the Prince Elector of Treves, which were transported into the Dutchy of
Luxemburg, tho releas’d and abolish’d, yet at the instance of some has

Effects, with the sequestred Revenues, shall be releas’d and restor’d to
the Elector; and if by accident some things should be Imbezel’d, they shall
be fully restor’d to him; the Petitioners being refer’d, for the obtaining
a determination of their Rights, to the Judge of the Prince Elector, who
is competent in the Empire. ...
