And yet the said Buckley Brandon hath caused the said Petitioner to be arrested into The King's Bench for the same, at the Suit of the said Edward Brandon:

And although it did plainly appear unto the said Under Sheriff, that the Petitioner is Servant to the Right Honourable the Earl of Oxon, he the said Sheriff hath taken the Goods and Lands of the Petitioner in Execution notwithstanding.
