Assignment of an extent, upon a sta­tute forfeited to the Queen.

THis INDENTƲRE made &c. witnesseth, that whereas W C. the seventeenth day of M. in the twentieth year of the Raigne of our late Soveraigne Lord, King Henry the 8 ^th, before Sir T S Maior of the Stalpe at Westminster, and Constable of the same by his recognizance in the Nature of a statute staple, knowledged before the said Sir T S the said 17 day of M in the said 20 year of &c. acknowledged him­self to stand and be indebted unto one T A Esq in the sum of 2000 marks, to have been paid to the said T on the feast of P then next following, as in and by the said Statute more at large it doth & may appear. After the knowledgment of which said recognizance, the said T A in the time of the late King Ed. the 6. was attainted of felony, by the the name of T A K ^r. by reason of which attainder, as wel the said debt of 2000 marks, as also all the goods, chattels, rights, debts, and credits which were the said Tho. Arundels, to the said K. Ed. the 6. did appertain and belong, and so by his death, and by the death of the late Queens Majestie, the same debt of 2000 marks due by the recognizances, became due to our Soveraigne Lady Eliz. the Queens Majestie that now is.

And whereas also afterwards, our said Soveraigne Lady Eliz. the Queens Majestie that now is, by her Highness Letters patents, under the great Seal of En­gland, bearing date &c. for the consideration in the said Letters patents expressed, did give and grant to the said Rob. Zinzan, aliàs Alexander, all, and [Page 139] all manner of Recognizances, debts, and penalties forfeited to our said Soveraigne Lady, by reason of the attainder of any person or persons, and from her Highness concealed, and before the date of the said Letters patents unjustly detained, to the number of 30 such persons attainted of Felony, as the said Ro. Z. or his assignes should name, within two years after the date of the said Letters patents, unto the Lord high-Treasurer of England, or to the Chancellour of the Exchequer for the time being. And further granted to the said R Z by the same Letters patents, that it should be lawfull to and for him, as wel in her Majesties name, as in the name of the said R, to implead, condemn, and put in execution any person or persons which ought to yield and pay any such sums of mony, debts, recognizances and forfeitures, and to take execution thereof to his and their owne use, as by the same Letters patents, amongst other things appeareth.

And whereas also within the said two years, next after the ensealing of the said Letters patents; that is to say, the fourth day of J. in the said one and twentieth year of the raign of &c. the said R Z did nominate to the Right Honourable Sir W M. K ^r. then Chancellour of her Majesties said Exchequer, the foresaid Sir. T A. attainted of felony accor­ding to the forme in the said Letters patents specified. And wheras also the said 2000 Marks in the foresaid recognizance specified, were concealed from the late K. E. the 6. Q. M. and from our soveraign Lady the Qu. that now is. And wheras therupon also our said soveraign Lady the Queens Majestie that now is by her writ of (extend' fac') issuing out of her Majesties high Court of Chancery upon a certificate made in­to the said Court, by the clark of the statute for the time being, did command the Sheriff of the foresaid [Page 140] Countie of S. that by the oathes of good and lawfull men of this Bayliwick, he should diligently inquire what lands and tenements the foresaid WC had with­in his said Bayliwick, at the foresaid day of the date of the foresaid recognizance, or at any time after, and of what yearly value the same were of, and that hee should extend all the said lands and tenements, and should seize them to the use of her Majestie, to the end the same might be delivered to the foresaid R. until he should be fully satisfied of the said 2000 Markes according to the forme of the statute at Westminster, made for the recovery of such debts.

And whereas also afterwards the said Sheriff made returne into the said court of the said writ as follow­eth, viz. That the foresaid W C the said 17 day of M. was seized in his demeasne as of fee, of, and in the Mannors of T F &c. (recite all the land) with the appurtenances in the said county of S. and that the foresaid Mannors of T F &c. are worth, by the year in all issues above reprize, 15 l. and that the foresaid Mannors of C and D with the appurtenances &c. are worth &c. (ut antea) and that hee the said Sheriffe did by vertue of the same writ seize and take into her Majesties hands all the said Manors and other the premises whatsoever with the appurtenances, as by her Majesties said writ he was commanded, and that the foresaid W C had no other or more Mannors, lands, or tenements within the said countie, which might be extended for the said debt, or seized to the use of her Majestie, as by the return of the said writ, remai­ning upon the files of the said court of chancery, more at large appeareth.

And whereas also afterwards her Majestie by a writ of liberate issuing out of the said court of chan­cery, did command the Sheriff of the said countie of S that he should deliver unto the said R Z and his [Page 141] assigns, the foresaid lands, Manors, and tenements, and other the premises with the appurtenances, if according to the said extent he should receive them. To hold to him the said R Z and his assignes as his and their freehold, untill he should be satisfied the said sum of 2000 marks, together with his costs and charges, in that behalf reasonably sustained; which said Sheriffe afterwards returned, that he the third day of M &c. did deliver unto the said W C, atturney and assignee to the said R Z lawfully authorized, the said Mannors, lands, tenements, and other the pre­misses in the said County of S. with their appurte­nances, to hold to the said R Z and his assignes, as his and their free-hold until he or they should be ful­ly satisfied of the foresaid 2000 marks, together with his costs and charges in that behalfe reasonably su­stained, as also by the said writ and returne thereof remaining on the files of the said Court of Chan­cery also appeareth.

