detained and withheld from them by the Owners, Tenants and Occupiers
of the Manors, Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments, out
of which the said Fee-farm Rents, Rents reserved, and other Rents
are illuing, upon pretence that several of the Manors end Lands
late forfeited to the Commonwealth for Treason, out of which the

vested in them, but expect to hold the same totally discharged
from the said Rents, to the payment whereof the Estates forfeited
as aforesaid were lyable, whereby the Purchasers are greatly
damnisied, the security much impaired, and the Commonwealth
deprived of the benefit arising by sale of the said Fee-farm Rents,
