Viewing Event Record: Star Chamber, Samwell vs Langley et al: The Woodliffes reply

Abstract

The Woodliffes reply to Richard Samwell's complaint. Their response gives details of the lease and the related arrests. They say neither the great yard nor the backyard were demised to Samwell, but only transitory access to and from these. They note that multiple offenses merit multiple arrests, and complain that Samwell has had Oliver Woodliffe arrested for trespass in the King's Bench as he was going to see his lawyer.
