bill Sig∣ned, and the Patent after the Amendment thereof new Sealed, as in such cases is usual.

And Your Petitioner shall daily pray, &c.

At the Court at Salisbury, the 9th of August, 1635.

HIS Majesties Pleasure is, That these Mistakings be Amended and made agreeable to the Bill Signed; and the Patent, after the Amendment there∣of,

new Sealed, as in such Cases is usu∣al, and as here is desired.

John Coke.

In conformity to which his Maje∣sties pleasure, the Right Honourable the Lord Keeper having seen as well the said Letters Patents, as the Privy Seal whereupon the same did pass, re∣maining in this Court; and having also seen the Original Bill signed under his Majesties Hand, and the Transcript thereof which passed the Signet, and finding the Information in the said Petition to be very just and true, and having advised thereof with his Maje∣sties Attorny General, hath Ordered, That the Privy Seal remaining in this Court, and the Inrolment thereof be amended, and that the Seal be pulled from the Letters Patents, and the same Patent amended and new Sealed, ac∣cording to his Majesties good Pleasure. And this Order, grounded upon his Majesties Direction,* 1.1 shall be a sufficient Warrant to the Clerk and other Offi∣cers of the Court to whom it apper∣taineth for the doing thereof.
