B. appearing in the same Court before us in the upper Bench at Westminster, the said C. D. there made default, for which in the same Court it was considered by the same Court, that the said A.B. should have return of the goods and chattels aforesaid, whereup∣on we commanded you by our VVrit, that without delay you cause to be returned the goods and chattells aforesaid, to the said A.B. and not deliver them at the complaint of the said C.D. without our Writ that shall make express mention of the said Judgement, and in such manner, as that Precept should be executed, you should certifie to us in the upper Bench at Westminster, in the eight dayes of the Purification of the blessed Virgin Mary last past, and you at that day did return to us, that before the coming to you of that Writ, the goods and chattels aforesaid, were convayed away to places to you altogether unknown, so that you would not cause those goods and chattels to be returned to the said A.
