An ANSWER To Mr. Lenthall's Pretended CASE .

I. THAT instead of 12000 l. due from Mr. Lenthall at Sir John Cutler's Death , ( as the Case suggests ) there was above 14500 l. then due , as has since been own'd , under Mr. Lenthall's Hand and Seal .

II. That the Accompt stated in May 1697 , is the Third pass'd by Mr. Lenthall under Hand and Seal , since Sir John Cutler's Death ; and all of them were pass'd deliberately and fairly , as has appear'd by the Originals produc'd to the Committee , where the same ( with what is since incurred ) have been Examined in Mr. Lenthall's presence , and he could make no Objection , because of Vouchers to every Article that required them , and he could not pretend Surprize , as owning to have had Coppys of Accompts deliver'd to him .

III. That the Pretence about Mr. Boulter's making an Abatement , is altogether frivolous , many Persons can witness upon occasion : And as to Mr. Folkes's being to have 1000 l. on that account , 't is already disprov'd upon Oath .

IV. That the Deeds executed by Mr. Lenthall , about the Estate and Office , were done voluntarily and deliberately , has fully appear'd to a Committee of Parliament two years ago ; where the said Deeds ( with Mr. Card , and others concern'd therein ) were examin'd in Mr. Lenthall's presence , and he declar'd the Deeds to be with his Approbation , and that he directed them to be drawn .

V. That tho' Mr. Lenthall says he only knew since May last , that the Mortgages were Assign'd to the Earl of Radnor , yet there 's very ample Proof that he was acquainted with the Transferr as soon as 't was agreed upon , and he declar'd his Satisfaction with it : Besides , for two years last past , he has receiv'd , from time to time of the Earl of Radnor , several large Summs of Money , and under his Hand and Seal has charg'd and annex'd the same to the Securities so Assign'd as aforesaid ; for the proof whereof , and of this fair and regular passing the Accompts and Deeds , the Committees and the Journals are referr'd to .

That there was any certain Rent to be paid for the Marshal's Office , is deny'd , the present Marshal holding it on Tryal ; and by his Accompt it does appear , that nothing has been made on 't , nor indeed is like to be , while the Warden of the Fleet makes so bold with Acts of Parliament , and bids Defiance to the Laws .

As to Mr. Lenthall's value of the Oxfordshire Estate , and the Prison , 't is only answer'd , That the Earl of Radnor is willing that the same be Sold to the best advantage , for his Lordship desires but what is justly due to him , and he wishes the Estate and Prison would amount to it ; however it is hoped that Mr. Lenthall's trifling and false Suggestions will not prejudice or lessen his Lordships Right , nor hinder so great an Advantage to the Publick , as the Bill to pay the Incumbrance , and dissolve the Prison would effect .

To Mr. Lenthall's Case .
