royal blazon or coat of arms ❧ By the King. ¶ A Proclamation declaring His Majesty's Royal Grace and Pleasure, to confirm to His Subjects their defective Estates in their Lands and Possessions, by His Commission lately renewed and enlarged to that purpose. WHereas for the good of Our Subjects, We have been graciously pleased, to renew and enlarge Our former Commission of Grace, and have thereby authorized the Lords and others of Our Privy Council, and some of Our judges and learned Council, to sell, grant, and confirm to such of Our Subjects, whom it may concern, their Defective Estates, Possessions, and Titles, in such Manors, Lands, Tenements, Leases, and Hereditaments as they enjoy, not only by colour of void or insufficient grants, or by Patents of concealments: but for those Lands also which they now hold by intrusion only, without Title derived from the Crown, and which are not established to them by Act of Parliament in the one and twentieth year of Our late Royal Father. And howsoever the former slackness of Our Subjects in taking hold of the tender of this grace in times before, might justly induce Us to cut off the Current and course thereof now, and to make advantage thereof to Ourself and Our own benefit; Yet We out of Our Princely desires of the common good of Our people, and to settle and quiet them in their Estates and Possessions, have been pleased once more to make known these Our Royal Intentions of favour to such of Our Subjects as shall timely embrace the same. And therefore We do hereby declare Our Royal Pleasure to be, That such of Our Subjects as shall seek to have their defezible and defective Estates and Possessions, in any their Manors, Lands, Tenement, Leases, or Hereditaments, derived, or detained from the Crown, to be made good and established to them, upon moderate compositions, (which We intent shall be applied to Our own use) That they before the beginning of Hilary Term next, do repair to Our now Commissioners, at a house in Fleetstreet (where Our Commissioners for Our Revenue (while We were Prince of Wales) did usually meet) where Our now Commissioners will have their frequent meetings for the Suitors dispatch: Nevertheless We do hereby also let them know, that such of Our People as shall not now apprehend this present opportunity of Our Grace and Favour, may not expect it hereafter, We minding by course of Law to reduce those Lands to the Crown again, or otherwise to dispose them to such as shall become Suitors to Our Commissioners to compound for the same. Given at Our Court at oatland's, the four and twentieth day of August, in the eleventh year of Our Reign of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland. ¶ God save the King. ¶ Imprinted at London by ROBERT BARKER, Printer to the Kings most Excellent Majesty: And by the Assigns of JOHN BILL. 1635.
