In consideration whereof , your Honours Petitioners do humbly pray , that an Act may be granted for making good the said Sale against the said Children , the better to satisfie Purchasers . And in regard that the Sale of the said Mannor will not produce nor yeeld above Eight thousand pounds , the whole debt being above Nineteen thousand pounds : They the said Sir David Cuningham and the rest of the Creditors do most humbly pray , That an Act may be likewise granted for the rest of the said Sir James Enyons entailed Lands ( which is neer about twelve hundred pounds of yearly Rent ) to be made subject and liable to the payment of the rest of his said just debts , which is above Eleven thousand pounds more : there being no heir-male , but only three daughters , who may have fair and competent Portions besides of Two thousand five hundred pounds apeece at least : and this the rather ought and may in all justice and equity be granted ; in respect that the said James Enyon to the same effect , did in this last Parliament preferre a Petition and Bill in Parliament to cut off the intail , he having no issue-male ; And lastly , That the possession of the said entailed Lands may be ordered and setled to your Petitioners , towards the satisfaction and payment of their just Debts : To all which effect your Petitioners did lately Petition the Committee appointed for hearing , relieving , and representing to the State the grievances of the people , but nothing being yet done , they are thus again constrained to become Petitioners to your Honours , most humbly begging relief in the Premises , And they as in all duty bound shall ever pray , &c.
