To the Supreme Authority of this Nation, the Commons of England in Parliament Assembled. The Humble Petition of the Creditors of Sir Peter Temple, Knight and Baronet; whose names are hereunder written. Humbly showeth, THat the said Sir Peter Temple, being many years since indebted to the Petitioners in the several debts in the Schedule annexed, amounting to above 20000 l. and having a real Estate in Lands to the value of about 4000 l. per annum, and great store of woods upon those Lands to the value of 10000 l. at the least: And nevertheless intending to defraud his Creditors, of their said debts (a great part whereof is Orphans portions) And being a Member of this House, and having thereby protected his person, and Estate, he hath ever since refused to pay his debts, and hath not paid consideration for the same, and when he discovered, that this Honourable House was inclined to make the Estates of the Members thereof liable to the payment of their debts for relief of the Subject, than the said Sir Peter still to protect his Estate, made a secret conveyance of all his Estate, Rents and Revenues to some of his own special friends, (that is to say) to the Lord Savile and others, and to that conveyance annexed a Schedule of pretended debts, to be paid by the said trusties forth of the said Rents. Of which debts some were real, some were feigned, But these Petitioners, are by the said fraudulent Deed barred of their remedy against the said Estate, and these Petitioners are like to be all defrauded, unless they be relieved by the present Justice of this Honourable Assembly. For remedy herein, and forasmuch as the Lands of the said Sir Peter Temple are entailed, and in case the said Sir Peter should happen to die before provision made, for payment of the said Debts, the Petitioners would be altogether remediless, and for as much as he standeth outlawed after Judgement, for several of the said Debts. The Petitioners humbly pray that this practice of the said Sir Peter Temple (tending to the ruin of many of the Petitioners) may not be made use of, to the defeating of the Petitioners of their just Debts, but that such part of the said Lands and Woods may be sold for the speedy payment of the said just debts, as to your Wisdoms and Justice shall seem meet.
