Indenture between Richard lord Beauchamp and Nicholas
Hanley, gentleman of Hanley co. Worcester, whereby the parties
have agreed, that where Nicholas sold to the said lord in fee the
office of chief forester of Malverne Chace, and the manor of Halle
co. Worcester, yet Nicholas by these presents grants that if the
said lord shall make to him a sufficient estate in law of an annuity
of 3l. 6s. 8d., arising out of Halle manor and other lands in
Hanley, Wenland and Upton co. Worcester, besides an annuity
of ten marks aforegranted to him and Margery his wife for term
of their lives, at the hands of the bailiffs and farmers of the said
manors etc. with clause of distraint for nonpayment of the same:
in consideration of this Nicholas releases and quitclaims to the
said lord all covenants and bargains between them before the
date of these presents, and will deliver all covenants between
the parties except the enrolment of the annuity to him and
Margery his wife: and he will confess such actions and suits
when required, and will maintain and avow the same in all courts,
temporal and spiritual, such as he has made before the Star
Chamber at Westminster, sealed with his own hand—to the
effect that where Thomas Hanley and Roger Hanley allege that
they had purchased of him the reversion of the chief forestership
of Malverne Chace and Hall manor, he asserts that the contrary
is true: but Thomas and Roger demanded the reversion of any
lands that he might sell, despite his agreement with the said lord:
and at Tewkesbury in presence of John Higford, they promised
to discharge Nicholas against the said lord; pretending that
John Higford whose daughter Anne the said Nicholas had
married, was enfeoffed of certain lands of his called 'Yardeleys'
to the value of ten marks, and therefore enfeoffed of the above
manor of Halle and office: but Nicholas refused to deceive the
said lord in this way and sent a surety to the lord and also to
John Higford asserting that he never would agree to their desires
without the lord's consent: and also he sent one John Scryvener
to Bristol to find out whether Thomas and Roger were discharging
him to the said lord or no. Yet they made a lease in his name
and without his agreement, causing John Higford to seal the deed,
with remainder after his death to the said Thomas and Roger,
which lease deponent never saw: and when Roger came to him,
he first refused to let him see the deed, but then threw it on the
ground and departed, which deed read showed the disinheritance
of Nicholas against all conscience. So Nicholas sent the same to
Lord Beauchamp at Bristol: and the lord came home to Dodington manor: and there Nicholas, his wife and John Higford met
and had great variance. And John sought to excuse his double
dealing, admitting that he did not know whether he was enfeoffed
of the manor, as he had no profit of it. And it was agreed that
the lord should pay 40s. to John Higford and have deliverance of
the evidence, which he did to John Bigge, esquire of the king's
body, Richard Freywyne and John Skryvener: saving one deed,
in which it was pretended that Nicholas had given to John the
office and manor, which John Higford had forged, as he openly
confessed before Thomas Abrigge serjeant: and Roger Hanley
offered to Nicholas that he should go to sanctuary, and they would
take his livelihood, and pay him a certain sum of money, until
lord Beauchamp was entreated: which Nicholas most steadfastly
refused to do. Given 4 June, 22 Edward IV, in presence of Hugh
Standissh notary, Thomas Sutton, parson of S. Michael Quenehith,
William Ponter, parson of S. Anthonyn's, Thomas Temper, parson
of S. Alphege, Stephen Shadwell esquire, Thomas Parker
'iremonger,' John Dokkyng salter, citizens of London. English. |

Deposition of Nicholas Hanley, that where Thomas and Roger
Hanley priest pretended that he had enfeoffed John Higford of
the office of chief forester of Malverne Chace etc., he declares
upon the Evangelists before the lords of the Star Chamber that
he has never made this enfeoffment: since he on his father's
death entered into the said office as his son and heir, being seised
therein in demesne as of fee: and so continued dwelling in the
said manor of Halle and taking all rents of the same: making
in his own name fines, amercements and cognisance of tenants,
without interruption of John Higford or of others. And long
time before the feigned enfeoffment he did homage for the manor
to the late duke of Clarence, then lord of Hanley lordship, and
paid his relief: and he did all other services and duties of the
said office since his father's death till he made a bargain and sale
thereof to Richard lord Beauchamp as appears by fine in the
common place: and the said Nicholas for casualty of oath, has
caused all his depositions and declarations on the premises to be
made in this form. In witness whereof etc., 6 July, 22 Edward IV. |
