T. of c. in the saiâ— Countie of L. pretending to haue a lease for diuers yeres yet to come of some part of the said lands called c. made vnto him by the aforesaid E. F. long time before any assignements aforesaid hath and yet doth keepe your said Orator from the possession of the said lands vpon which lease or demise a certaine yerely rent is as he saith reserued to the said E.

T. shall hold and occupie the land aforesaid by reason of the said lease which he so pretendeth to haue But because your Orator doth not certainely knowe whether the said R. T. haue any such lease neither if he haue what date it beareth what terme the said R. hath therein vnexpired what rent thereby is reserued nor what couenants are therein conteined as also your Orator can not nor knoweth not how in due forme of law to enter or commence any action against the said R. T. either for the recouerie of the said land or rent aforesaid which the said R. T. right wâ—ll knowing being a man of little or no conscience but destitute of the feare of God thinking all things well-gotten which he may get and hould without the punishment of the law doth not onely vse the said land to his great profit and commoditie without yelding or paying therefore any rent ot your Orator or any other person lawfully clayming the same but also doth vtterly refuse to shewe his said Lease whereby he claymeth to hold the lands aforesaid vnto your said Orator to the great losse and hinderance of your Lordships said Orator In tender consideration whereof and for asmuch as your Orator hath no ordinarie way by the course of the common Lawes of this Realme to enforce the said R. T. to shew forth such writings as he hath for the holding and inioying of the lands aforesaid but is and shall be vtterly destitute of all maner of helpe or meanes to obtaine the same to his great hinderance and impouerishment except your honorable Lordship of your accustomed clemencie towards all such as are oppressed do extend your fauour in yâ— behalfe so that by the order of this honorable Court the said R.

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
occupieth by the lease for yeres yet continuing of the said defendant And the said defendant also saieth that he is sued for the rent reserued vpon his lease by the said G. H. named in the said bill of coÌ„plaint in the kings Bench in an action of debt brought by him against the saide defendant And therefore the said defendant much marueileth of this suit of the saide complaynant brought in this honorable court against the said defendant touching the said premisses By which suit of the said complaynant the said defendant is wrongfully sued and vexed without any iust cause of suit without that that there is any such extent made of the said three parcels of land called c. or that after the same extent there was any such bargaine sale made by the said Shirife named in yâ— said bill of complaint of the said terme lease of yeres of the said premisses vnto the said G. H. Or that the said G. H. bargained or sold the said premisses vnto the said complaynant or that the said complaynant ought to haue and inioy the said premisses to the knowledge of this defendant And without that there is any other matter or thing c.

CC. acres of land meadow wood and pasture with their appurtenances in S. aforesaid And the said W. R. so being of the premisses seised about ten yeres now past It was condiscended granted agreed betweene the said W. R. and one I. E. late of H. in the said countie deceased that A. B. then sonne and heire apparant of the said W. R. before a certaine day should marry and take to his wife one A. E. daughter of the said I. E. and that the said W. R. in consideration thereof and for that the said A. should be greatly aduanced and preferred in goods and substance by the mariage of the said A. would immediatly after the said mariage had and solemnized conuey and make vnto the said A. and A. a good sufficient and lawfull estate in the Law of and in the said mesuage lands tenements and other the premisses To haue and to hold vnto the said A. and A. and to their heires males of their bodies lawfully begotten And afterward the said A. according to the said agreement did marrie and take to his wife the said A. E. immediatly after which mariage had and solempnized the said W. K. according to his said promise and agreement did lawfully enfeoffe of and in the said mesuage lands tenements and other the premisses the said A. R. and A. then his wife To haue and to hold vnto the same A. and A. and to their heires males of their bodies lawfully begotten by force whereof the said A. and A. were seised of and in the premisses in their demeanes as of fee taile speciall and they so being thereof seised the said A. and A. had issue male betweene them lawfully begotten one I. R. and your said Orator and one W. R. and the said W. R. the elder died by and after whose death the reuersion in fee simple of the premisses discended vnto the said A. as sonne and heire vnto him And afterward the said A. and Agnes dyed after whose death the said messuage lands tenements and other the premisses discended and came and of right ought to discend and come vnto the said I. R. as sonne and heire male of the bodie of the said A. and A. lawfully begotten by force whereof the said I. R. entred into the said messuage lands tenements and other the premisses and was thereof seised in his demesne as of fee taile And he so being thereof seised the said I. R. about foure yeres now past of the said messuage and other the premisses dyed seised without issue male of his bodie lawfully begotten by force whereof the said messuage and other the premisses discended and came and of right ought to discend and come vnto your said poore Orator as brother and heire male to the said I.

