.
John
Borlase
Baronet
,
the
Equity
of
Redemption
of
his
said
Estate
,
and
directs
them
to
sell
and
pay
Mr.

,
and
afterwards
to
dispose
of
the
Surplus
arising
by
such
Sale
to
such
Uses
as
he
by
any
Deed
,
or
by
his
Will
should
direct
and
appoint
.
About
three
weeks
after
the
said
Robert
Knollys
had
executed
this
Deed
,
he
died
intestate
,
and
without
making
any
Disposition
by
Deed
,
Henry
Culpepper
died
before
Mr.
Knollys
,
and
John
Snell
survived
.
Katharine
Haldanby
,
youngest
Sister
of
Robert
Knollys
,
being
of
full
age
,
by
Deed
before
her
Marriage
confirms
the
Deed
made
by
her
Brother
to
Lord
Lovelace
and
Sir
John
Borlase
,
and
directs
them
to
sell
:
Lettice
by
Letter
being
then
at
a
remote
distance
does
the
like
;
And
so
neither
he
nor
Mrs.
Snell
can
joyn
in
any
Legal
Act
either
to
convey
or
joyn
in
the
Sale
of
the
Estate
for
payment
of
the
Debt
to
Mr.
Pleydall
,
and
other
Debts
of
Robert
Knollys
,
nor
can
he
or
Mrs.
Snell
joyn
in
any
Act
for
making
Leases
to
any
Tenents
;
and
if
the
Estate
cannot
speedily
be
sold
to
pay
off
the
Mortgage
before
Mr.
Kennedy
and
Mrs.
Snell
are
of
age
,
it
will
be
in
a
great
measure
wasted
and
eaten
up
with
Interest
,
and
Mrs.
Kennedy
and
Mrs.
Haldanby
be
very
much
injured
;
which
if
sold
now
,
would
be
very
considerably
advantagious
unto
them
,
and
their
Fortunes
very
considerable
after
all
their
Brothers
Debts
paid
.
John
Snell
died
,
Dorothy
Snell
his
sole
Daughter
and
Heir
a
Minor
of
about
the
age
of
17
years
;
so
she
cannot
reconvey
until
of
age
,
upon
payment
of
the
Mortgage
money
.
It
is
therefore
prayed
that
the
Inheritance
of
the
said
Estate
may
be
Vested
in
the
Lord
Lovelace
and
Sir
John
Borlace
,
that
they
may
be
enabled
to
make
Sale
of
the
Estate
to
pay
the
Mortgage
,
and
other
Debts
of
the
said
Robert
Knollys
,
by
Act
of
Parliament
;
and
the
rather
,
for
that
the
Heir
of
Mrs.
Snell
(
if
she
dies
under
age
)
lives
in
Scotland
,
and
cannot
be
bound
by
any
Decree
here
in
Chancery
,
or
other
Act.
And
it
is
also
prayed
that
it
may
be
Enacted
,
That
the
Moiety
of
the
Surplus
of
the
Money
arising
and
belonging
to
Mrs.
Kennedy
may
by
such
Sale
remain
in
the
Hands
of
the
Lord
Lovelace
and
Sir
John
Borlase
,
in
Trust
for
Mrs.
Kennedy
and
her
Heirs
,
she
having
a
Child
already
born
,
and
to
be
disposed
of
from
time
to
time
by
her
sole
and
apart
from
her
Husband
,
until
some
Settlement
made
by
him
upon
her
and
her
Issue
by
her
said
Husband
,
save
only
700
l.
for
the
Husband
for
payment
of
his
Debts
.
