Said place was at first granted to William Coward, during pleasure, and not for life, and a letter written by the King's command, by Lord Arlington, directed Coward to account for the profits to said Sir Francis, who received the same accordingly during his life, allowing his nephew a proportion for executing said place. After the death of Sir Francis there happened the same contest as now, between Dame Dorcas Mary Doddington and John Doddington, the eldest son, which dispute was heard by Lord Keeper Bridgman. After which Lord Arlington did, by the King's command, declare that Coward should continue in the office and said John Doddington have the profits thereof, which he did during his life. But he being now dead his wife petitions for same for support of her children, she having but a narrow and emcumbered estate. But said James Doddington petitions for same, alleging that his father, by his will, disposed of said profits to trustees for his use. Details as to said Sir Francis's will and estate, and as to 1,000l., part thereof lent to Sir John Roth and now in hazard.
