Nicolls of Salop affirmed that it was due to him as executor to Anne Kynaston, deceased, sister to Rachel, wife of Dr. Arskin, and that Anne had left several great legacies and debts to be paid, and that Rachel had her portion paid or secured to her.
In the absence of Nicolls, who was forced to fly out of the county for his affection to Parliament,—this county being then wholly under the power of the late King,—Dr. Arskin, under colour of his intermarriage with Rachel Owen, being a chaplain to Prince Rupert, forced the Owens to enter into the said bond. Nicolls filed a bill in Chancery against Arskin and the Owens, and on his desire we have respited the sequestration and disposal of the 500l., until it appears whether it is really due to Dr. Arskin or to Nicolls. They beg respite of Dr. Erskine's composition meantime.
