Warrant under the royal sign manual to Sir Heneage Finch,
Attorney General, and Matthew Pinder, one of the Six Clerks
of Chancery. Said Attorney did in Michaelmas term 1671,
exhibit an English bill or information in the Exchequer
Chamber, setting forth that by a contract made 1627, Dec. 12,
between Charles I of the one part and Valentine Saunders,
George Evelyn, Paul Dewes, William Pennyman, Robert
Henly and James Morley, the then Six Clerks of Chancery, of
the other part, they agreed to lend said King 10,000l. on the
security of several fee farm rents to be conveyed to them, one
of which was a rent of 150l. then and still issuing out of the
park of Langley Marish, co. Bucks, reserved upon the grant to
Sir John Kidderminster, dated 1626. Dec., with the equity to
the King to have same reconveyed on repayment of said
10,000l. Said rents were accordingly so conveyed to said Six
Clerks, 1627-8, Mar. 15, who have since sold said fee farm of
150l. per an. to Mathew Pinder or to others in trust for him
But the King is willing to redeem said fee farm rents and particularly
the said rent of 150l. per an. Said Pinder answered
said bill and witnesses were examined and said cause was heard
in the Exchequer Chamber, Feb. 15 last, and a decree made
that on payment of 1,600l. to said Pinder any time before the
first day of next term he should reconvey said rent of 150l.
per an. to the King or his nominee. In consideration of the
sum of 1,600l. paid to said Pinder by Henry Seymour, one of
the Grooms of the Bedchamber, said Pinder is hereby directed
to convey said fee farm of 150l. per an. to Sir Joseph Seymour,
Bernand Greenvile, one of the Grooms of the Bedchamber,
John Lawrence of Clifford's Inn, gent., and Charles Daw, of
St. Giles in the Fields, Midd., to their use for ever [in trust
to convey same as follows]. This order to be enrolled in the
King's Remembrancer's office and a great seal to be prepared
for a grant of said fee farm and of the King's right therein or
in or to the park of Langley Marish to said Henry Seymour to
the use of him and his heirs for ever.
Together with :—Copy of the said decree of the Exchequer Court
dated 1672-3, Feb. 15 : the recital of the pleadings yielding
the following additional information : viz. the said Six Clerks
in the eighth year of Charles I. sold two of the said rents,
viz. one rent of 120l. per an. issuing out of the manor of Moor,
co. Herts., to Christopher Favell, Thomas Young and William
Kingscott for 1,500l. and the other of 134l. 14s. 6½d. per an.
out of the manor of Rickmansworth in Pinchfield [Pynesfield],
Herts., to Thomas Fotherly, Philip Progers and John Andrewes
and their heirs for 1,684l. 1s. 9¼d. ; amounting together to
3,184l. 1s. 9¼d. and therewith discharged so much of the said
debt of 10,000l. for which they stood engaged ; and that
several of the said Six Clerks dying or surrendering their
places others were admitted in their rooms and they so surrendering
and the executors of them so dying were discharged
of the bonds wherein they stood engaged and their successors
became engaged for such part as was not satisfied by sale of the
said two rents : which course was successively continued for
many years and many changes before defendants were admitted
as Six Clerks : that in 1639 the defendant herein [Pindar]
was admitted a Six Clerk upon surrender of Mr. Carne and to
disengage him in 1640 defendant, with the rest of the then
Six Clerks, became bound in several bonds amounting to
6,800l. principal money : that in 1643, upon Mr. Colchester's
death, the said contract and letters patent came to defendant's
lands : that in the beginning of the troubles some of the
tenants out of which the said rents were issuing did not pay
the said rents, they being sequestered by order of the Committee
for Sequestration, which [order] was afterwards discharged,
and the said Six Clerks were permitted to receive
them again after great expense and trouble and long interruption :
that defendants were forced to make great deductions
for taxes, &c. : that defendant claims the rent of 150l. per an.
in the bill mentioned as a purchaser under the contract and
letters patent dated 1649, Dec. 10, made between Robert
Henly, the surviving grantee, and Sir Andrew Henly, his son
and heir, and Lawrence Maydwell, Sir John Marsham, Edward
Penruddock and the defendant, on the one part, and John
Combes and Walter Smith, trustees of the said defendant, of
the other part : that defendant believes rest of the said rents
were sold about the same time to other purchasers and that
the rent of 150l. [in question] was afterwards conveyed to
himself by his trustees in satisfaction of that part of the debt
which he paid with his own money, &c., which, in the whole,
amounted to 2,050l., which was above a year's purchase more
than it was sold for to the contractors : that defendant denies
all equity of redemption after two years.
