Case for the parties and evidence of witnesses in the disputes of Sir Wm Robinson complainant, with John Wells, defendant 1635, and Peter Wells, defendant, 1637.

Relates to the messuage (Carter's Farm) and arable lands in Clifton had been leased for 31 years by letters Patent of Elizabeth to Sir Edw. York, Kt., who had assigned them to the dft. for a term long since expired. At the time of his lease there was a barn of 2 bays which was extremely old and rotten. There was no growing timber for its repair and it was of little use as he had enclosed most of the arable land, so he allowed it to fall down through the decays of the main timber. His term had expired 3 or 4 years, since, but he had continued as tenant under the complt. At an increased rent of £20 p.a. the old rent being about 44s. He had doubled the value of the arable lands. He was also seised for life of another messuage and lands (Well’s Farm), formerly belonging to St Mary’s Abbey and granted by Letters Patent of 25 Nov. 32 Eliz (1589) to Thos Wells, the dft’s. uncle, for the lives of the said Thos. and Jane, his wife, and himself. Two barns of 2 or 3 bays each formerly stood on this land during the lives of Thos. and Jane Wells, but were totally decayed. The dft. came into possession 2 or 3 years since, both barns having fallen down. He had preserved the timber unused. Part of the messuage which was in great decay before his entry had fallen down but he had rebuilt it at great expense. He denied that he had pulled down any barns or used or disposed of the timber to his own advantage and he had not promised the plt. to build any barns. He had not cut down 40 ash trees, nor any others except such as were necessary for fencing and firing, nor had he committed any waste. He had not exchanged any of the plt’s lands nor annexed them to his won. He denied that the barns were of the alleged value and that the plt. was unable to pay the rent to the Crown as a result of his actions. Subscribed (in Latin). The defendant was sworn on 17 Jan 10 Chas. (1635). Jo. Bisshop, T. Atkinson. Paper. 14 sheets.

He reaffirmed that the dft. had pulled down the barns and carried away the timber to his own land or otherwise disposed of it. He had allowed the dwelling houses to fall down and had converted the timber and chambers thereof to his own use, and had promised to repair the hoses and erect new barns. The complt. denied that the premises were in decay when the dft. entered them. The dft. had not improved the freehold ---. (p.3 missing). He had taken 40 ash trees in addition to all necessary “boots” (allowances for timber for repairs and fuel) and has sold some, used other himself and committed waste in the other woods. Since the suit commenced, the dft. had cut down 4 ash trees worth 6s 8d each and taken them away. He had exchanged and enclosed his land in the manor whereby the complt. Could not distinguish which lands belonged to him nor for which lands the rent was payable to the Crown. And had enclosed his lands with those which were part of the manor in an attempt to disinherit the complt. of the latter. the dft. might have had a lease of the premises for 31 years. But this had expired 6 years ago, since when the dft. had allowed the messuage to become ruinous and had pulled down the barn an cut down trees. All improvements made by the dft. had been solely for his own advantage. Paper. 9 sheets (p.3 missing).

He was seised of the manor of Clifton including a messuage called Carter’s or Wells’s Farm and 2 closes of pasture thereunto belonging , called Eshtree Close and Moorebroate Close in Clifton. John Wells of Clifton held them for several years of Queen Elizabeth, paying £3 9s 2d p.a. rent, until the rent and reversion were granted to the complt., to whom he then paid the rent. His lease expired on 25 Mar. 1629/30, but he continued as tenant at will to the complt, paying £20 p.a. rent. John Wells died on 27 Feb. last. The complt. and his tenants had then enjoyed the premises until 20 Apr last, 13 Chas I (1637) when Peter Wells, having no claim to the closes, entered them and forcible expelled the complt. and drove out his tenants’ animals, whereby he, Sir Wm Robinson, had suffered a loss of £20.

He did not know that John Wells had a lease of Carter’s or Wells’s Farm. The 2 closes did not belong to the said farm. The dft. said that John wells was siesed in demesne as of fee in a farm in Clifton called North Chantrie and the lands belonging to it, which he purchased from the Crown and for which he paid £4 p.a. rent. John Wells had enclosed the land belonging to North chantry, including Ashtree Close and Moorebrote Close, an had enjoyed them for 40 years. He, Peter Wells, son of the said John wells, had succeeded to the premises.

John Wells enjoyed Eshtree Close and Moorebroate Close as part of Carter’s or Wells’s Farm, with the exception of the Bull Butts and Common balks which lay in the Sandhill Closes. That the closes were part of the said farm was shown in a survey of the manor made several years previously and in a document written by John Wells, which the dft. had in his custody. The complt. said that besides the grounds in the 2 closes which belonged to Carter’s or Wells’s Farm, there were in Ashtree Close certain parcels of ground which before enclosure were common balks and certain parcels called Bullbutts and in Marebroate Close several common balks of which he was seised as Lord of the Manor. The rent paid by John Wells was for the closes and the common balks and the Bullbutts as well as the rest of the farm. He denied that John Wells enjoyed the closes as part of his farm called North Chantrie.
