Refers to their case being tried at
Monmouth Assizes before Baron Treavor, and to the bringing
in by the jury of a verdict against them. The case is one of
ejectment, and he provides full details, together with the names
of persons mentioned in the course of the proceedings. These
include Arnold, Sir Nicholas Arnold, Sir William Morgan and his
son, and two lawyers, Mr Atkyns and Mr Bolstrede.—Undated. Holograph. 2½ pp. (General 75/25.) |

| John Delahay to Mr Hyde. | ||||
| 1632, July 24. |
In his previous letter the week before he had
informed Hyde of the judgment passed against them at the
Monmouth Assizes, "upon faulse sweareinge of one or twoe and
beinge deceyved by the jurie and the gentlemen that I dyd relye
uppon to be ffirme to my Lord Chamberleyne, ffor one of the
jurie, Sir William Morgans sonnes man, Mr Thomas Morgans man
beinge foreman, dyd leade all the reste and was reddye to give a
verdict before he had hearde his evydence, who Mr Arnold did
labouer unto, as I hearde". Criticizes the judge, Baron Treavor,
"whoe in my conscience dyd not understand the cause nor the
materiall poyntes thereof". Suggests that the Earl of Salisbury
should approach the Lord Keeper on the matter and complain
of the wrong done to him. As to the perjury committed at the
trial, "Sergeant Barkley ys of opinion unles my lo: will take a
course to punishe faulse swearers that he wilbe sworne out of
all he hathe in thys countrye." Declares that it is less costly
and more effectual to prosecute and get them convicted at the
Council [? of the Welsh Marches] than in the Star Chamber. If
Hyde intends to send him an answer, "I have intreated one of
my lo: of Canterburies men, one Mr Thomas Morgan, to call for
a letter at your lodgeinge and to sent yt me by the carryers of
Hereford whoe lyes [sic] at the Kinges Head nere Carter Lane".—
