Notes

The court act books give the forenames of the parties, and the names of the proctors and record that the plaintiff won. The defendant’s proctor immediately appealed to York, but no appeal papers have been traced (EDC 1/21 f. 23v). The costs claimed totalled 95s 6d and they were taxed at 26s 8d (EDC 1/21 f. 31v).
