Bound to appear 'in the Court in the painted Chamber within the Pallace of Westminster'.

Summary of proceedings

Dr Parry acted as counsel for Bond and Dr Martin for Pomeroy. On 4 February 1640, before Lord Maltravers, Dr Parry was due to report proceedings on the plaintiff's commission.

Notes

Thomas Pomeroy was mentioned in the Visitation of Devon in 1620, but Humphrey Bond was not. He was possibly the brother of the royalist Sir Hugh Pomeroy.
