22 August 1713 Articles of Agreement [recited in RO9/7]
24 February 12 Anne [1714] Decree in Chancery [recited in RO9/7]
13 July 1717 Indenture [?error for 30 July, see RO9/7]
by which certain lands and tenements in Houghton Conquest were conveyed to William Goodhall and John Pennington in trust to be conveyed and settled and in the meantime to remain seised to uses as in marriage articles of John Bickford with Dorothea and pursuant to said articles of 22 August 1713 and the said Decree
John Bickford and wife Dorothea are both now dead. Their only issue was Mary who married Mr Samuel Nucella a young silk mercer at Aldgate in very good business by whom she has issue; she is upwards of 21 years of age
Francis Brace, one of the trustees for the marriage settlement is now dead and John Hambleton is still alive
Mr Nucella having occasion for some money in the way of business wishes, with consent of his wife, to borrow the same for which purpose they have acknowledged a caption of a fine this vacation after she became of age but the writ of Covenant will not be returnable until next term as if it had been returnable the last day of this term it would have been a Fine before she came of age; when this fine is levied the uses will be declared to bar the estate tail and corroborate the intended mortgage, remainder to use of Mr. Nucella and his lady and the heirs of the survivor
There is some doubt whether the legal estate may not be in Mr Hambleton who may not be willing to convey without a decree, being a bare trustee; mortgagee desires to be satisfied on certain queries.
There follow two legal queries with opinion of J Ward
