gentleman with his wife and daughter come to dine with he that after dinner  mrs Chremer complain of night come on mrs freeman offer they a lodging which  they accept and the daughter lie with miss long that about a fortnight after  miss Chremer come to dinner and there be a great deal of company miss long and  she after dinner slip into the garden and be miss upon enquiry they find they  have go out of the back door of the garden to the end of a narrow lane where a  coach and six wait they and carry they to a little alehouse at about two mile  distance where miss long be marry to Mr Caesar and the messenger who be send  after they find Mr Caesar and the lady Mr Chremer his wife and daughter in Mr  Chremers house and Mr Caesar tell he he be marry to the lady and Mr freeman  swear that he be no way privy or consent to the match but a utter stranger to  it and his counsel insist that the same order they pray for be make in the  case of Mr Phipps and lady Catherine annesly and that the court grant a  sequestration in the case of lady Shaftsbury and lady Gainsborough that Mr  freeman think it his duty to make this application to the court to clear  himself and to have proper care take of the lady portion the counsel of the  other side argue that this court will punish the person concern in the  marriage only as they be guilty of a contempt of the court and mosely report  er p that in this case no body but Mr freeman and the lady know of the order  of guardianship and that this be the reason why a sequestration be grant  against lady Shaftsbury because she be guardian to the young Lord Shaftsbury  who be marry and that when her counsel come to show cause why a sequestration  shall not issue against the countess of Gainsborough the order for a  sequestration be discharge because though she be present at the marriage she  be not privy to the order of the court that here the party be not prove to be  in contempt for it be not swear that they be privy or assist to the wedding  and that this court never suffer person to be examine on interrogatory to  bring themselves into a contempt but where a contempt be express swear against  they give they leave to be examine on personal interrogatory by way of  purgation in order to clear themselves and that this be the case of Phipps and  lady Catherine annesly for there it be express swear that sir Constantine and  lady Phipps manage and bring about the marriage that mosely report in this  case the ware be not disparage Mr freeman have discharge himself and her  portion be secure her personal estate in the hand of trustee and her real  estate in a receiver Lord chancellor it be proper for Mr freeman to apply to  the court to show he be not privy to the match all who be party and privy to  this wedding be guilty of a contempt of this court though they be stranger to  the decretal order but I shall not set up a general inquisition to find out  who they be but some be probable affect by the affidavit as Mr Chremer his  wife and daughter for when they dine with Mr freeman a fortnight before the  marriage miss Chremer and miss long lie together the day they be marry they go  into the garden together and be see go out of the back door and the servant  who pursue they find they altogether at Mr Chremers house after the wedding be  it order therefore that it be refer to a master to see what settlement Mr  Caesar can make and at the same time when the master make his report let Mr  Chremer his wife and daughter show cause why they shall not be commit but I  shall make no order for the commitment of Mr Caesar since his uncle Mr freeman  be Willing to discharge his person nor I shall not examine the person who be  the minister that perform the ceremony and as no objection have be make to the  circumstance of Mr Caesar but the lady have provide for herself as well as her  guardian can the court will consider that in the punishment of Mr Chremer and  the other Friday January the that exception TO the master report
