January 1560

1560 ?
Jan. 2.
50. Sir Rich. Southwell to Mr. Hoo. Private affairs. Thanks for your friendly remembrances for the feoffment of the living of your manor of Burys. I remember my promise last year, if you liked to deal with me upon a reasonable price, to make you ready payment. Since then I have bargained with W. Tyndall for a manor in Wasslonde, for which I paid 860l., which has much weakened my pocket; yet if you make me a reasonable value, with your least price, I will make present shift for you. If you are at Surrey sessions, we shall meet there; if not, upon your letter declaring your full determination, I will immediately answer you of mine. [1 page.]
Endorsed with a note to speak with Mr. Stringer for a resident in Wells, where the court is kept.
Jan. 25.
Lanherne.
51. John Arundel to the Lord Keeper. John Stanway, and others of Cardington, Cornwall,—Queen's tenants by reason of the minority of the young Earl of Bath,—Mr. Compton, two lords [of the Manor], with Lord Zouch and myself, are subpœned before you, on writs procured by Wm. Courtney on no just title; therefore I must speak in the poor men's behalf; if they carried away corn which Courtney claims, it was done to the use of the Queen's title, in behalf of her ward and those Lords. Therefore I entreat that the poor men may be allowed to answer before commissioners nominated by you here. [1 page.]
Endorsed, "Let the attorney in the Star Chamber answer me how the case standeth."
1560.
Jan. 25.
52. Perambulation of Scrotby manor, from Ormsby mill and the mill on the seashore eastwards. [Book of 8 folios, with a few marginal notes added in 1577.]
Jan. 25. 53. Sir Hugh Paulet to Sec. Sir Wm. Cecil. Pray remember my late advertisements on the affairs of Jersey. As I wish you to understand the state of things spiritual and temporal, I send you a letter from my son Amias Paulet. I desire your opinion, which I will see observed; or that you would write to John Paulet, my brother, parson, of St. Martin's and Dean of Jersey, known to the Queen's late visitors of the West parts, to whom the spiritual affairs of the island appertain. Some order should be taken, for most of the inhabitants much disliked these devices in matters of religion, set forth after the private fantasies of a few, chiefly Frenchmen, contrary to law. The wisest sort think that it is a French practice to make a tumult, and that those seditious Frenchmen may be spies and practisers for the French. [1½ pages.] Encloses,
53. i. "News from Guernsey." Pacquet, a Jersey priest, is imprisoned in Cornet castle for saying masses, giving the sacraments, &c., for though the people, for countenance sake, come to church and have the sacraments again, they utterly mislike them.
Moreyne, a Guernsey priest, has fled for the same cause, and all the priests are suspected, being sworn subjects of the Bishop of Coutances, by whose practices the people seek to tie themselves to foreign obedience.
Peter Pelley, not regarding his last punishment, is still intimate with M. Martiques, governor of Brittany, an utter enemy, and has sent a son, aged 7, to Brittany, to be trained after the Romish sect, and cleaves still to the friars of St. Breux, Brittany, and is suspected of strange practices. Request for the Council to consider this, as the laws of the realm extend not to the isles, except by commission. [1 page.]
