Scope and Content
William Dockrey, John Williams, Batholomew Dockrey, Edward Millard, John Burrage, and John Holt came to the housde which he [Mayes] occupied at Wootton. Hewlett came up first to the window and said 'I am come to bundle you'. James Mayes went out and his wife locked the door, Hewlett threatened to break open the door and William Dockrey sent for a bar of iron but a spade was brought. In consequence of these and further threats of 'laying hold of me' his [Mayes'] wife opened the door, whereupon Thomas Hewlett, William Dockrey, Bartholomew Dockrey and John Burridge went into his house and carried goods out and put them into the yard of Samuel Ashpole. They did not show him and papers but said they came with the authority of Mr Cardale and Mr Greene.
