Irian Major Cem•ral Sir John Douglas, on hclealf of himself mid
Charlotte Lady Douglas, wife; and it was signed by hoth-•a
eireit m-tance which he pointed oat to tne Gentleman that handed

fare: the Petitioners being at the same time fully confident of the
truth of the aforesaid depositions so made by them, and being
ready to re-swear all they had swore, humbly prayed. that the
Honourable the House Commons would adopt such proecedin,gS
as might enable the Petitioners to re-swear what they had already
