WHereas the Lady Wentworth gives out in Speeches and otherwise , that she is ready and willing to set aside her Priviledge , and go to a Tryal at Law with the Lady Poole her Sister , and the Countess of Newbrough , for and concerning a Debt of 6000 l. due and owing to them . But they are advised by Able Councel that they cannot safely proceed at Law : for if they should , they may be barred by Pleas of no Assets , or nothing by Dissent or Minority . And also the Earl of Cleaveland leaving no Personal Estate , and all his real Estate being vested in Trustees ; by those Acts they cannot be retained in any ordinary Course of Law or Equity ; nor can those seeming fair Offers aid them .

And in truth the Lady Wentworths Assurance to this Honourable House , are only Words ; for when the Lady Poole shall come to Law or Equity , neither of them can give away the Infants Estate during the Minority ; so that if she wave all she pretends to , yet it is not in the power of the Law to help the Creditors , at least during the Infants Minority . This is evident in the Case between Henry Lyde and Mr. Bernardiston of Bedford , in which , Lyde the Mortgagee hath been kept out by Minority of several successive Infants , near 40 years , and is to this day : Which Mortgagee if occasion shall require , will be produced ; so that in truth no Relief can be had but by Act of Parliament : And as it is alledged , that the Lord of Cleaveland spent great part of his Estate by the Wars , it will be proved upon Oath that he was so much in Debt , that he was forced to fly into the Army for Shelter .
