Sept. 5.
The Court. |
27. Sec. Sir Wm. Cecil to Sir Fras. Ayscough, Wm. Thorold, and
Anth. Kyme, commissioners between the Queen and Rob. Montson.
By reason of the minority of John Montson, Her Majesty's ward, she
is to be answered of the issues and profits of the manor of Carlton
Panell, and certain lands and tenements in North Carlton, Saxilby,
Risam, Wyham, Burton, and Bouthby next Nawneby, all co. Lincoln,
and late parcel of the possessions of Wm. Montson, deceased; but as
Robt. Monston claims a state of inheritance in parcel of the said
manor of Carlton Panell and other possessions, there was a commission awarded to you and others out of the Court of Wards and
Liveries, for examination of certain witnesses. Since awarding the
commission, understanding that Sir John Monston, great grandfather to the ward, in his lifetime gave to John Monston, father of
the ward, and to his for ever, all the said manor lands and tenements, I require you to consider the records which the feodary
of the county shall deliver you, so as both Her Majesty may have
her right, and the ward's inheritance be saved. If you perceive the
examination of witnesses is hurtful to the conveyance made by
Sir John Monston, then refer the commission, with the record
which shall be shown for the Queen, without further examination
of witnesses. [1½ pages, damaged.] |

St. Bees, Cumberland. Also that according to her promise last
year, she would restore his patent of a pension of 50l. a year
granted him by Edward VI.,—who, had he lived, would have converted it into 50l. land,—but restrained in Queen Mary's time.
Also that the moneys due to him from the Exchequer may be
allowed in defalcation of his debts there. [1 page.] |
