THE CASE Of the LADY WANDESFORD .

THat King Charles the first by his Letters Pattents 4. Car. I. did for a great and valuable consideration grant unto Dame Mary VVandesford , and VVilliam VVandesford , and their Heirs , all the Land in Hampshire between High and Low-water-marke , reserving 4.d . per Acre Fee Farme Rent .

That the Inning of the said Lands , and securing them from the Sea , will be a very great and chargeable undertaking , but being imbanked from the Sea , will be of great profit and advantage to the Kingdome , whereas now they yield no benefit to any ; not one Blade of Grass growing upon them .

That for the encouragement of those who are to adventure their Money upon so hazardous a work ; the Lady VVandesford hath been advised to present a Bill to this Honourable House , which hath been read and committed .

That at the reading of it many clauses in it did appear to be unreasonable , all which the Committee have expunged .

That there is a Proviso for the saving all Rights , so that nothing is passed to the Lady VVandesford by this intended Act , if it was not legally granted by the said Pattent .

And she doth humbly pray , that in regard this Bill , if it be passed , cannot be a prejudice to any person ; and if it doth not passe , will be her utter undoing , ( having spent her whole Estate upon it ) That by the justice of this Honourable House it may passe .
