A Narrative directed To all true Lovers of Justice , and Maintainers OF Legall Right and Proprietie .

ON the 7 . th of November , 1650. One William Bullock of New England Gent : exhibited his Petition unto the late Parliament of England : suggesting therein , that one Thomas Bullock his Uncle had Morgaged ( not Sold outright ) to one Edmond Standen Esquire , certain Mannors and Lands in the County of Berks ; with full Power of Redemption , and that by undue Practices the Lord Keeper Edgerton had Ratified the said Morgage .

The Case is Reported by Sir Edward Cooke in his 3. Booke , in Twines case-Standen and Bullock . By meanes of some Complices then Members of Parliament ( whose names for their Credits J forbeare to instance ) Bullock obtained an Order to the then Committee for Indemnity to heare , Examine , and Report the true state of the Case unto the Parliament : which Committee upon hearing of the Case on the 20 . th of March following , Voted that there was no Morgage , nor corrupt Decree ( as complained of ) being fully satisfied therein by Deeds and Records produced by one William Standen Esquire the then Defendant , viz. By Deed of Bargaine and Sale Inrolled , dated , June 4 . th ELIZ . 31. ( Anno Dom . 1589. ) by Release of Interest with warranty Inrolled , dated August 5th ELIZ . 31. by Fines , and Recoveries exemplified under the Great Seale , November 5 . th ELIZ . 36. by Bill and Answer exemplified under the Great Seale , Febr . 15. ELIZ . 36. by the Decree of Chancary complained of , and Exemplified under the Great Seale , June 5 . th ELIZ . 39 and by other Deeds and Records : Whereas Bullock the Petitioner could produce nothing but Heare-sayes ( taken a little before in the Country ) of a Morgage , and values of the Lands , Woods , and Timber ; As if the wisdome of a Parliament ( whose intrusted Power is to provide for Generall safety , Regular Government , and Publick Profit ) would any time Ballance Heare-sayes with Records ; or after 60. Yeares and upwards Question the values of Estates contrary to all Law , Usage , and Equity . However that Parliament did not farther meddle with the Business .

But the Committee for Indemnity sitting at Haberdashers-hall , by the meanes chiefly of one Winslow ( a New England Gentleman , J pray take notice ) tooke upon themselves to Report in the Business what they thought fit , to the Parliament sitting in October , 1653 but that Parliament would not meddle therewith .

Nevertheless Bullock aforesaid persisting in his Barretting kind of way , by meanes of some Complices ( J will forbeare to say Champitors ) did in March last , ( 1655. ) exhibit his Petition to the Lord Protector touching the same ; As if his Highness ( Who is engaged , and obliged by vertue of his high Place ; or Office to Protect all mens Estates according to Law ) should , or would dispose any mans Estate contrary to Law .

But no marvell that Bullook aforesaid hath of late been vexatious in his Proceedings ; when heretofore his Father one William Bullock was Censured in the Starre-Chamber , and Imprisoned for forging , or feigning of a Leafe of 800. yeares of the Lands , by his Son Petitioned for ; and also for suborning Evidence , or Witnesses , as it hath been made appeare by a Decree of Star-Chamber , exemplified under the Great Seale , June 30 . th ELIZ . 39. And great pitty it is , that there is not now some Court , or Tribunall , to punish severely such like Forgers , and Suborners ; as also Clamorous Pretenders and Petitioners , that not any may by such Persons bee molested in their Legall Rights .

Septemb . 17 . th 1656. WILLIAM BALL .
