The petition of William Davyes for the continuance of the
passage out of the churchyard into the Falcon Court and of his shop
built in the churchyard is refused, and the order made at the last
parliament shall stand, that the wall shall be made from the church
to the new building of the Middle Temple, and a fair gate made there
for keeping of the churchyard " in several," if the Middle Temple
will join in the charge.
Order for Mr. Blake to forbear proceeding with his new
building in the Inner Temple Lane till order shall be taken if it is to
the prejudice of Edmund Prideaux, a bencher, by stopping the
light from his chamber, being one of the best chambers of the House.
Award of the committee appointed to inquire into the controversy
between Baron Sotherton and Sir John Crompton, whereby
Sotherton is said to have the right to a chamber in Crompton's
Buildings.
PARLIAMENT held On 13 October, 9 James I., A.D. 16I I, before GEORGE
WYLDE, WILLIAM TOWSE, RICHARD BROWNELOWE, EDMUND
PRIDEAUX, GEORGE CROKE, and others. ROGER DALE,
treasurer.
Special admission of Walter Blunte, son and heir of Sir George
Blunte of Soddington, in the county of Worcester, at the request of
George Wylde, an ancient bencher and double reader, whose
daughter the said Walter has married.
Whereas Lancelot Lowther, an utter barrister and solicitor to
the Queen, and Richard Holman, a fellow, have been at great charges
in the erection of a new building in the churchyard in the place
where an old building stood which was prejudicial to one of the lights
of the church, by which new building one of the lights is restored to
the round walk in the church, and whereas their staircase was thrice
pulled down and now remaineth, so that they have no convenient
passage to their chambers, they pray they may have two assignments
of their rooms and liberty to erect their stairs. It is therefore
ordered that George Wylde, John Hare, Richard Brownelowe,
Towse, George Croke, Prideaux, the treasurer, and John Harris be
requested to view the place for erecting the stairs and the request for
assignments to be considered.
