116. RICHARD QUATERMAYNS TO THOMAS STONOR [? 12 APRIL, 1471]

There is no clear indication of the date. Quatermayns had a lawsuit with John Barantyne as to the manors of Chalgrove and Haseley, of which he was feoffee under the will of Barantyne's father; this was between 1467 and 1472; during the same time John Parys was parson of Haseley (Early Chancery Proceedings, 31/440 and 39/246-8). Barantyne also had a dispute with Thomas Mylle or Mull as executor of Richard Drayton, with reference to a bond in surety for an annuity on the manor of Churchill; this was not earlier than 1469 (id. 45/98). This letter may belong to the same year as No. 118; if so it may probably be dated in 1471, when Good Friday was 12th April. From A.C., xlvi, 67.
