369 LENTALL V BURGIS
Mr Lentall and Mr Dubldey v Francis Burgis, gent
No date
Abstract
The nature of the complaint of Mr Lentall and Mr Dubldey against Burgis remains unknown. Only Burgis's petition survives in which he requested the Earl Marshal for discharge from his bond to keep the peace, taken out some eight months earlier, since there were no charges forthcoming from the two men.
Initial proceedings

'Whereas about a twelvemonth since your petitioner was brought before your honor upon Information of some differences between him, and one Mr Lentall and Mr Dubldey, and upon examination thereof your lordship was pleased to bind your petitioner with sureties to the peace and especially against Mr Lentall, which he hath accordingly truly obeyed, having in all this time given no distaste to them or any other. Now your petitioner being about 8 months since marryed, living credibly and betaken himselfe to the charge of a family.
