June 27. Serjeants'Inn.	61. Lord Chief Justice Popham to Jas. Morrice, attorney of the Court of Wards and Liveries. My godson, Hartopp, Her Majesty's ward, has had tedious suits, and but few friends save myself and the poor man Damport, his guardian. My Lord Treasurer and the rest of the Court of Wards gave order that such living as he had to his own use should be accounted for to me, which I find too troublesome, and as Damport has, with my good liking, passed over the wardship to Mr. Evelyn,—one of the six clerks, who dwells near the ward's lands, and has a purpose to bestow him in marriage upon one of his own daughters,—I desire, if the Court pleases, that the charge may be removed from me, and committed to Mr. Evelyn, who, I doubt not, will deal very carefully for the child, and I shall be ready to give the ward any help that I may.
