Anne Farrant replies to John Newman and William Hunnis's bill of complaint. She describes the terms of the original lease, and explains that following her husband's death she sublet the property to Newman and Hunnis at a yearly rent of twenty nobles. They have frequently been late in their payments, and are currently in arrears £6 13s 6d; Farrant describes the hardships she has suffered as a result of their delinquency. They have recently sublet the property to Henry Evans, citizen and scrivener of London, since which time she has received no rent from them. She has furthermore been put to great trouble in making repairs for which Newman and Hunnis were meant to be responsible. And now William More is negotiating to have the lease conferred on another party, who is presently suing Henry Evans; Evans is likely to lose the case. She asks that she not be hindered her proceedings against Newman and Hunnis.
