288 HAYNES V WILLOWBY
Hopton Haynes of Ballymackey, Ireland, gent v Sir Thomas Willowby of Warminster, co. Wiltshire, knt
May - June 1635
Abstract
Haynes complained that Willowby had said 'Mr Hopton Haynes was hanged in Ireland in grave scandall'. Haynes sought redress and Willowby was taken into the custody of the Earl Marshal, but no indication of sentence survives. [A Thomas Willoughby of Warminster, gent, probably a relative, appears as plaintiff in a later case, see case 716].
Summary of proceedings
On 9 May 1635 it was ordered that Willowby was to be taken into custody. On 9 June 1635 Willowby was mentioned as being in the custody of the Earl Marshal and was alleged to have said that 'Mr Hopton Haynes was hanged in Ireland in grave scandall'.
