Showeth unto your lordship your daily orator Edward Barbour of Western Jones, co. Stafford, gentleman; that whereas about fyfty years past one Robert Barbour, grandfather unto your said orator, was seised in his demesne as of fee of a pasture containing by estimation 14 acres called Crosse Leasowe in the fee and lordship of Weston Jones, and so seised, he, his farmers, and tenants have received the profits thereof for the space of 20 years or thereabouts; and afterwards that is to say, about 30 years last past, the same Robert died so seised. Immediately after his death the premises came to John Barbour father of your said orator and his heires, who entered into the same premises and received all the profits thereof for the space of 26 years, until about five years last past at which time the said John Barbour your orator's father for sundry good considerations did assure the said pasture to your orator and his heirs forever; by virtue of which assurance your said orator entered into the said pasture and was thereof seised in his demesne as of fee and took the profits thereof until about the fifth of November last past when Thomas Dod of Lointon in the said co. Stafford, yeoman, Peter Mynshew of the same Town and Countie, husbandman, Robert Butler of the same town and country, husbandman, Raulf Rylande and William Perton of the same town and countie, husbandmen, having got into their hands, as well the ancient evidences proving the title how and by what right the said Robert Barbour was seised of the said pasture, as also evidences whereby the same was conveyed to your said orator from the said John Barbour his father; by colour of having which evidences, about the fifth day of November they did enter into possession of the said premisses and the hedges and ditches of your suppliant which surround the said pasture did tear, break, and violently cast down, and in no wise will suffer your orator to take the profits of the same, but continue daily their foresaid wrong-doings to unquiet him; and although your orator has many times desired them as well to suffer your suppliant quietly to enjoy the said pasture, as also to deliver to him the said evidences yet they refuse. In consideration whereof may it please your lordship to grant the Queen's writ of subpoena to be directed unto the said Thomas Dod, Peter Mynshewe, Robert Butler, Ralfe Ryeland and William Perton commanding them to appear before your lordship in the Court of Chancery at a certain day and under a certain penalty to answer to the premises .

The answer of Thomas Dodd, Peter Mynshall, Robert Butler and William Parton.

These defendants say that they hold certain tenements in Loynton, co. Stafford, that is to say, Thomas Dodd hath one tenement with the appurtenances there during divers years, the reversion therof belonging to John Egerton. And the said Peter Mynshall one other tenement and certain landes therunto belonging, the inheritance whereof belongeth to one Humfrey Dern; and the said Robert Butler holdeth one other tenement with the lands thereto belonging, the reversion belonging to one George Kyrton and his wife. The said William Parton holdeth one other tenement with lands, the reversion thereof belonging to Jane Egerton. The owners of the said tenements for time whereof there is no memory to the contrary have had a common of pasture for themselves and their tenants for their beasts in one close commonly called the "newe lesue" in the Lordship of Weston Jones, in manner following, that is to say, when the field where the said "leasue" doth lie called Radmor field, lieth fallow then through the whole year ; and when the said field is sown with corn, then from the reaping and carrying away of the corn there grown until the same be sown again; which "leasue" before mentioned the defendants think to be the " leasue " meant to be the "Crosse Leasue" mentioned in the bill for the defendants know not any "leasue" called the "Crosse Leasue" nor yet any other "leasue" than the " leasue" aforesaid for which there is any contention between the defendants and the said plaintiff. But the said Peter Mynshall Robert Butler and William Parton say that they do not any of them claim anything in the said leasue other than the said common nor yet have entered into the same leasue nor break the hedges or fences thereof, wherefore the said bill is exhibited against them altogether for vexation. And further they say they have not had at any time any deeds, writings or evidences concerning the said lease, nor any concerning the plaintiff or touching any lands of the plaintiff. And the said Thomas Dodd further saith that he did break open the said close and lease being fenced and inclosed in such time as he ought to have common in the same to the end that, his cattle might take their pasture therein not claiming any other title therein.

And forasmuch as your orator knoweth not the certain date of the said indenture nor where the said deed of entail be contained, whether in bag or box sealed or in chest locked.

Showeth unto your honourable lordship your daily orator John Barbour of Flossebroke co. Stafford, esquire, that whereas your orator about the Feast of Easter in the 6th year of the reign of our sovereign lady the Queen, built to his great cost, a mansion or dwelling house, half timber, in the town of Flossebroke co. Stafford. And one Walter Eyton alias Mason, bricklayer, upon an agreement betwixt him and your orator, that he the same Walter should after with expediency build one large chimney in the kitchen of the same house of a certain measure of largeness, the said chimney to have three tops or condites to serve the chambers over the kitchen, to be builded well and sufficiently to a certain height, also agreed upon betwixt them, receiving of your said orator the sum of 46s. 8d. for his workmanship, your orator finding the meat and drink, and all the stuff whereof the said chimney should be made. And further it was agreed that the same Walter Mason for all the residue of the said chimneys which should be raised in and about the same house should make them by day-wages of a certain rate of day-wages; and that the said Walter should not enter into any other manner of service until your orator's work should be finished. And shortly afterwards the said Walter Mason entered into the work, and before he had raised the said kitchen chimney to a competent height and having also begun all the other chimneys, he finished and topped the said kitchen chimney, it being 3 yards too short, and the rest of the chimneys only half the height agreed to. The said Walter also got into his hands the said agreement, and refused to come again to your orator's said works until winter time, when he returned and worked a great part of the same in the frost, and was by the severeness of the frost, enforced to leave 5 tops or condites of the said other chimneys not raised to their full height, by 5 yards a piece, then he departed and promised faithfully to come and raise all the chimneys to a competent height when your orator should send for him. And in March last your orator send word to him to come, but he came not; and your said orator sustained great loss in the timber works of his said house and a great part of the work that the said Walter had done, decayed by mouldering away and falling down of the morter thereof; and your orator was enforced to have other workmen, and required the said Walter Mason to make him reasonable awards, yet the said Walter has refused. May it therefore please your lordship to grant the Queen's writ of subpmna to the said. Walter Mason, commanding him to appear at the Court of Chancery to make answer to the premises.² In 1570 Bundle 29. No. 35.

Stafford in his demesne as of fee, and quietly received the issues and profits thereof for the space of 30 years, and afterwards, that is to wit, about 36 years last past the said Robert Barbour died so seised, after whose death the premises descended to your said orator who entered into the same and quietly took the issues and profits thereof.
