A manuscript copy, [1610x1650], of a petition by the counties of Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Shropshire seeking to be removed from the jurisdiction of the Council of Wales and the Marches; it formed part of a petition of grievances presented by a deputation of Members of Parliament to King James I at Whitehall on 7 July 1610, during negotiations concerning the Great Contract (f. 17 recto-verso).
It is probable that the original petition is now in Kew, The National Archives SP 14/56/part 2; a number of other manuscript copies are also known (see Proceedings in Parliament 1610, ed. by Elizabeth Read Foster, 2 vols (New Haven and London, 1966), II: The House of Commons, pp. 253-254). The text of the petition is printed in William Petyt, Jus Parliamentarium (London, 1739), pp. 330-331, and Foster, pp. 261-263. In the different sources the number of MPs attending the audience is variously given as twenty, seventeen and twelve (see Foster, p. 254); the preamble to the present manuscript states that the grievances were presented 'by Sir Francis Bacon and Twelve more of the lower house of Parliament' (f. 17).

A painted panel, dated 1650, depicting the achievement of arms of Charles Lloyd (1613-1657) of Dolobran impaling that of his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Stanley of Knockin, Shropshire, with numerous quarterings, surmounted by two helms and crests and set within a canopy with gold tassels.
The painting is possibly by Charles Lloyd himself, a noted genealogist, and would appear to be the prototype for the oak panel, known as the Dolobran Panel, which was at that time hung over the fireplace at Dolobran Hall, and to which it bears a close resemblance. The achievement is notable for reflecting contrasting Welsh and English attitudes to heraldry: the six (possibly seven) quarterings of the Stanley arms strictly reflect the English practice of only marshalling the arms of families from which there was a descent through heiresses, while the fifteen Lloyd quarterings merely depict the arms of the most distinguished ancestors. The painting was later laid onto a board containing, on the verso, part of an Anti-Slavery Associat[ion] document, [?early 19 cent.]. For a description of the Dolobran Panel, including a full blazon, see M. P. Siddons, 'The Dolobran Panel', in Montgomeryshire Collections, 70 (1982), 65-70.
