2 July. Thos. Mill complains that John Davies and Jane Brown,
in 1645, sealed 2 ejectment leases and surreptitiously got two
judgments against the tenants, without any defence by Sir
John Mill, then a prisoner. Davies has neglected to pay the
moneys due according to his bond for 300l. with Sherren,
Collector for the Commonwealth, has possessed himself of the
mansion house, and refuses to pay rent for it, so that petitioner cannot raise the latter moiety of his fine, 675l., but on
very hard terms. Begs that Davies may be compelled to pay
his arrears, and the money received for sale of woods. |

good, and this has been done by several trials at law, where no
verdict has been given against them. Beg respite of payment. |

will, dated 19 May 1627, of Thomas Mills, of Davington, Kent,
who contracted them upon his said father and his heirs, in default of issue, to Ann Mill, his daughter, and [Sir] John Mill,
