issuing under the Great Seal of Great Britain, was
most graciously pleased to create the said John Lord
Ward Baron Birmingham a Viscount of the Realm,
by the Stile, Title, and Dignity of Viscount Dudley and
Ward of Dudley in the County of Worcester, to hold to
him and the Heirs Male of his Body lawfully begotten
and to be begotten, which said Letters Patent bear
Date the 21st Day of April 1763; that the Petitioner's said Father John Lord Viscount Dudley and
Ward was, in the ensuing Parliament, summoned to
Parliament, and was introduced and took his Seat in
this Honourable House on the 15th Day of November
1763, by the Dignity of a Viscount, and sat and
voted as such in that and other Parliaments until on
or about the 6th Day of May 1774, when the said
Viscount died, leaving John late Viscount Dudley and
Ward, and the Petitioner William Ward, his Two
Sons, by different Venters him surviving, and no
other Issue; that upon the Death of the Petitioner's
said Father, the Title of Viscount Dudley and Ward
came to and descended upon the Honourable John
Ward the eldest Son of the said Viscount Dudley and
Ward by his First Wife, and who being summoned to
Parliament, took his Seat in this Honourable House on
the 16th Day of May 1774, by the Dignity of a
Viscount, and sat and voted in that and other Parliaments by the Title of Viscount Dudley and Ward
until on or about the 9th Day of October last, when he
died without Issue, leaving his Widow Mary Viscountess Dudley and Ward, him surviving; that on
the Death of the said John Lord Viscount Dudley and
Ward, the Petitioner's Brother, without Issue as aforesaid, the Title and Dignity of Viscount Dudley and Ward
came to and descended upon the Petitioner, as the
Son and Heir Male of the first mentioned John Lord
Viscount Dudley and Ward, the Petitioner's Father;
that the Petitioner upon the Death of his Brother John
late Lord Viscount Dudley and Ward, without Issue,
applied to the Right Honourable the Lord High
Chancellor of Great Britain, Speaker of this Honourable House, requesting his Lordship to issue a Writ of
Summons to be directed to the Petitioner as a Peer of
this Realm, by the Name, Stile, and Title of William
Lord Viscount Dudley and Ward, but before the issuing
of the said Writ of Summons in favour of the Petitioner, it was thought proper that the said Mary
Viscountess Dudley and Ward should declare whether
she was pregnant or not; that the Petitioner caused
Application to be made to the said Mary Viscountess
Dudley and Ward by Robert Hinde of Lincoln's Inn,
Esquire, desiring that she would acknowledge, for
the Satisfaction of this Honourable House, whether
she was pregnant or not, in order to enable the Petititioner to take his Seat, and that the said Robert
Hinde waited upon the said Mary Viscountess Dudley
and Ward, and in a very delicate Manner represented
to her the Necessity and Propriety of her declaring
whether she was pregnant or not, when the said Mary
Viscountess Dudley and Ward informed the said Robert
Hinde that she did not chuse to declare herself to that
Question, and after some Conversation upon other Matters, when the said Robert Hinde was about to take
his Leave of the said Mary Viscountess Dudley and
Ward, she desired him to inform the Petitioner that
she would give no satisfactory Answer as to her Pregnancy; that the Petitioner hath no Reason to apprehend or believe that the said Mary Viscountess Dudley
and Ward is pregnant, but on the contrary, the
strongest Evidence the Case will admit of can be adduced by the Petitioner to prove that she is not pregnant, and the Petitioner apprehends that the said
Mary Viscountess Dudley and Ward refuses to declare
whether she is pregnant or not from Motives of
Enmity to the Petitioner, she having given that as her
Reason for it; and still further to harrass the Petitioner, the said Mary Viscountess Dudley and Ward is
preparing to leave this Kingdom and to retire into
Parts beyond the Seas;" and therefore praying,
That their Lordships will be pleased to direct that the
Petitioner shall be called to take his Seat in this honourable House as Viscount Dudley and Ward, or that
their Lordships will be pleased to cause Enquiry to be
made whether the said Mary Viscountess Dudley and
Ward is pregnant, either by issuing a Writ or Precept
in the Nature of the Writ de Ventre inspiciendo, and
also a Writ or Precept in the Nature of the Writ Ne
Exeat Regno, to restrain the said Mary Viscountess
Dudley and Ward from departing this Kingdom into
Parts beyond the Seas, or that the Petitioner may be
further or otherwise relieved in the Premises, as
their Lordships in their Wisdom shall think fit:"
It is Ordered, That the said Petition do lie on the
Table.
