Chambers Slaughter alias Stoughton of Upper Slaughter, co. Gloucester, esq v William Arkell of Lower Slaughter, co. Gloucester

Abstract

The origin and result of Slaughter alias Stoughton's, complaint against Arkell remains unknown as only Stoughton's bond of 13 August 1640 survives.

Initial proceedings

5/189, Plaintiff's bond

Bound to 'appear in the court in the painted Chamber within the Pallace of Westminster'.

Signed by Leonard Chamberlayne (of the Middle Temple, London), gent, acting for Stoughton.

Notes

The plaintiff did not appear in the Visitation of Gloucestershire of 1623 but may have been a relative of the royalist Lieutenant-colonel John Slaughter of Slaughter, co. Gloucester. Chambers Slaughter was appointed to the commission of the peace for co. Gloucester in July 1633.
