OR1953/1

Petition to Lord Buckhurst, Lord Treasurer, by William Payne. -- In 1584/5 he purchased from Thomas Southwell the reversion of the Manor of Podington for £1000. He is now in possession and lately the Manor has been extended on a statute staple of £3000 acknowledged by Southwell to Wilmer in 1582/3 which was assigned by Wilmer to the Crown for the payment of Phillip’s debt.

6 May 1600.

From: 1600 To: 1600

The extent is stayed and Payne has been ordered to exhibit his english bill versus Wilmer. Payne’s counsel is of the opinion that the assignment to the Crown was void at law and there are no grounds therefore on which to frame the bill. Will his Lordship refer this opinion to the Barons of the Exchequer. Buckhurst sees no reason to undo the original order.
