LORD BYIZON's EJECTMENTS.

.
AN anonymous Communication having been made
to the Public, through the medium of the Paper;
called the. Traveller, the London Packet, the Leeds
Intelligencer, the 'l34th Chronicle, and several Others,
respe6ting the Trial of
.certain Actions of Ejeatpent
at the last Lancaster ASsizeS, purporting to .be
brought by Lord BYRON and others; I amdirefted
by the Defendants to thOse Anions to request yoit
will insert the following Fads relative to flip subjea
in your Paper, froM which not only the accuracy;
but the design, of the aforeklid Comiminicatiou will
berobvious.

. In September 179.5 the late Lord BYEONT (great
uncle to the present Lord) • sold two small Farms,.
and certain Mines of Coal lying, under the Corn-
, 'mons and Copyhold Lands, in the Parish of Roch-
dale, in five different lots, each) :to , different pur-
chasers. The Property was advertised, previous- to
the sale seven weeks, in the Leeds Intelligencer,
...and Wheeler's Manchester Mercury, and ten times
in THE SLIN London Paper ; and hand; bills of the
-same were circulated in the Parish of 'Rochdale. The
Sales , were by. Public Au Lion, at the Roebuck, In
tochdale, betbre a very. numerous Company. The
Property had, by the dire&ion of Lord B Y EON, brieli
Surveyed and valued before
,the Sale ; and a person
wa,s,also secretly put in.as a Sweetener, or Puffer,
On the part of his Lordship, to raise the Property to
its value. - The Premises ()anal Farm's and Mines)
were all in Lease, gradted.,by
.his Lordship to va-
l.-inns ,Tenants .the yetar preceding. the Sale, for
a.. terra- of 21: years., :The Mines only average in
thickness. 22 inches, were to drain, and privileges
for., that" purpose to be obtained, chiefly through the
Estates of other. People;- and; in addition to this
Estimate, the whole of the late Lord MRON'S Pro.
perty in Lancaster is, by.a certain Deed made be-
twixt his. Lordship. and others. in November 1773,
recognized. by them to be only of the value of 1..391.
or thereabOuts„ and the Mines ,Were then at work,
and have been . constantly since,; and there is Pro-
perty yet unsold there of 'the yearly income of 501;
aiidLupwards.

Ou'account of the want of certain faCtS and in-
formation manifest on the faCe of the Abstra& fur-
nished by his Lordship to the Purchasers, the Pur-
chases were not completed till Sept. 1796, when
the Purchase-money was paid, and proper. Deeds for.
conveying the Premises in fee-simple were executed
by his. Lordship. And in Feb. 1797, but not be-
fore, it came to, the knowledge.'of, the Purchasers
that certain Deeds had been, ftoin 'some motive or
other, suppressed and
.kept back out of the Ab.:
straa.ibiAnd by means of these Deeds alone;. the
Agieng Lord-ByltoN is. now founding his ClaiM, and
attempting by these ACtions (eve in number) to
eVi6i the Purchasers out ,of the Property they bought
4tbd paid for in manner aforesaid ; and'in which he
lnAh obtained Verdicts, . subje& to be, set aside oh
points reserved.--I am, Sir;
Your obedient Servant;
THO. FERRAND.
