The Society’s MSS. Chiseldon, &e. 171 
July and September, 1582, matter between Richard Calley and Mrs. 
_ Blackwell, widow of a citizen, his mother-in-law. 
Our concluding notice of Michael Calley is derived from certain 
_ Chancery proceedings set in motion by him the year after his 
_ appearance in that court at the suit of Dame Ursula Walsingham. 
The suit relates to Highway, which manor, he alledged, had been 
settled upon him by his father, but which, as the defendant in her 
answer points out, then formed part of his mother’s jointure. The 
- descent of Michael from Ralph, and of Ralph from John Calley, is 
- stated :—
