Viewing Event Record: Chancery, Francis and Richard Langley vs Woodliffe: the Court refers the suit to Master Hunt

Abstract

A court order dated 20 May 1601 gives further details of Richard and Francis Langley's suit against Oliver Woodliffe. Woodliffe's counsel argues that Woodliffe's suits in common law for the Langleys' failure to pay the first bond due for their lease of the Boar's Head should be allowed to proceed. Woodliffe's counsel was unable to convince the court, which ordered the matter referred to Master Hunt, and the suits at common law stayed.
