Apparent, did, in his Travels Abroad, contract a
strange Phrenzy, or Disorder, which disposes him to
the most horrid Mischief and Wickedness, and hath
continued in this Condition for the Space of Four
Years, behaving himself with the utmost Disrespect
and Insolence to the Petitioner, frequently threatening his Life, and giving other evident Tokens of
wicked Designs against his Person, though the Petitioner had never given him any Provocation, but
treated him with all Tenderness and paternal Affection; and hath also made desperate Attempts on the
Lives of other Persons, particularly in November last,
at Bath, against his own Servant; and was thereupon
confined by the Magistrates of that Place, and sent
up to London, where he is still kept and confined:
That he is next in Course to succeed to the Honour
of Lord Digby Baron of Geashill in the said Kingdom, and a considerable Estate, by several Settlements, limited to him and the Heirs Male of his
Body, with divers Remainders over: That the Petitioner hath Issue, besides the said John Digby, Three
Sons and Six Daughters; and that there is little
Likelihood that he will ever be cured or recover;"
and praying, "That Leave may be given to bring in a
Bill, for confining the Person of the said John Digby,
and debarring him from the said Honour and Estate,
and making some other reasonable Provision for him,
in such Manner as to this House shall seem meet."
Ordered, That the said Petition be referred to the
