that the Petitioner, as Agent for the said Thomas
Hustler and Richard William Peirse, attended the
said Judges, and obtained their Report on the 25th

the said Report to be presented to this House on or
before the 15th of this Instant April; the Petitioner
supposing that it was only necessary for him to obtain the said Report from the Judges on or before
the said Day, and to present the same with the Bill
to the House in Season to be committed, when the
Witnesses would be ready to prove the Allegations
thereof, and that the Petitioner is but just informed
of his Mistake; all which Circumstances the Petitioner is ready to prove at Their Lordships' Bar, if
Their Lordships shall so please; that delaying of the
said Bill till the next Session of Parliament would be
very prejudicial to the Interests of the said Thomas
Hustler and Richard William Peirse;" and therefore
praying, "Their Lordships will be pleased to receive
the said Report, though through the above Mistake
of the Petitioner only, and not from any Fault of
the Parties concerned in the Matter of the said Bill;
the Time limited for received the same is elapsed."

at the Bar, touching the Allegations contained in the
said Petition:
And being withdrawn;
