April 1561

April 10.
Settrington.		 5. Margaret countess of Lenox and Angus to Fras. Yaxley. I told you of my suit to the Queen for licence to sell 100l. worth of marsh lands, to pay my lord's debts and mine; I have got leave to sell 67l. worth, but it is not sufficient. I beg you to intercede with Lord Robert [Dudley], to whom I have written to obtain an extension of the licence, considering his gentleness and good inclination to pleasure his friends, of whom I am one.

April 22.
Bromham.		 6. James Stumpe to the Lord Keeper. Five or six years past, I was chosen by Ralph Bolton and Matthew King to make an end of the controversies between them; my order was that Bolton should deliver to King 20l. and three or four kine, and King give him a discharge for all debts and controversies.

[April.] 7. Interrogatories to be answered by Lady Waldegrave. What communications have you had since last Michaelmas of a General Council?
