–176		 3 Nov. 1652. Anne Spencer, widow and administratrix of Edmund Spencer, and Edmund, their son and heir, petition that in 12 Car. her husband mortgaged his lands in and near Congleton, co. Chester, for 300l. to Rich. Hankinson, who then redemised them to him for 21 years at 20l. rent, which he, and the widow, since his death, have paid, but she is now turned out, the premises being sequestered for recusancy of Hankinson. Obtained an order from the Committee for Sequestrations for the lands during the remainder of the lease, and held them for some time, but now the County Commissioners have taken them, and let the houses go out of repair. Edmund Spencer being willing to pay the 300l. mortgage, they beg that Hankinson may be ordered to accept it, and convey his interest to them. 119

3 Dec. Hankinson petitions, owning the mortgage, but pleading that he was to have 12 months' notice before redemption. He also owns the re-demise, Edm. Spencer entering into a statute of 600l. before Wm. Newton, then mayor of Congleton, but he died 3 months after. The estate was sequestered in 1642, and since then only 68l. 6s. 8d. has been paid to the late County Committee, of which he was allowed ⅓, 42l. to the present County Committee, and 21l. to him—131l. 6s. 8d. in all; so that of the 6 years' rent and 10l. arrears due in 1642, total, 210l., 78l. 13s. 4d. is still due, besides the 300l. 119
94		 147
329
The Spencers could have held the land had they paid the rent to the County Committee; but to free themselves from the rent, they pretended a former mortgage of part of the estate to Anne Spencer's father, Mr. Rider, and this part they kept during the time of the late County Committee; but the present County Committee sequestered it 2 years since, and have advanced the rent to above 20l., keeping the overplus towards the arrears. He therefore declines the 300l., unless the 78l. 13s. 4d. and interest is paid. Being 70 years old, and weak and poor, begs that his examinations may be taken by the County Committee, and he allowed to compound for the mortgaged estate.
