Secondly Sandford being thus turned out and the Earls Agents got in possession of the premisses Chambre was still detained a Prisoner and being scarce able to get Victuals for his necessity petitioned the Earl of Strafford that the 4000 l. Fine might be paid that he might be able to discharge all his Debts and that he might go out of Prison upon which the Earl to drive his design on further causes an Agent to tell him that the 4000 l. Fine would not pay his Debts and perswade him to sell the Reversion of the Estate and he should have 13200 l. for it That is to say 1200 l. in hand to help pay his Debts and with the other 12000 l. the Earl would purchase him a better Estate then this was But Chambre refusing to sell becaus e of the Lease of 200 years which he had right to as Executor of his Father was kept more straitly a Prisoner then before and reduced to great want yet often visited by several of the Earls Instruments and when they got him merry and at all inclinable to the Earls desires he was sometimes sent for to Dine with him at the Castle and sometimes let out of Prison and then one pretended Debt or other upon paper Petitions clapt him up again that being brought into such misery by continual vexations and cruel duress insomuch that he was willing to yield at last to the Earls proposal for the Reversion of the Estate but not the Lease if his Wife would consent To make her willing the Earl sends a messenger to her and upon refusal threatens her and causes her Husband to be kept so close a prisoner that neither she nor any of his Friends should come at him though she petitioned six times but to see him yet she could not be admitted till the falling often into Convulsion Fits the Keeper thinking he would dye went to the Earl of Strafford and told him that Mr. Chambre had a desire to see his Wife and if it were not speedily she would never see him alive upon which the Earl sent his Gentleman to go along with her who found him lying upon the Table on his Belly very near death but raising him with some Spirits and other help he began to look up and his Wife weeping said Husband how dost thou do Wife said he I am kept here for a Bargain Prithy Husband replyed she pardon me for it is my fault I would not consent to a Fine but I see they are resolved to have it and rather then I will be an Instrument of thy death I will agree to it all which discourse was proved by the Oaths of three persons then present Immediatly the Earls Gentleman hasted back to his Lord and told him he must strike whilst the Iron was hot for now she was willing So a Fine was clapt up upon those words and a Deed dated the 2d of November 1639. Sealed by Chambre for the Reversion only to Josiah Carpenter Henry Wentworth and others intended though not expressed to and for the use of the said Earl of Strafford and his Heirs for the sum of 13200 l. mentioned therein as the Consideration Whereas the Estate was then really worth above 120000 l. For the Lands would be worth within 4 or 5 years time when the Lease is expired between 5 and 6000 l. per Annum Besides Customes which were worth as much more and at that time the Woods were worth near a 100000 l. The Earl of Corke hearing proffered but a year before old Chambres death 60000 l. for the Timber Trees only upon this Estate But now by the practices aforesaid Wood and Land and all the Appurtenances are wrested from the said Chambre and his Wife for the bare mentioning of 13200 l. For even of that Money none was ever yet paid save only 500 l. said to be paid to one Chambre of Minmore for to relinquish all his pretensions to the Premisses so much being given him by Chambre the Father on that Condition This Deed and Fine being executed which were not only obtained by duress and without valuable consideration but also tending to the destruction of the Inheritance were directly contrary to the King and Councels order at Whitehall the 17th of January 1637 beforementioned thereupon the said Chambre was set at Liberty but coming into the Fresh Aire an a Full Dyet within a few days after viz. the latter end of November 1638. dyed leaving two Children a Son that dyed soon after him and a Daughter But before his death or making of the said Conveyance viz. the 17th of August 1638. the said Chambre made his last Will and Testament in Writing bequeathing all his Lands to Mary his Wife for 12 years for the remainder one Moity to her during Life the other to his Heires Male and for want of an Heir Male to his Uncle Chambre of Minmore and his Heires Male for ever and 2000. l. to his Daughter and made his said Wife sole Executrix and expresly gave her all his Goods and Chattels by which she became Intituled to the Lease of 200 years for the remainder thereof to come and also to the Inheritance notwithstanding the Conveyance aforesaid But whatever was given to Chambre of Minmore by Will or otherwise was Sold a year after Chambres death by Chambre of Minmore to the Deceased Chambres Wife so that the Family of Minmore have no pretence of any right to it as by Deed under his hand doth appear That Chambre thus dying without having Signed any Deed to lead the uses of the aforesaid Fine the Earls Agents apprehending they had not yet made the Estate secure set up by false Suggestions a Nuncupative Will supposed to be made by the said Chambre and made Mary his Relict prove the same And in pursuance of such pretended Will set up likewise a Lease and Release dated the 3d. of November 1638. Supposed to be made under the said Chambre of Minmores hand only of all the Premisses and Appurtenances absolutely and a Deed of uses or Covenants with the same Date Between the aforesaid Carpenter Wentworth and others the Earles Trustees of the one part and the said Chambre of Carnow Esq Lester his Father in Law Job Ward that Married Mary his Relict and his Uncle Chambre of Minmore pretended Trustees for the said Chambre of Carnow of the other part and it is apparent that all the Deeds to be Signed the 3d. of Novemb. were false and hatched after Chambres death and all suitable to the Nuncupative Will for Chambre perfected no Deed in his Life-time but that of the 2d of November by which he Sold the Reversion of his Estate for 13200 l. under his own hand only without Trustees therefore it is apparent all the other Deeds are false whereby the said Carpenter Wentworth c. Covenanted to lay out 12000 l. before the 1st of Nov. 1645. in Land to be conveyed to the said Lester Ward and Chambre of Minmore for several uses and
