An ANSWER to a late printed Paper, entitled, The Case of the Creditors of Sir Robert Vyner, who have complied with his Proposals.  
THat Paper mentions Proposals made and Signed by the greater part of Sir Robert Vyner's Creditor, and that the performance thereof was hindered by the Obstinacy of some few of the Creditors, and that the comforming Creditors were in h●pes to have the benefit of a Bill which was passing, and so to oblige the rest; But the Dissenting Creditors had prevailed upon the Committee, to insert a Proviso, excluding Sir Robert Vyner's, Concerns, and unless that Proviso was expunged, the Estate would be torn to pieces, and no equal Distribution could be made and that 250 of Sir Robert Vyner's Creditors have Subscribed for above 60000 l. which is the greater par● b●●h of Number and Sum.  
☞ The Proposals in 1684 were for taking 20 l. per Cent, and the whole Interest in Money and the remaining 80 l. per Cent by Assignments; and if the Debts were computed together, there will appear due at least 40 l. per Cent for Interest on each Bond; so that the Creditors at that rate, must have 60 l. per Cent. in Money: But Sir R●bert by his Will, and his Executor in his printed Proposals, Dated the 1st. Day of January, 1689. absol●tely disagree from those Proposals, and mention paying but 30 l. per Cent. of the Principal only, which is but half so much in Money as those Proposals were; and by that it seems that those Proposals are now only made use of by the Executor to ensnare, and not to be performed. And it appears by the Management of the Affair, that the Executor is more concerned herein than the Subscribing Creditors.  
If the mayor part of Sir Robert Vyner's Creditors have Subscribed? The other Creditors are not against their being satisfied accordingly, but they hope they shall not be thereby Concluded; and if they are but ● f●w, the Executor may more easily comply with them; And Sir Robert and his Son being Dead, it is but reasonable that his Estate both Real and personal should be Discovered,( the Executor having hitherto not given in any Inventory, or answered any Bill in Chancery for Discovery thereof) and that the whole Estate should go to pay the just Debts, and not to enrich the Executor, or his complices; nor to be Divided amongst several Relations, and Four Hospitals, according to Sir Robert's Will: And if those Creditors who have Signed those former Proposals, Exhibit a Bill in Chancery against the Executor, either that those Proposals should be voided or performed, their business will be quickly ended without an Act of Parliament.  
☞ Several of Sir Robert Vyner's Creditors have Judgments, and some have extended several Lands and Tenements of Sir Robert's for their Debts, and Sir Robert in his Will hath Ordered that the encumbrances should be first paid, and Sir Robert in his life-time did agree with several of the Creditors( who now Pros●cute) for paying them their whole money; and Mr. Edwards( a Creditor of Sir Robert's) had long since received his Debt out of Sir Robert's Estate, if the Law had not been perverted, and his Proceedings most unjustly and barbarously granted by a Privy Seal from the late King James to Richard Beauvoyr Esq; in trust for Sir Robert himself, contrary to all Law and Justice,( and Mr. Russel( another of Sir Robert Vyner's Creditors) had also long since received his Debt, if that Privy Seal had not prevented him; and after such hard acknowledge to have the Proviso expunged to oblige the Executor, and to injure real Creditors, is very unreasonable.  
☞ Sir Robert in his life-time always made Complaint of his Losses by the late King Charles the II., and his Executor revives the same Complaint, although there is no need; for Sir Robert( Consideratis Considerandis) was a great Gainer. Sir Robert began his Concerns with his late Majesty, in 1660 and Lent his late Majesty money; and in the Year 1667. he had 14 Hundred Thousand pounds in his Majesties Hands; and he had for the most part 12 per Cent and never less then 10 per Cent. and Interest often cast up and made Principal; and after this rate, before the Exchequer was shut up; it will appear by the accounts s●ated from time to time, that he was at least 2 Hundred Thousand pounds Gainer before the time of shutting up the Exchequer; and Sir Robert being fearful of a prosecution for his extorting Usury, did in September 1672 procure his Pardon for Usury.  
☞ The Exchequer was shut up in December 1671. and Sir Robert's accounts were stated and made up to the 1st. of January 1676( being 5 Years after) and Sir Robert had Privy Seals for Gratuities and Rewards, and for keeping Money in readiness, and such like Contrivances, inserted in that account, which amount to above 100000 l. clear Gains, as will appear by that account, which is now in the hands of Mr. Aldworth: And some of the Creditors did in Sir Robirt Vyner's life-time, after they had perused that account, Petition the then Lords of the Treasury for a Copy thereof, which the Lords were pleased to Grant, and it was copied by Mr. Aldworth; But before the Creditors could obtain the Copy, Sir Robert got an Order privately to hinder the same.  
☞ That account with the aforesaid Gains inserted, amuonted to 416724 l. 13 s. 1 d. halfpenny: And Sir Robert in his life time Assigned all that( except 60000 l. and the Interest thereof from Lady-Day 1683.) to his Creditors for full value, and took up his Bonds; so that he hath already assigned Forty Thousand pounds more than he had in the Exchequer when the Exchequer was shut up;& now according to their own Paper, as many Creditors have Signed to take 80 l. per Cent by Assignments, to the value of 60000 l. which will almost clear the remainder; and Sir Robert was always more behind with his Creditors for interest than the Exchequer was with him, whereby his Gains are clear without loss.  
Whither( these things being Considered) Sir Robert Vyner's Concerns, ought not to be Excepted out of the Bankrupts Bill, is humbly offered.
