November 1592

Nov. 2. 56. Sir Francis Hastings to the Masters of Requests. Nicholas Delabere has served a Privy Seal upon two of my neighbours of Sherburne, to appear before you about a nag. I am sorry he has stirred therein, yet as it has come thus far, let it be dealt with by commission here, to the ease of poor men who may well spare their charges in a matter of no great moment, and indeed may more necessarily employ their labours in the country.[½ page.]
Nov.3.
Sarum.
57. Thomas Hyde [Chancellor] and Ra. Pickhaver [Prebend of Salisbury] to Dr. Aubrey and Mr. Herbert, Masters of Requests. The bearer, Steven Tinney, reeve of Sherburne manor, co. Dorset, lent Nicholas Delabere, in May 1591, a nag, which was taken within the manor as a stranger, receiving of him in pawn thereof another nag, until he brought the strayed nag again. Delabere, riding the strayed nag, came to the dean and chapter of Sarum last January, and desired them to bestow the said horse upon him, which we did, and gave him a warrant for it, being utterly ignorant of the custom that the Lord (which we were for the time, by reason of the late vacation of the see of Sarum) should not have the strayed beast, but only the price at which it was valued, and the Reeve should have the beast. Now having this warrant in January, he never delivered the same to this poor man until now after Michaelmas, when he also serves him with a Privy Seal out of the Court of Requests, to appear before you this term. The premises considered, and in the absence of the dean, as we in courtesy gave him the horse, in ignorance of the custom, we beg you will command Delabere to be content with what it was in our power to give, that is, the price of the horse, which this poor man will readily deliver him, whereby you will ease the poor old man of a great trouble, and save us from some obloquy, and give us cause to take more heed to our grants hereafter.

Nov. 8.
Hampton Court.
58. Henry Lord Hunsdon to Drs. Aubrey and Caesar and the other Masters of Requests. There is a suit depending in your Court between the bearer Richard Procter and John Buckman, who has already shifted the matter into three Courts, and so put it off that no hearing has been had, and means to do the same in your Court, either with the help of corrupt witnesses, as he has already done, or some other sinister course. Pray hear the matter, and let it not pass out of Court until it has been determined. [½ page.]
Nov. 11.
Alnwick.
59. Return by Sir John Forster and five other Commissioners against Recusants to Council.. We confirm our late certificate of our proceedings, by virtue of our commission, against dangerous persons in the wards of Cuckdale, Elendale, Bamborough, Norhamshire, and the [Ferne] islands, save that Margaret wife of Michael Hebborn of Hebborn is reformed, and comes to divine service, and Geo. Collingwood of Broom Park is bound over to answer before the Bishop of Durham. All the other Recusants resident within the wards have absented themselves, and as the sheriff cannot apprehend them under the warrant formerly granted, we have issued another. [1 page.] Annexing,
59. i. Warrant by Sir John Forster and three others to Ralph Gray, High Sheriff of Northumberland, to apprehend 48 persons named, and bring them to Alnwick on 7 Nov. 1592. [1 page.] Alnwick, 27 Sept. 1592.
59. ii. Return by Ra. Gray, Sheriff, to [Sir John Forster]. By virtue of my warrant, I have caused diligent search to be made for the persons therein named, to attach them, but only the following can be found within my bailiwick, viz., Margaret Hebborn of Hebborn, who promised to appear and has done so; John Ilderton inLondon; Julian Gower in Yorkshire; Agnes Collingwood, sick and not able to travel; Lady Gray and her two gentlewomen, and Francis Dodsworth, are not in the country; Elizabeth Muschance, confined to bed sick. Geo. Collingwood, bound to appear before the Lord Warden; and Isabel Radcliffe, great with child and not able to travel. In Edlingham, Lamendon, and Aberwick the doors are shut, and none within to answer. Lionel Forster appeared; Dorothy Mitford is very sick. [¾ page.] 7 Nov. 1592.
