HW86/55

Case on the outlawry of Everard & forfeiture of Isabella’s estate, giving account of estate bequeathed.

6 Sept. 1728

From: 1728 To: 1728

Hester Browning directed in her will that her estate at Mildenhall, Suffolk, be sold & divided between the grandchildren of her two sisters. Katherine Harwood left £6000 to buy estates to be settled on J. & Isabella Eccleston, remainder to their five children (one of whom is Isabella Everard); & also £500 legacy at 21 or marriage. John Harwood left an additional £500 to his granddaughter Isabella (Everard). Counsel's opinion is that the outlawry causes forfeiture of the legacies to the Crown. The real estate may be enjoyed by Isabella’s present heir apparent, her brother Theodore Eccleston, Everard may reverse the outlawry on writ of error. or for his absence abroad at the time it was pronounced.
