Title of Lord Rosse:"
The said Petition and Reference was read, as followeth:
His Petition to the King.
"To the King's Most Excellent Majesty.
"The humble Petition of George Duke of Bucks,
Baron Ross, of Rosse, Hamlak, Tresbut, and
Belvoire, &c.
"Sheweth,
"That John Mannors, Eldest Son of the Earl of
Rutland, makes a Pretence to, and calls himself by
the Name of, the Lord Rosse; although the same Title,
with all other Titles belonging to the Barony of
Ross, do solely belong to your Petitioner: Wherefore, to remedy the present, and to prevent future
Mistakes of this Kind,
Your Petitioner humbly prayeth, Your Majesty
will be graciously pleased to refer the Consideration and Determination thereof to Your
House of Peers.
"And Your Petitioner shall ever pray,
"Buckingham."
Reference to this House.
"At the Court at Whitehall, December 10th,
1666.
"His Majesty is graciously pleased to refer the Consideration of this Petition, and the Determination of
the Controversy therein expressed, to the Right Honourable the House of Peers; who are to do in it as
their Lordships shall find just and fit.
"Arlington."
Upon this, the Lords made this Order following:
Upon reading the humble Petition of George Duke
of Bucks presented to the King's Majesty; shewing,
That John Mannors, Eldest Son of the Earl of Rutland,
makes a Pretence to, and calls himself by the Name of,
Lord Rosse, which Title the said Duke of Bucks lays
Claim to as solely belonging to him; and His Majesty's
Reference made thereupon to this House for the Determination of the Controversy therein expressed: It is
thereupon ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That, on Monday the One
and Twentieth Day of January next, this House will
hear Counsel on both Parts, at the Bar, concerning the
same; and that the Earl of Rutland is to have timely
Notice thereof.
Report concerning the Title of L Roos.
The Lord Chamberlain reported, "That the Committee (to whom it was referred to endeavour to find
out some Expedient as might satisfy all Parties concerning the Title of Lord Rosse) have endeavoured
what they can, and find no Expedient; therefore the
Committee return the Business to this House."
And, upon further Consideration thereof, it was ORDERED, That the Lords Committees to whom the Bill,
intituled, "An Act for the illegitimating of the Children of the Lady Anne Rosse," stands committed,
shall meet To-morrow in the Afternoon, and at such
other Times after as they shall think fit, to proceed upon
the several Expedients offered and debated in the House
this Day, and to prepare such Provisos as they shall
think fit to be offered to the House.

Mangie, menial Servant to the Duke of Bucks, was
arrested, in the Beginning of November, 1665, within
the Time of the Privilege of Parliament, by Daniell
Prince and Thomas Warland, Serjeants at Mace,
under Mr. Thomas Burwell and Mr. Richard Carter,
late Bailiffs of the City of Oxford, notwithstanding
the Protection of the said Duke under his Hand and
Seal granted to the said George Mangie was produced,
but would not be allowed by the said Bailiffs nor
Serjeants, nor by Mr. John Paynton, Town Clerk of
the said City:"
Burwell, Carter, &al. sent for.
It is thereupon ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and
Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the said Mr.
Thomas Burwell, Mr. Richard Carter, Mr. John Paynton,

And hereof they may not fail.
