James which we have before affirmed in our Opinions was not any forfeited Estate within the meaning of the said Act and the said Paragraph was much altered from what it was on the 24th day of October last or at any time after till the 23d day of this instant November at which time it appear'd that mention is therein made of forfeited Leases which are Granted together with the said Estate tho neither the continuances of such Leases nor the value of them above the reserved Rent nor other certainty of the said Leases does appear to us We have declared and do declare that whenever the aforesaid Matters shall appear we will join in the Reporting of whatever is a Forfeiture within the meaning of the said Act Whereupon you were told by Henry Earl of Dr-gh-da that we could not give an Account to the last Paragraph containing the said private Estate nor to Paragraphs 8 10 25 32 66 78 79.
