Catalogue description STATES GENERAL to LORD WILLOUGHBY.

--On complaint of the Lady Margaret, nee Countess of Cuelenburch and Pallant, Baroness de Merode Pieterfex, that Colonel Morgan did, at five o'clock of the evening on the eleventh of this month, draw away from her house at Dordrecht, and carry out of the town, the demoiselles Anna and Odilia de Merode, her daughters, whom he still keeps in his power, without the knowledge and against the will of the said lady their mother-a thing contrary to all the proclamations, laws and constitutions of the country of Holland-they have thought it requisite to send Dr. Arentsma, Counsellor of State, and Mr. Josse de Menin, Counsellor and Pensionary of Dordrecht, without delay to his Lordship, to inform him more particularly of the matter, praying him to give credence to them, and to send orders to Colonel Morgan to behave as a man of honour to the said daughters, and to restore them at once to their mother.
