1651.] OF THE MARQUIS OF WORCESTER. 201 



CHAPTEE XIII. 



THE MARQUIS OF WORCESTER S SON, AND TWO 

 DAUGHTERS. 



WITH a view to giving completeness to the preceding 

 domestic narrative (affecting the Marchioness of Wor 

 cester, in respect to Worcester House), our remarks 

 have extended to the early part of the year 1659, thus 

 going some years beyond the time of the Marquis of 

 Worcester s flight to and residence in France. 



We come next, in the order of family claimants, to 

 consider the several petitions, first of his son, Henry 

 Lord Herbert ; and next of his daughters, Ladies Anne 

 and Elizabeth. 



On Wednesday, the 23rd of April, 1651, the humble 

 petition of Henry, Lord Herbert, was read in the House 

 of Commons, 57 when it was 



44 Ordered, That it be referred to a Committee, to 

 consider what interest the Petitioner hath in any of the 

 lands, late the Earl of Worcester s, settled by Act of 

 Parliament on the Lord General, and the value thereof, 

 and to report the whole state of the business to the 

 Parliament. And, in case they find the Petitioner hath 

 any good title to any of the said lands, that then they 

 bring in a proviso, for excepting out of sale, by this 

 Act, so much of the lands of the said Earl, now in the 

 power of the Parliament to dispose of, as may be of 



57 Jo. H. C. Vol. vi. p. 565.
