Action rack-rent for a year, but was served with process a against Poor week after ; and '' if he shall be debarred of liberty ta ' ' grind he shall be utterly undone, being a verie pore man." They all declared that ''this is a very ancient that there was mill (claiming soke custom of its own) ; a water corn mill where this mill now standeth time out of mind ; and always the owners thereof have carried corn there out of the city on horseback and sometimes in carts, and taken toll without hindrance till now." Charyles had himself, as an employe,, carried corn there for seventeen or eighteen years past. They denied they " have or ever have had in their possession any of the grants, writings, or evidences concerning Dee Mills, or other things mentioned in the bill as belonging thereto ; and humbly crave this honourable Court that, pending the full hearing of the cause, they may not be deprived of the use and custom of fetching and grinding corn, for they sit upon a great rack-rent for the mill." The result of the action could only be permission to continue their trade so long as they abstained from grinding for citizens of Chester. 31. Parliament- 31. Francis Gamull, who hitherto, indeed, had ^^^ ^j^^aT^^^' enjoyed little of the dignified ease popularly assigned 1646. to the lordly miller of the Dee, was destined, how- ever, to experience still further and more serious trouble.

Truly, when the end came, he had done enough to render himself a marked man among the Parliamentarians, and in due course ensued the inevitable result. Meanwhile, his discomfiture was the opportunity of the citizens ; and these, with the mayor at their head, appealed to the Commonwealth for the abolition of the causeway and the mill. In various letters on this subject (still existing in the city archives) passing between the mayor and the parliamentary representatives of Chester is fully evidenced the determination of the
