That in courfe of time one undivided fourth part of the laid Manor and Lands became vefted in the late Cornelius Grogan, Efq. one of the perfons named in the Bill of Attainder now depending before " the Houfe, and was in his pofleffion or feifm at the time of his death. That the re- maining three undivided fourth parts of the faid Manor and Lands became and are legally vefted in the Petitioner, who is now and was at the time of the execution of the faid Cornelius Grcgan, feifed in fee fimple of the faid three undivided fourth parts. That the faid Cornelius Grogan and the Petitioner held the faid Lands and Manor according to their aforefaid refpedive- undivided proportions as tenants in common, and that no divifion or partition of the faid Manor and Lands ever took place by deed or other wife; and that in letting of the faid Manor and Lands to the tenants thereof, the faid Cornelius and the Petitioner d) id each demife their refpedive portions as undivided and not as feparated by meers and bounds.
