To the right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in this present Parliament assembled. The humble Petition of Erasmus Record and Millicent Vaughan widow the Administratrix of the goods, chattels and debts of Walter Vaughan deceased. Most humbly showing, THat john Skinner became bound in a Recognisance of three thousand pounds to Richard Wilbraham, 22. Aug. Eliz. 41. conditioned to pay one thousand eight hundred pounds to William Winne and his creditors, whereof the petitioner Erasmus Record was one, to whom Winne owed 850 pounds; which condition being broken by the said john Skinner, the said Win and Record preferred their bill in Chancery, 23. jan. Eliz 43. to put the Recognisance in suit: whereupon the Lord Keeper did order the 23 of january 43 of Elizabeth, that the petitioner Record should follow the suit at his own cost and charges, which he did, in regard that Winne was in mean estate, and not able to follow it. Upon that Recognisance the Moiety of the lands of the Manor of Castle-campes in the County of Cambridge, Eliz. 44. by course of Law and order of the Chancery was at the petitioner Records charges extended, and delivered in extent to your petitioner Record and the said Win. Afterwards 4. Febr. 4. Feb. 45. Eliz. Anno 45. Eliz. by consent of all parties and their Counsel, it was decreed in Chancery, that your petitioner Record and his Assigns should have yearly one hundred pounds out of the extended Moiety, until his debt of eight hundred and fifty pounds were paid him. The petitioners further show, jacob. 2. that An. 2. jacobi, there was an assignment from Wilbraham, Winne and Record, made to the said Walter Vaughan, being another creditor of Winne, with a special saving of the petitioner Records decree, and all such order or orders as did concern the issues, rents and profits of the said land so extended: and also a saving of a certain report of Sir john tyndal's (as in the Decree, and by the Deed more plainly doth appear) until your petitioner Record were satisfied and paid out of the extended Moiety eight hundred and fifty pounds with his damages. Also an Act of Parliament passed An. 3. jacobi, jacob. 3. concerning the said extended Manor, on the behalf of M. Sutton, wherein the right of the petitioner Record is likewise saved. Afterwards the petitioner Record and the said Walter Vaughan were outed by Alderman Leman, jacob. 4. by virtue of a former Statute of four hundred pounds; and after that by Sir William Smith upon a Statute of one thousand five hundred pounds (he being one of the Feoffees for the sale of the land.) But notwithstanding the said Statutes, jacob. 5. your petitioner Record and the said Walter Vaughan obtained an Injunction for the possession against Sir john Skinner and Sir William Smith, and all claiming any right under them, and thereby were put in possession again. Then M. Sutton (having no bill in Court against Record or Vaughan) purchased the said Manor, jacob. 5. and retained in his hands one thousand pounds towards satisfaction of the extent, as Sir William Smith hath set down under his hand. But afterwards by a private agreement between Sutton, 23. Sept. jacob. 5. Skinner and Winne, a reference was made to their own counsel, your petitioner Record, nor Vaughan, nor their counsel privy thereunto, as by the order and report doth appear, and as Win by his oath and letter doth acknowledge; notwithstanding a report was made the same day, by which it was pretended that the petitioner Record was satisfied, and thereupon was six hundred pounds given to Winne, and the same day by an order four hundred pounds more was given to Sir john Skinner, neither of them having any right to any part of it. And thus your petitioner Record was defeated of eight hundred and fifty pounds due debt, over and above eight hundred pounds spent in following the suit these two and twenty years, to his utter undoing, being a poor old man of the age of 72 years. Your Petitioners do therefore most humbly pray, that in all Acts to be passed this present Parliament concerning the said Manor of Castle-campes, the petitioner Records right may be saved, or else that he may be satisfied his said debt of 850 pounds, in such manner as this most honourable Assembly shall think meet.