W. and E. G. W. and T. S. aswell to deliuer vnto your said Orator the said euidences deedes writings and muniments concerning the premisses as also to auoid the possession of the premisses and peaceably and quietly to permit and suffer your said Orator and his assignes to haue and inioy the same and to receiue and take the rents and profits thereof to his owne vse according to his said interest and title therein which to do they at all times haue refused and denied and yet do contrarie to all right and good conscience And for asmuch as your said Orator knoweth not the certaine number contents ne other certainties of the said euidences deedes writings and muniments nor wherein they be conteined And also for that the said I. W. E. G. W. and T. S. be of so great substance riches and also greatly frinded and borne in the said Countie of W. And your said Orator being but a poore man and hauing but few friends in the said Countie the same your said Orator is and shall be therefore without remedy concerning the premisses by due course and order of the common Law and otherwise vnlesse your good Lordships ayde and fauour be vnto him shewed in this behalfe In consideration whereof
humble wise complayning sheweth c. That whereas vpon Sect. 137. the imagination of honesty and good opinion that R. C. father vnto your saide Orator deceased had in one T.

T. payable at the feast of c. then next c. which was in the yere of our soueraigne c. And to the intent that the same R. being a man of such honestie and simplicitie as did neither suspect nor yet doubt the good conscience of the said T. who alwaies toward him had counterfaited such puritie of conscience and so honest behauior might the better by the help of the same T. come by his debt at the time to be due if he so long liued or els if he died that the said T. might be as a stay and sure meanes to his executors for the getting in of the same he the same R. trusted the said T. with the custodie of the said Statute Soone after the making of the which bargaine and somewhat before the said feast of c. the said R. deceased and made your Orator his executor thereby charging him aswell with the gathering in of all such summes of money as were due to the said Testator as also with the payment of all such debts as the said R. did owe. And so it is most gratious Lord that although your said Orator hath diuers and sundrie times since the decease of his said father required the said T. to haue the moitie of the said c. due to him by equitie and good conscience as executor vnto his said testator c. The said T. now declaring himselfe what he is hauing regard neither to conscience common honestie nor yet to the trust he was put in minding if he can with what iniurie he careth not vtterly to barre your said Orator from the hauing thereof and he himselfe against all reason and conscience to haue the said c. for nothing hath not onely with many sleight and subtill delayes lingred and delaied your sai◠Orator long time from hauing the same but also now lately hath plainly answered and affirmed that your saide Orator shall haue no part nor penie thereof which if it should thus passe should be both great incouraging to such corrupt conscioned persons still to perseuer in such their lewd demeanour and in the meane time turne to the great impouerishing of your saide poore Orator Wherefore may it please your ho. Lordship of your accustomed equitie to inioyne the said T. that he repay vnto your said Orator the said c. moitie of the said c. if he haue receiued it of the said S. or if he haue not that he be nolet to your said Orator to do therein what he can for the obteyning and getting in the same And thus shall your said Orator haue cause continually to pray for the prosperous estate of your good Lordship long to indure A bill of Complaint for recouering of Euidences made by compulsion by a man in prison without consideration IN most humble wise complayning sheweth vnto your good Lordship Sect. 138. your daily Oratrix I.
