Englefield should not forthwith account for these trust moneys and assigne ouer the said trusts to Sir George Moore Sir Iohn VValter and M. Tho. Spencer he should againe be committed and a Fine of 500 l is set on his head which Sir Fra. Englefield conceiuing to be no breach of the trust he therefore by his petition resting vpon Record proffered the same tendred performance thereof accordingly as shall appeare testified vnder the hands of the Lord Chancellour himselfe and two of the Masters of the Court yet as if he had refused to assigne or account is he againe vpon this order without any warrant for his commitment violently drawne to the prison of the Fleet where he continued full 21 months more and the said Lady St Iohn hauing by meanes of false suggestions made to his Maiestie procured a grant of this 500 l pound fine iudgement is giuen against Sir Francis Englefield contrary to law for this 500 l which forthwith is leuied out of his goods and paid vnto her The lands subiect to this trust being by the strongest assurance of the Law so conueyed to these three Feoffees and no power thereby left in the Viscount to stir or alter the same neuerthelesse in May 1615. he exhibiteth a bill in Chancery against the said Feoffees pretending thereby that they had broken this trust as also that they desired to be disburdened from the same and therefore praid that by the authoritie of the Court they might be enioyned to assigne this trust to such other new Feoffees as he should nominate In answer to which bill the Defendants doe on their oath denie to haue broken or neglected this trust or that euer they desired to be freed from the same it was neuerthelesse 16.
