Abstract

'Your petitioner, lately coming to the chamber of one Mr FitzGarrett, an Irish gent, (in a friendlie sort) where he found three other persons with Mr FitzGarrett.

Now, forasmuch as your petitioner having a great charge of wife and children, and himself a maimed man, humblie beseecheth your lordship (for avoiding further trouble and danger which the petitioner hath found they have plotted against him) to send for FitzGarrett and to heare and examine the abuses, and thereupon to take such order as in your lordship's wisdom and judgement shalbe thought expedient. And your petitioner shall praie.'
