Male of his own Body, the
Eldest Heir Female of the
Body of his Son Lord Angus,

the Body of the said Eldest
Heir Female of the Marquis's
own Body, should succeed to

"10th March, 1707.

Favour of the said Archibald,

House would give the Appellant such other Relief
in the Premises as to their Lordships in their great
Wisdom should seem meet:" And Likewise upon the

complaining of Part of Two of the said Interlocutors, of

or otherwise disposed of, for the Benefit of the Persons claiming under the Will of Matthias Perkins
Gentleman, deceased; and for empowering John Perkins his Son to make such Leases of his Estate, at

And thereupon the House proceeded to take into
Consideration the Motion made Yesterday, for dispensing

"That, although Mr. Perkins is under an Agreement with the Earl of Cardigan to grant a Lease for
Sixty Years of the Scite in Question, there is a fair
Prospect that the Earl will chuse to become a Purchaser thereof, at an advantageous Price, rather
than take such Lease, in case Mr. Perkins shall be
enabled to sell as well as lease; nevertheless, such
Sale depends altogether at the Will of the Earl,
after Mr. Perkins is enabled to sell or lease.
"That, should this Act pass into a Law, and the said
Earl should afterwards decline carrying the Agreement for a Lease into Execution, or becoming a Purchaser; it would, in that Case, be for the Benefit of
Mr. Perkins, and all Persons who may claim an Interest in this Estate under the Testator's Will, that a
Power should be given to sell.
"That the Premises, under the present Title, and
in the Situation they are now in, are of a small and
incertain Value.
"That express Provision is made, by the Act, to deposit the Money arising by the Sale of the Premises
(in case the same shall be sold) in the Bank of England, until a proper Purchase can be met with."
And Consideration being had thereof:

with, in this Case.
