[GOMELDON, Elizabeth]. [Drop-head title:] The case of Elizabeth Gomeldon, Widow.

[London]. [s.n.], [1720].
Folio. 2pp. Docket title to verso. Stab-stitch holes to gutter margin, lightly toned.
A rare survival of an early example of parliamentary lobbying literature relating the petition of Elizabeth Gomeldon (with reference to the bill to enable her to enter her claim before the Commissioners and trustees for forfeited estates) to regain control of property that were felt to have been unduly bequeathed to Thomas Stanley (1684-1749), a distant relative of William Stanley (d.1495), an ally of pretender Perkin Warbeck, and thus attainted by High Treason.
