Doors and Windows after the modern mode putting up larger and higher new Doors with a large oval window below laid the Hearths above stairs with marble putting up stately Chimney pieces and in all things made it fit for the entertainment of any person of quality but the poor Workmen who thought him by his garb to be some great person when indeed a Prisoner in the Kings Bench at Chambers Sute were never paid one penny for either labour or stuff When the House was fitted he was upon some old account put in the Fleet but removed himself again to the Kings Bench But he quickly had a Customer for his House and let it to a very honest man for a good fine and convenient rent pretending a Leafe Parol from the head Landlady and doubtless he had those would have prov'd it or ruin'd her if he had been at liberty But now being dead I think she is well clear'd of a quarelsome Customer Now getting again his liberty he grew so confident that whereas his former attempts were most of them upon such from whose weakness or obnoxiousness he might hope for success but now he slies high and sets upon one where he was sure not to meet with any such advantage I mean Mr. Johnson an Attorney of Cliffords-Inn to whom he brought a Bond of 200 l. for payment of 100 l. to be put in Sute and as they say 't is usually done by wary men desired his note of the recept of it So when Mr. Johnson was intent upon his business and looking over his Papers Farr pilfer'd away the Bond and in order to his father design Mrs. Chadwick and another make affidavit that Mr. Johnson had falsely and treacherously sold the said Bond to the Defendant the person therein concerned and so commenced his sute against him and had he lived this Term it had come to Tryal When Farr was Convicted and his papers look'd over this very Bond and the foresaid affidavit about it were found wrapt up together There was also found near 40 Warrants for Judgements against several men amongst the rest two were there in pickle against his old friend Chambers but they were by special order of the Lord Ch. Justice all secured And now I come to the business of Madam Stanier the last and indeed deepest and most presumptuous undertaking of his life and such an one as I think was scarce ever acted under colour of Law wherein if desiring to be particular I be also large I hope for the matter sake I shall not seem tedious He had without doubt long designed an attempt upon her but set it not on foot till August 1664. And then he caused his Mother Eliz. Farr to seal a Lease to him of the house wherein Mr. Stanier lived in St. Martins-lane in the Fields to which house the said Eliz. Farr had not the least title or any colour thereof In Michaelmas Term following Mrs. Chadwick got S. S. Clerk to Mr. Jobson Attorney in the Common-Pleas to draw a Declaration against one Richard Pelar as a casual Ejector pretending it was only to eject an ill Tenant that Mr. Farr had in a small Tenement of his in St. Martins-lane of about 4 l. per. an for non-payment of Rent A true Copy of which Declaration ought to have been left with Mrs. Stanier but that would have spoyled the plot Therefore Mrs. Chadwick by Farrs direction falsely made affidavit before Judge Tirrel that she had left a true Copy of the said Declaration at the said House and that on the 11 th of February she went to the said Robert Stanier to know if he would defend the title of the said House and that he answer'd he had notice of the said Declaration but would not make any defence thereto Upon this Farr by a Motion in the Court of Common Pleas obtain'd a Rule That unless Mr. Stanier the present Possessor of the said House or some other did shew cause within 14 days why Judgement should not pass it should be entered Mr. Stanier having no knowledge nor notice hereof made no defence and so Judgement was obtained by default and thereupon a Writ of Possession made by the said S. S. directed to the Sheriff of Midd dated Feb. 13.1664 On the 6th of March following Farr with one Auson a Bayliff and 3 or 4 of his followers did by vertue of this Writ break open and forcibly enter'd the said House and the better to accomplish his intended Villany arrested Mrs. Stanier by Bill of Midd. in an action of 100 l. debt whereas she owed him not a farthing and violently forced her out of her House into a Coach and so-carried her away to Newgate They also turned out of the House one Mrs. Plummer who lodged there At night Farr fell to his work sending away all the Money Jewels Plate Rings and other things of value and small bulk by Mrs. Chadwick the Beds Hangings Pewter and other more bulky goods by a Porter whom afterwards they accidentally met withall and he was an usefull witness in the case to the value of I 100 l. and and in Bonds Bills and other writings to the value of 2000 l. Mrs. Stanier was deteined in prison all night but in the morning came to her one Mr. Messarvy her Kinsman with a friend or two more and bailed her out And then as it was but high time went about securing the goods that were in the House out of Farrs hands And by Petition to the Lord Chief Justice Hide setting out the whole matter of fact obtained from his Lordship on the 8th of March to send Mr. Cheiny one of his Tipstaffs for Farr who still continued in the House to come before him Farr would not open the Door nor be perswaded to come to the Tipstaff upon pretence that 't was but a Trick to get him out of Possession Whereupon Mr. Cheiny went and fetch'd my Lords Warrant and a Constable to execute it Upon sight whereof Farr came down and opened the Doors but would not let any one goe into the House for fear as he pretended they should re-enter and keep Possession but indeed his fear was lest it should be discovered how he had robb'd the House Coming before my Lord Chief Justice he told his Lordship That he had a good Title to the Hotse and had by Law obtained Possession My Lord told him He would not dispute that then but he was sure he had no colour of right by Law to the Goods and therefore he would not trust them in his hands VVhereupon Farr told his Lordship That there was not a farthing worth of the Good touch'd His Lordship then made him this Proposition viz. That he should let Mrs. Stanier goe again into the House and have all her Goods and he should have security that Possession of the House should be re-delivered to him at the end of one VVeek after the beginning of Easter Term next in case the Judgement obtained by default should be by
