s are saved, provided
(by section 12) their claims are made, as in case of remainder-men,
etc.

The 10th section makes void Lord Strafford's abominable "offices," or
confiscations of Connaught, Clare, Limerick, and Tipperary, and
confirms the titles of the right owners, as if these offices had not
been found.

The 13th section repeals a private act for conferring vast estates on
Lord Albemarle out of the forfeitures on the Restoration.

The remaining clauses, except the last, have nothing to do with the
Attainders. They are subsidiary to the Act repealing the Acts of
Settlement and Explanation. They reprize ancient proprietors, who had
bought or taken leases of their own estates from the owners under the
Settlement Acts.

The 17th section provides for the completion of the Down or Strafford
Survey, and for the reduction of excessive quit rents. In this section
the phrase occurs, "their Majesties," but this is probably a mistake in
printing, though a crotchety reasoner might find in it a doubt of the
authenticity of the Act.

The 21st and last section provides that any of the persons attainted
"who shall return to their duty and loyalty" may be pardoned by royal
warrant, provided that such pardon be issued "before the first day of
November next, otherwise the pardon to be of no effect."
