Viewing Event Record: Requests, Woodford vs Holland: Holland's answer

Abstract

Aaron Holland's answer to Thomas Woodford's 1619 suit against him in the Court of Requests denies the accusations brought by Woodford, and asks for a dismissal of the case because it is meant only to harass Holland. Holland lists the previous times Woodford has brought suit against him and lost, and denies any collusion with Philip Stone or his laywer, Ralph Wormleighton. He obtained a release of suits from Stone by honest means, and his lawyer at the time was Clement Goldsmith.
