A TRVE RELATION OF THE GROVND Occasion and Circumstances of that horrible Murther committed by IOHN BARTRAM Gent. vpon the body of Sir IOHN TYNDAL of Lincolns Inne Knight One of the Masters of the Honorable Court of Chancery the twelfth day of this instant Nouemb. Written by way of Letter from a Gentleman to his Country friend Together with the Examination of the said Bartram taken before the right Honourable Sir Fra. Bacon Knight his Maiesties Atturney Generall and Sir Henry Yeluerton Knight his Maiesties Solliciter General according to speciall directions giuen by his Maiestie in that behalfe LONDON Printed by Iohn Beale 1616. A True Relation of THE GROVND Occasion and Circumstances of that horrible Murther committed by IOHN BARTRAM Gent. vpon the body of Sir IOHN TYNDALL of Lincolnes Inne Knight One of the Masters of the honble Court of CHANCERY the twelfth day of this instant Nouember SIR NO streames run swifter then the rumors of vnhappy accidents though it oft falleth out that the faster they run the more troubled their current is You cannot but haue heard of the cruell murder and massacre of Sir Iohn Tyndall wrought by the wicked and bloudy hand of Iohn Bartram But I feare that different humours in their relations haue set seuerall stamps vpon the fact some fanciing circumstances that fell not out some knowing neither the number nor the truth of them some neglecting to divulge the particulars and some mistrusting errour in the report are rather filled with wonder at the action then with hatred of it You shall heereby in a short period haue the corne winnowed from the chaffe and reall truth brought you without either mixture or addition of fancy or falshood being drawne from them that best knew it and had best cause to vnderstand it wherein you shall see how neglected sparkes lurking in a corrupt heart will soone breake into flames of mischiefe One Leonard Camberlin about seuen yeeres past dying without issue and without Will there was obtained for Anne Chamberlin then an infant his brothers daughter by the practise and labour of Sir Phillip Scudamore an administration of Leonards goods This Anne was neither priuie to it nor had profit by it but by this meanes the personall estate of Leonard fell into the fingers of Sir Phillip who when hee had sifted the estate thoroughly shifted himselfe our of the kingdome and being ill affected to the Religion here pretended to gaine the liberty of an euill conscience beyond the Seas where he died a Papist Iohn Bartram hauing married the halfe sister of Leonard in the behalfe of his wife obtaines a repeale of the Administration granted to Anne and had it committed to his wife as of right it ought When he had thus gotten the Administration he and his wife complaine in Chancery against Anne Chamberlin that shee might discouer the true estate of Leonard the Intestate and haue the same by order of that Court set ouer to them Heerevpon Anne maketh her answere vpon her Oath but is able to discouer no particulars of the estate neither in debts nor otherwise for nothing came to her hands but all was latcht in the hands of Sir Phillip Scudamore in pretence of her right as Administratrix But Bartram descending to proofes in this sute had the precise testimony of two witnesses that there was due to Leonards Chamberlins estate from one Harris vpon all bonds accompts reckonings and specialties 200. pound The Cause comming to hearing the Lord Chancellor in his Honorable Iustice minding that Bartrā should haue from Anne Chamberlin so much of Leonards estate as was proued in Court which was 22. pound vpon all bonds and reckonings from Harris and no more And so pronouncing his decree by the error and slip of the Register it was set downe and penned that a bond of 200. pound made by Harris to the Intestate should bee by Anne deliuered to Bartram and his wife Bartram herein espying his aduantage hotly pursues the decree to haue a particular bond of 200. pound brought in Court and deliuered which when Anne examined therevpon could not performe excusing her selfe by Sir Phillip Scudamores catching into his hands of all the bonds and specialties due to Leonard the Intestate shee was ordered by the Court to bring in the 200. pound and to pay the same to Bartram and his wife which shee did and they had it When Bartram saw hee had caught the prey hee neuer hunted and had the two hundred pound in his purse as due vpon a particular bond which was neither confessed by the partie nor proued by the witnesses that this Sent might die in his craftie couetousnesse hee would not too eagarly follow the Chase but sleepes vpon this many moneths before he sets his foot forward in this suit againe A yeere after he reneues his cry and moues the Court That because it stood proued that vpon diuers accompts bonds reckonings and specialties there was due from Harris to Leonard the Intestate the summe of two hundred pound therefore desired that Anne the defendant at this time married to Sir George Symons might bring those into the Court to be deliuered to him and his wife which was granted by the Lord Chancellor accordingly and a day certaine giuen for performance thereof When Bartram saw the day past and the Order not performed hee eagerly sues forth vpon the defendant Annes contempt the ordinary proces of the Court till it came to proclamation of Rebellion And though hee might haue seene himselfe checkt by the hand of God in taking her to rest who liued a restlesse life by his disquieting her in sutes yet doth he not desist but seeing her closed vp in the earth hunts her husband Sir George Symons till hee brings him to the bay and then layes hold on him as for a contempt in not bringing in his wife while shee liued the Law supposing euery wife amesnable at the will of her husband and by order of the Court in the Iustice of it gets him committed to the fleete where he hath remained in the nature of a prisoner from Hillary terme last till the last day of this Michaelmas Terme Now Sir George Symons finding himselfe thus ouerlayed by his aduersary Bartram and that his hawkes eye watcht now to make him his prey petitioneth to the Lord Chauncellor and humbly by way of motion also desireth that the whole proceedings in the cause may be reuiewed the confession of the defendant Anne vpon her oath while shee liued may be considered and the proofes compared to see if any particular bond of two hundred pound or if any double summe of two hundred pound were proued inforcing that Bartram had already in his purse as much as any way was warranted by proofe The Lord Chauncellor somewhat compassionate herein and as in all cases so especially being tender to restraine the subiect of his libertie vnlesse hee incurre some manifest contempt was pleased herevpon to referre the same to Sir Iohn Tyndall and Master Doctor
