TJ on 6 Feb 26 Charles II [1674] at Winge by his writing obligatory sealed with his seal obliged himself to HS in £20 to be paid when required. TJ although often required has not paid, to a loss to HS of £20.
On Friday after the morrow of Holy Trinity, up to which day TJ had licence to respond, came HS by his attorney and TJ by Humfrey Sheldon his attorney, who said he was not informed of any response. It was considered that HS should recover the debt and 23s 4d damages. TJ was amerced.
In Easter Term last at Westminster came Henry Sumner esq sheriff of Bucks by John Marshe his attorney and brought his bill against Thomas Norkett of Winslow “inholder” in custody of the Marshalsea on a plea of debt, that he should render to him £20 which he owes & unjustly withholds. TN on 6 Feb 26 Charles II [1674] at Winge by his writing obligatory sealed with his seal, now shown here in court, acknowledged that he was bound to HS in £20 to be paid when required. The said John [sic] although often required has not yet paid and refuses, to a loss for HS of £10.
On this day, the Friday after Holy Trinity [19 June] came HS by his attorney. And TN although solemnly summoned did not come or say anything to preclude HS’s action, so HS was undefended. Therefore it was considered that HS should recover his debt and 3s 4d damages and costs. TN amerced.
