Petition of Robert and George Bryndlose, John Young, and
Rich. Sayer, for the tenants on lands in Bedale called Stapleton's lands, to the Committee for Sequestrations for co. York
and Kingston-upon Hull. There are two manors in Bedale,
called Stapleton's and Theakstone's manors; petitioners have
been tenants of the former for many years, and paid their
rents—after the death of Elizabeth Stapleton, widow, who
held the same for life, it being her jointure,—to Rich. Stapleton, her grandchild and heir, upon whom the lands are settled
by an entail made 32 Eliz.; he entered into possession, and
petitioners agreed to continue tenants to him at the former
rents. Since then information has been given to the late Committee for Compounding, that the whole lordship was [Sir Rich.]
Theakstone's, who was a delinquent, and thereupon petitioners'
rents were demanded for the use of the Commonwealth. Beg
not to be molested by driving of their goods [cattle], nor forced
to pay their rents double, but to have the title cleared. |
