October 1591



Oct. 19. Westminster.	24. Lord Burghley to the Masters of Requests. John Harris and Eliz. Harris, his daughter, are served with process out of your Court, at the suit of Eliz. Harris, widow, and Francis Harris, her son; the process has been procured by one Owbery, a bad and busy fellow, upon colour of a lease unduly procured out of the Exchequer (which I mean to have cancelled), of a copyhold in controversy between John Harris and Elizabeth, the widow. After many examinations, I wrote to Mr. Townshend, steward of that Manor of Clure, to admit John Harris, and to deliver him quiet possession, and have sent my messenger to bring Owbery before me, to answer to his contempt. I therefore require you to stay further proceedings upon the said process, and charge such as prosecute the charge to appear before me, where they shall be heard, and receive justice.
