Straffords Agents got possession of the Premises Yet still Chambre was deteyned a Prisoner though Sandford and others Released him but many came against him with Paper Petitions to the Earle of Strafford insomuch Mr. Chambre could scarce get Victuals and often Petitioned to the Earle of Strafford that the 4000 ll Fine might be paid that he might be able to pay his Debts and go out of Prison upon which the Earle causes an Agent to go to him and tell him the 4000 ll would not pay his Debts and perswaded him to sell the Reversion of the Estate and he should have 13 thousand 200 pounds for it that is to say 1200 pounds in hand to help to pay his Debts and with the other twelve thousand pounds the Earle would Purchase him a better Estate than his was But Chambre alledging he could not sell it because of the Lease of two hundred years was kept closer Prisoner than before and forced to Petition to the Earle that the Cook might be paid that he might have Victuals And some of the Earls Agents came often unto him in Prison to make him merry and cheerful and then when they found him a little yielding to the Earls desires he should be sent for to Dine with him at the Castle and sometimes let him out of Prison and then one pretended Debt or other clapt him up again insomuch that he was brought into such misery that he was willing to yield to the Earls desire If his Wife would Then the Earle sent a Messenger to his Wife desiring her that she would pass a Fine and Recovery that her Husband might sell his Estate and come out of Prison but she refusing was threatned and her Husband kept close Prisoner that she nor any else should come at him though she six times Petitioned to see him but could not be admitted 'till he falling often into Convulsion Fits the Keeper thinking he would have died went to the Earl of Strafford and told him that Mr. Chambre had a desire to see his Wife and if she did not see him speedily she would never see him alive upon which he sent his Gentleman to go along with her and three other men went into his Chamber with her which are all sworn to what followeth That he lay upon the Table on his belly as good as dead and they setting him upon his Breech pouring some Spirits and rubbing his Temples 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 prethe Husband replyed she pardon me for it is my fault I would not pass a Fine of Recovery but rather than I will be an Instrument to thy death I will Signe it Upon which words the Gentleman returned to the Earl and told him he must strike whilest the Irons were hot for now she was willing So a Fine was perfected upon these words only and a Deed Sealed by Chambres for the Reversion only to four persons Carpenter Car Little and Billingsly for 13 thousand two hundred pounds when the Estate was worth above Six score thousand for the Lands would be worth within 4 or 5 years time when the old Leases expired 5 or six thousand pounds per Ann. and at that time the Wood upon the Estate was worth a hundred thousand pounds the Earl of Corke having proffered but a year before Old Chambre's death Threescore thousand pounds for the Timber Trees upon the Land But how Wood and Land and all must go for Thirteen thousand two hundred pounds and even of that Money none was ever yet paid except one Five hundred pounds which I think was to Chambres of Minmore for to relinquish all his Right in the Premises so much being given him by Old Mr. Chambres Will to Relinquish all Rights and Claimes in the Premises And the Earl of Strafford made above 30 thousand pounds out of the Profits of the Estate in four years time before the Rebellion broak forth in Ireland as hath been proved by many Witnesses Whereby appears how well the Kings Order before mentionod was observed that the best Bargain should be made to preserve the Estate c. This being done the said Chambre was set at Liberty but coming into the fresh Air and a full Dyet he lived not long after leaving two Children a Son that dyed soon after him and a Daughter But before his Death viz. the 7th of Aug. 1638. he makes his last Will and Testament bequeathing all his Lands to Mary his Wife for 12 years the Remainder one Moiety to his said Wife during her life the other Moiety to his Heirs-Male and for want of an Heir-Male to his Uncle Chambre of Minmore and his Heirs-male for ever And 2000 ll to his Daughter And makes his Wife sole Executrix and expressly gave her all his Goods and Chattels By which she became Entituled to the Lease of 200 years and the 13200 ll agreed to be given for the Reversion of the Premises But Chambre thus dying without having Signed any Deed to lead the uses of the said Fine the Lord Deputy apprehending he had not yet made the Estate secure by his Agents sets up a Nuncupative Will of the said Chambre and a Deed of Uses thereupon bearing Date the 3d of Novemb. with Feoffees joyning with the said Chambre that is to say Ralph Lester Job Ward Calcot Chambre of Minmore Esq pretended to be made his Feoffees by a Deed in his Life time and a Lease and Release dated the same day under Chambre of Carnow's hand only of all the Lands and Appurtinences absolutely whereas the said Chambre in truth did perfect in his Life time only one Deed Dated the 2d of Novemb. which was only of the Reversion and without any Feoffees joyning And these After-deeds were set up only to make the business plausible on the Earls side For the same 3d of Novemb. Carpenter Car Little and Billingsly made a Deed back to Calcot Chambre of Carnow and to Lester Ward and Chambre of Linmore and their Heirs of all their Right and Title till the Deed of Uses or Articles of Agreement were made good by Carpenter Car Little and Billingsly but all to the uses of the Nuncupative Will so that if we own these Deeds we must own that which is false and if we Sue Carpenter c. who Purchased of Chambre they Answer they Reconvey'd all the Right they Purchased and we may seize the Lands for not making good the Articles and renounce all Title In which lies the grand Intrigue of the Fraud But to the end if one Device would not serve another might the Earl about Trinity Term 13 Car. Prim. caused a Case commonly called the Case of Tenures upon defective Titles to be made without Jury or Tryal or consent of Parties or other legal process and procured the opinion of the Judges of England and Letters Pattents wherein amongst others this Estate of Shalelaw is mentioned as a defective Title
