Abstract

Oliver Woodliffe sues Richard Langley over Francis Langley's forfeiture of the first bond for the balance owing on the Boar's Head. Woodliffe testifies that, according to an agreement made 12 November 1599, Richard Langley was to act as guarantor for the bond. When called upon to pay the £200 due, however, Langley refused. Woodliffe estimates the resulting damages to himself at £40. Woodliffe denies Langley's claim that he paid £100 on 2 November 1600.
