A Petition of John Wolstenholme, Esquire, was read;

divers Manors and Lands, of about Two thousand Pounds
per Annum, in the Counties of Middlesex, Northampton,
Lincolne, and Yorke, upon himself for Life; after, for the
Petitioner for Life; and after, to his First and other Sons
on his Wife to be begotten, in Consideration of whose
Marriage the Settlement was made: That the Petitioner
hath Four Sons, and Four Daughters; the eldest Son being
about Fourteen Years of Age: That, before the Settlement, divers of the Lands settled were in Mortgage for
Five thousand Pounds; and the Petitioner's Father, by
reason of the late Times, became much in Debt, for which
the Petitioner was engaged, to prevent his ruin; the
which Debts he is no ways able to pay, but by Sale of
some Part of the settled Premises: And for that the Petitioner's Wife, her Trustee, the Petitioner's Relations and
Brothers, to whom the Lands are settled in Remainder,
being deeply sensible of the Petitioner's Condition, are
consenting, that a Parcel of Lands, called the Frith, and
several Closes near Boston in the County of Lincolne, should

Leave to bring in a Bill for enabling the Sale of the
said Lands, for the Purposes aforesaid.
