Mr. Duckets CASE . Wherein he humbly , by Petition , Appeals to the Right Honourable , the Lords Spiritual and Temporal , in the High Court of Parliament Assembled ; For Relief against a Decree pronounced against him by this present Lord Chancellor .

WIlliam Mildmay , Esq having Right to , but out of possession , of an Estate Real and Personal , viz. to part in Fee Simple , and to the rest for Life , Remainder to the Issue of his Body with Remainders over , and his Brother and other Friends having forsaken him in the last Great Plague , and not having Money to subsist , he resorts to the Petitioner , who was his full Couzen Germain , who very kindly entertained him and his Servants at the Petitioners house in Cambridgeshire .

That the Petitioner , at the earnest sollicitation of Mr. Mildmay , undertakes a Suit in his name against one Clutterbuck and others , for recovering the said Estate , and laid out therein above 1000 l. and in 1669 obtained a Decree for the same .

That Mr. Mildmay being sensible of the Petitioners kindness , and of the unkindness of his other Relations , and having had a Wife , but never any Child , and being then a Widdower and ( as himself expressed ) uncapable of ever having a Child , and having often declared he would settle his Estate upon the Petitioner and his Children , did , about the year 1670 , and since , by several Deeds settle his Estate accordingly , reserving to himself , for his Life a Maintenance of 200 l. per Annum and upwards .

That after the said Settlement Mr. Mildmay declared to several persons he had setled his Estate on the Petitioner his Kinsman and best Friend , and the Tenants had notice thereof , and Attorned and paid their Rents to the Petitioner , and called and owned him Landlord unto the year 1676.

That Mr. Mildmay in July 1676. coming up to London on some business , was drawn into Company , who betrayed him into a Marriage which was one Day proposed , and the next Day had , with one Mrs. Brewster ; but so soon as he was Married and came to consider what he had done , he went away and left his Wife without Bedding her .

That since this Marriage , viz. in October 1676. Mr. Mildmay is prevailed on to settle the Estate ( formerly setled on the Petitioner without any Trust or Power of Revocation ) upon his said Wife , or on Friends in Trust for her and Mr. Mildmay ; and Mr. Mildmay and his Wife and Wives Trustees in November 1676 exhibit a Bill in Chancery to overthrow the Settlements made on the Petitioner , and for Equity alledge the same were obtained by Fraud , or were only in Trust for Mr. Mildmay ; and tho the Petitioner hath by his Answers fully denied both a Fraud and Trust , and proved the Deeds to be absolute , and to be read to and understood by Mr. Mildmay before he executed them , yet the Court of Chancery has declared the Settlements on the Petitioner to be a Trust , and Decreed the same to be set aside .

Therefore Prayes the said Decree may be reversed .
