November 1617

Nov. 5. 57. Thos. Rochefort to the Master of the Etoile of St. Malo, at Cascaye. Prices of lead, copper, tin, cordage, &c. Tell Capt. L'Espine that M. Dellivers is scandalized at his going away without paying him for his pains; nor had he paid me the 15 ryals which I paid for him. [1 page, French.]
Nov. 5. 58. Copy of the above. [1 page, French.]
Nov.? 59. Jean Herault, bailiff of Jersey, to Sir Edw. Conway, at Court. I am almost ruined by the death of Sec. Winwood, but we must submit to the will of God. My grief is aggravated by the news of your illness. If it continue, our affairs must go to nothing, as our hope was in your love to this country. I commend the bearer, Mr. Bandinell. [1 page, French.]
1617 ? 60. Petition of John Falaize, of Guernsey, to Council, for further examination of his cause, by Sir Roger Wilbraham, Sir Dan. Dun, and Sir Chris. Parkins, Masters of Requests. Has a controversy with the children of Louis De Vic, about a rent with arrears of 11½ bushels of wheat; was discharged from payment by the bailiffs and jurats; the defendants appealed to Council, and the case was submitted on 12 April to Sir Fras. Bacon and George Calvert, and sentence given, as he expected, in his favour. But Lawrence De Vic, defendant's attorney, produced an agreement whereby he was to pay the rent claimed, and also three quarters more wheat from which he had before been cleared. Repaired to Sir Fras. Bacon to complain, but he is too busy on His Majesty's affairs to consider the cause. [¾ page.]
61. Petition of the inhabitants of Guernsey to Council. You ordered that no appeals should be made under 40s. rent or 40l. goods; but many persons bring suits under the name of doleance, without the caution and legal forms. Request observation of the order about appeals, and for avoiding controversies, that no appeals of doleance or otherwise be made, unless the complainant give 10l. for the use of the poor, if he fail in his appeal. [⅓ page.]
62. Petition of Thos. Valeis and John Watts, of Silton co. Dorset, to William Earl of Pembroke, Lord Chamberlain of the King's household, to stay any further prosecution against them in the Star Chamber, and refer to the gentry of the county the examination of the charge against them of forestalling the Queen's deer in Gillingham forest. Confess that they coursed and killed one of two deer which had strayed into Silton, but they know not whether it came from Gillingham, Selwood, or Stourton forest, or elsewhere. [¾ page.]
63. Petition of John Wrenham to the King to pierce with his eagle eyes into the truth of a business relating to the manors of Grand Corts, Blackborough, and Wrongey, adjudged to him by the Lord of Kinloss, on manifestation of frauds and perjuries committed by the justices; is falsely accused of misrepresentation in his statement of the case. [¾ page.]
64. Notes that Capt. Vaughan, in a man-of-war with the States' commission, took the Pearl of Calais and other ships laden with cochineal, indigo, hides, tobacco, and other prizes, and went to Alarocco, in Barbary; the crew growing mutinous, he forsook that life, took his share and sold the hides for 1,700l. to a merchant Jew of Alarocco, who gave him 700l. and a bill on Bradshaw, a London merchant, with whom he returned to London; but the Lord Admiral seized him and his goods. The rest of his company went in a Hamburgh ship which they had taken to Ireland, and there sold many of the goods; but returning for Plymouth, anchored in Cawsam bay, and straying to land at night with 1,700l. of the money, were seized by Sir Rich. Hawkins, Vice-Admiral [of Devon]. [1 page.]
65. Lease by Richard Taylor, of London, gent., to Thomas Hinsman, of a messuage, with the appurtenances, for seven years, rent, 13l. Sealed and delivered in the presence of Edw. Taylor Serjt., and Wm. Andrews and Wm. Clerk, his servants. [Parchment, imperfect.]
66. Note that in 1591, Queen Elizabeth was seized of tithe grain in the parish of Trimley, alias Tynley, co. Gloucester, yearly rent and farm, 3l. In that year she granted a warrant to the Earl of Ormond for lands of 300l. a year, to be granted in fee-farm to Edmond Downing and Roger Rante, which was passed by patent 27 May 1592. After the full filling up of the 300l. a year, there was added in the same patent the premises in Trimley, without warrant or consideration for the same, for which 60 years' purchase is due to the King by the Statute of 43 Eliz., and has to be paid by Sir Wm. Throgmorton, assignee.
