                  ought to be deemed legall   adjudged deemed and taken for legall and

                         Authentick or not.

                Upon Motion     Mr Sollicitor Genll moves in behalf of his Maty

                of Mr Sollicitr

                Genii the that he has some Reasons to Offer, why the Writt

                Caseof Error and Supersedeas obtain'd by Wm Sharpe

                concerning                                d

                Mr Sharp's     upon the Judgmt afores given against him at the

                Order'd to be Argued     & void praying that he may have Some Small

                 Councill as a Ordered thereupon that the Lawyrs prepare them-

                 Court &ca selves against Night to attend his Exncy and

          

                 Councill who then Intend to Sit as a Court to hear all matters

                         To his Exncy the Govr & Councill &ca

                 Kings Lawyers Vpon Consideracon of this matter, and the

                  whole State of the Case I humbly Conceive that

          

                 Case,   if Mr Sharp had Petition'd yor EXnCY that he was

                 taken in Execution for a Judgmt obtain'd agt him upon which

                 he had Sued forth a Writt of Error and given Security

                 thereon, but before the Same could issue he was taken in

                 Execution and yet his security and Self lay Engaged and the

                 Writt of Error Sued forth therefore had humbly besought yor

                 Exncy Either to hear and Determine the matter of Error he

                 had to Assign immediately in favour of liberty or else to take

                 such further security of him to be Answerable to Justice in

                 Case the matter in Law should be adjudged against him

                 thereon, yor Exncy might with advice of the Councill have

                 granted Either Prayer but as to the Writt of Error I cannot

                 say it is legall though It may be legally Granted bccausc I

                 have seen it and Conceive it Imperfect in fform and therefore

                I take it to be abateable. I am    Yor Obedient Servant

                                          Wm Dent

          

                   The Writ of Error being defective in form no advantage

                can be taken therein.           George Plater.
