London. |
86. Chamberlain to Carleton. Sir Thos. Overbury dead, and buried
in the Tower. The manner of his death is not known. The corpse
was very offensive. Nobody pities him, and his own friends do not
speak well of him. Dr. Abbot was likely to be made a Bishop, but
his brother, the Archbp. of Canterbury, has lost some favour about
the great [divorce] business. The marriage between the Earl of
Essex and Lady Fras. Howard dissolved. Particulars of the
settlement by the King of the quarrel between the Earl [of Essex] and Hen. Howard. Lord Coke hesitates to leave the Chief
Justiceship of the Common Pleas and accept that of the King's
Bench, which is urged on him by the King, who wishes to
make Sir Fras. Bacon Attorney. Yelverton spoken of as Solicitor,
because of his services to the King in Parliament. Death of
Lord Petre and of Sir John Brograve, Attorney of the Duchy,
who is succeeded by Moseley. Sir Ralph Winwood and Sir

on Sir Thos. Lake. Lord Rochester pays 20,000l. for lands belonging
to the Dacres and Nevills in Westmoreland, and is to be made Earl
of Westmoreland. |

London. |
89. Chamberlain to Carleton. Sir Ralph Winwood intends to press
for his despatch [to Holland], lest it be supposed that he is lingering
after the Secretaryship. Sir Hen. Neville is now quite fallen, and it
is thought that Sir Thos. Lake will hold the place, but without the
title, under Rochester, who is made Treasurer of Scotland. Sir Edw.
Coke called up to the Chief Justiceship of the King's Bench, to his
own regret, and that of all the officers of Common Pleas. Sir Fras.
Bacon made Attorney General; it is feared he will prove a dangerous
instrument. A Spanish match talked of. Reception of an Ambassador from the new Emperor of Muscovy, whose election is likely to
be questioned. The Muscovy Company resolve to defend by force
the whale fishing in Greenland, which they discovered a few years
ago, from the Hollanders, who have sent deputies about it. The
Spaniards threaten to drive the English from the Bermudas. A piece
of amber as big as a giant found there. The East India vessels
returned, richly laden. Dr. Carrier, the King's Chaplain, is turned
Papist, and more are likely to follow, so many priests and Jesuits
arriving and passing unpunished. Sir Thos. Edmondes likely to be
Secretary under Rochester. Proclamation by the King himself on
the late quarrel between the Earl of Essex and Hen. Howard. |
Oct. 28.
