Surrenders of Dignities to the Crown.
Mr. Attorney General's Report.
"In Pursuance of the Order of your Lordships,
dated the 26th of June, 1660, whereby we
are required to state the Case of the Lord
Viscount Purbeck, concerning Precedents of
the Surrender of Dignities to the Crown;
"We find, that the said Viscount Purbecke hath petitioned His Majesty to accept of a Surrender of the
Honour of Baron of Stoke and Viscount Purbeck, and
of the pretended Title to him in Remainder of the
Honour of Baron Whaddon of Whaddon, Viscount
Villiers, and Earl of Bucks; which His Majesty was
graciously pleased to accept of, and referred it to
One of us, and His Attorney General, to take Care
that a Fine, or some other Conveyance, be made
thereof.
"And we find the Precedents for surrendering of
Honours to the King to be as followeth:
"1. Roger Bigott, the last Earl of Norfolk and
Marshal of England of that Family, resigned
his Office, Honour, and Estate, unto K. E. I.
conditionally, to be restored to him if he
had Issue.
"2. William Herbert, Earl of Pembrooke, 19 E. IV.
resigned that Earldom.
"3. Charles Brandon, Viscount Lisle, surrendered
that Honour to H. VIII.
"4. Roger Stafford Esquire, 15 Car'l, levied a Fine
to the King, of the Honour, State, Degree,
Dignity, and Name, of the Barony of Stafford; which the King accepted of.
"5. Edward Tirrell Baronet, 14 Car'l. levied a
Fine unto the King, of the State, Degree,
Dignity, Title, and Name, of a Baronet;
which the King accepted of.
"Besides, we are informed that there are many
more Precedents of the like Nature.
"And the said Viscount Purbeck hath produced unto
us the Opinion of several Learned Counsel, that he
may legally surrender his said pretended Dignities to
His Majesty. And we are also of the same Opinion,
that he may legally do it, with His Majesty's Consent,
without the Consent of any other Person whatsoever.
"Jo. Glanvill.
"Jef. Palmer.
"Heneage Finch.
Informations against L. Purbeck.
"We find also the Informations to be in these Words:
"Informed by the Earl of Monmouth,
That, rather than the late King should want One
to cut off His Head, the Lord Viscount Purbeck
would do it himself.
"The Earl of Oxford saith,
"That the Lord Viscount Purbeck had rather wash
his Hands in the King's Blood, than in the Blood of
any Dog in England.
"16 June, 1660.
"That, at the pretended High Court of Justice, the
Lord Purbecke said to this Effect, "That Bradshaw
was a gallant Man, the Preserver of our Liberties;
and that he the Lord Purbeck hoped that Bradshaw
would do Justice upon that Tyrant" (speaking of
the King).
"Mr. Danvers, in Richard's Convention, 12 Feb.
1658, spake thus, standing near the Speaker's Right
Hand:
"Mr. Speaker,
"I wonder that I should be accused of being a Cavalier, or bearing Arms for Charles Stuart; which
I never did: For, I protest, I so much hated Him
and His Cause, that, because those of the Name of
Villiers did all side with Him and assist Him, therefore
I hated that Name also, and changed it for D'anvers.
"Monday, Dec. 17, 1649.
"Memorandum, That, the Day and Year abovewritten, young Rob't Villiers, Son to Viscount Purbeck, came in the Afternoon to the Earl of Monmouth's
House, being then in Queenes street, London; and,
amongst many other atheistical Speeches, wherein he
denied the Immortality of the Soul, and scoffed at
Judgement to come, he asked the Lady Philadelphia
Wharton, "What she seared? That she had read of
the Three-headed Dog Cerberus, and was afraid he
would bite her." He also, with blasphemous Words,
dared God to maintain His own Quarrel; asked her,
"Supposing she was shut up in a Sheet of Lead, only
a little Hole left against her Mouth to breathe at; if
that Hole were suddenly soldered up, whither her Soul
would go?" Lastly, he scoffingly said, "That God
was a good old Man, and troubled Himself with little,
&c. but He had a Son that was a dapper young Man,
that was likely to bestir Himself, &c."
"This is the Information of John Harris.
"All which Words, Matters, and Things, the said
Viscount Purbecke doth utterly deny.
"Jo. Glanvill.
"J. Palmer.
"Heneage Finch."
Order for restoring the E. Derby to the Possession of his Estate.
It being moved this Day, "That the Earl of Derby
might be put into the Possession of such of his Estate
as he hath not joined with others in the passing away,
or hath passed away himself by any legal Course of
Law:"
It is ORDERED, by the Lords in Parliament assembled, That the said Earl of Derby shall be put into
Possession of all his Houses, Lands, and Premises, by
the respective Sheriffs, Bailiffs, and other lawful Officers, in such Counties and Places where they lie and
be, that have not been passed, sold, or conveyed away,
singly by himself, or jointly with others; any Thing to
the contrary notwithstanding.
Order for restoring the Queen's Jointure Lands, &c
ORDERED, by the Lords in Parliament assembled,
That the Queen Her Majesty shall, and is hereby, restored to the Possession of all Her Jointure, Honours,
Manors, Lands, Rents, and Hereditaments, notwithstanding any Sales, Alienations, or Dispositions, made
by any pretended Authorities whatsoever.
and the King's Lands.
