The Answere THe said defendant not knowledging or confessing the matters Sect. 134. suggested in the said bill of complaint to be true for his answere touching the same saith That the said E. F. named in the said bill of complaint was possessed for diuers yeares yet to come and induring of the said three parcels of land called or knowen by the name of c. mencioned in the saide bill of complaint by vertue of a lease thereof made by the said T. S. also named in the said bill of complaint vnto the said E. F. long before the supposed extent specified in the said bill of complaint And the said E. F. so being thereof possessed long before the said supposed extent if any such were had in such manner as in the said bill of complaynt is supposed made a lawfull demise and lease of part of the said three parcels of land conteyning fowerteene acres or thereabouts vnto the said defendant for diuers yeares yet to come and remayning vnexpired vpon which lease the said E. F. reserued a yerely rent to be paied during the continuance of the said lease By force of which lease the said defendant entered into the said fowerteene acres of land part of the said three parcels called c. and was and yet is lawfully possessed accordingly And euer since and yet doth inioy the said fowerteene acres by vertue of the said d◠〈◊〉 and lease made by the said E. F. to the said defendant and is to haue and inioy the same during the continuance of the yeares of which there are diuers yeares yet to come and remayning vnexpired And the said defendant sayeth that yâ— said complaynant is a man to this defendant vtterly vnknowen And therefore the said defendant marueyleth much of the said suit exhibited by the said complaynant into this honorable court against the said defendant touching the said premisses And further saieth that the said E. F. after the said demise and lease by him made vnto the said defendant of the said fowerteene acres of land and before the said supposed extent if any such be made a graunt and assignement of the interest and terme of the said E. F. aswell of the said fowerteene acres which the said defendant hath and occupieth by vertue of his said lease for diuers yeares yet thereof to come and coutinuing vndetermined as also of the residue of the said three parcels of land mencioned in the said bill of complaint vnto R. F. the sonne of the said E. F. vnto which graunt and assignement the said defendant was priuy And therefore the saide defendant thinketh that he is for the payment of his rent chargeable and ought by the Law to pay the same rent reserued vnto the saide R. F. and not to the saide complaynant which saide R. doth verily thinke that he is lawfull Landlord during the continuance of his yeres yet to come and induring and not the said complaynant who is altogether a meere stranger vnto this defendant And which complaynant neuer at any time heretofore demaunded any rent for the said part of the lands that this defendant hath and
plaint if went about to take the benefit of his extent to keepe Courts and vnderstand what lands and how the tenants held and what rents seruices they paid for the same but could not performe his purpose therein for the tenants the noble man had the Courtrowles in their keeping and the leasses rentals c. and would not let him see the same and that the noble man refused to suffer the plaintife to enter into the manors lands extended or to keepe any Courts and would not suffer the tenaÌ„ts to pay the plaintife any of the rents or seruices due for the same manors or to declare vnto him what the same rents and seruices were And then the plaintife prayeth that the tenants occupiers and farmors of the said manors may vpon their oathes bring forth their leasses declare what lands they hold and what rents seruices euery of them pay And that all the defendants may shewe to the plaintife the Courtroâ—les rentals books oâ— suruay field books terrars in their custodie and so prayeth proces against all the defendants To the Right Honorable Sir Christopher Hatton of the most noble order of the Garter Knight Lord Chancellor of England IN most humble wise complayning sheweth to your good Lordship Sect. 149. your dayly Orator I.