And wheras also the Qu. Majestie, by an other writ of extent, issuing out of the said high Court of Chan­cery, upon the certificate aforesaid, directed to the Sheriff of the county of Dorset, did command the said Sheriff of the said county of Dorset, that likewise by oaths and testimonies of good and lawful men of the said county, he should diligently inquire what lands and tenements the foresaid W C had within the said county of D. at the aforesaid day of the date of the foresaid recognizance, or at any time after, and for what yearly value the same were of. And that hee should seize to the use of her Majesty, all and sin­gular the foresaid Mannors, lands, and tenements, that they might be delivered to the said R Z, until hee should be fully satisfied of the foresaid debt of 2000 marks, according to the form of the statute at Westm. for the recovering of such debts, made and provided.

And whereas afterwards also the said Sheriffe made return of the said writ, in the said Court, that the fore­said W C the foresaid seventeenth day of March was seized in his demesne, as of Fee, of and in the Mannor of Ilond, with the appurtenances, and of and in &c. and that the foresaid Mannor &c. are worth by the yeare 26 l. &c. And that he had seized the said Mannor &c. and all other the premises, with the ap­purtenances, in the said County of D, to the use of her Majestie, as by the said writ he was commanded. And that the foresaid W C had no other Man­nors, Lands, or Tenements, within the said Countie which for the debt aforesaid, might be extended, or seized to the use of her Majestie, as by the return of her Majesties said writ, remaining up­on the Files in the Chancery, more at large appeareth.

And thereupon her Majestie, by her writ of liberate, did command the said Sheriffe of the said Countie of D, that he should deliver unto the said R Z, the foresaid Mannor of Ilond, with the appurtenances, and the &c. in the said Coun­tie of D, if according to the aforesaid extent he should receive them, To hold to him, and his assignes, as his Freehold, untill he should be fully satisfied of the foresaid debt, together with his costs and charges in that behalfe reasonably sustained.

And whereas also afterwards the said Sheriffe of the said Countie of D, did return into the said high Court of Chancery, That by vertue of her Majesties writ to him directed, upon the eighth day of A &c. he did deliver unto the said W G, Attorney to the said R Z, lawfully authorized, the said Man­nor of Ilond, and other the premises in the said Countie of D with their appurtenances, to hold to the said R Z, &c. (ut ante) as by the severall writs aforesaid, and the returnes of them remain­ing [Page 143] in the said High Court of Chancery, more at large appeareth, by reason whereof the said R Z, and W G or one of them, now is, and standeth seized of, and in all the premises with their appurtenances, accordingly.

Now the said Z, aliàs Alexander, and W G for di­vers good causes and considerations them there­unto moving, have demised, granted, and to farm letten unto the said T I, his executors and assignes, all his said Mannors, Lands, Tene­ments, and other the premises, with their appurte­nances (except alwaies to the said W G his execu­tors, &c. one tenement &c. in the said Countie of D) To have, and to hold all the said Mannors, lands, tenements, and other the premises with all and singu­lar their appurtenances, (except before excepted) unto the said T I his &c. from the feast day of the Annunciation of &c. for, and untill the full end & term of sixty yeares, from thence next ensuing and fully to be compleat, ended, and determined, if the said mannors, lands, and other hereditaments shal or ought so long to continue in extent, by force of the execution aforesaid, for the debt aforementioned.

Son and heire, and the other executor of the said B D of the other partie; That where the said B D did make his last Will and Testament in writing, bearing date &c. and thereof did constitute and make the said T and A his executours, and did in and by the same his last Will and Testament, give and devise unto the said A the now wife of R H the summe of one thousand pound of &c. amongst other things in the said Will mentioned. Of which said summe of one thousand pounds, the said R H and A his wife do acknowledge the receipt, and them­selves thereof well and truly satisfied, contented and paid, and thereof and of every part and parcell thereof do cleerly acquit and discharge the said T D his heires, executors and administrators and every of them by these presents. And where also the said B D did in and by his said last Will and Testament give and devise unto the said T D the sum of 1500. l. of &c. to be paid unto him when he should accomplish the age of one and twenty years, of which said summe of 1500 l. the said T D doth ac­knowledge the receipt accordingly, and himself ther­of well and truly satisfied, contented and paid, and thereof, and of every part and parcell thereof doth cleerly acquit and discharge the said R H and A his wife, and either of them their heires, exe­cutours and administrators and every of them by [Page 240] these presents.

And that if it should happen the said R to decease, before he came to the age of four and twenty years, being un­married at the time of his such decease before his age of 24 yeares, then he willed that the said porti­on of 300 l. and the increase thereof, defalking the maintenance of the said R in the mean time, should be and remaine to all his Sons then living, to bee equally divided amongst them, to bee paid at the accomplishment of their several ages of foure and twenty yeares.
