wife, the Lady St. John. His daughter, Mary, became the wife of 
Sir Henry Tichborne, Bart. 
Iu March, 1655, a petition was presented in behalf of Charles 
Arundel, an infant, by John Talbot, his guardian, to allow his title 
to certain lands, parcel of the manor of Hanley, in Dorset, coming 
to him as heir of his father, Charles Arundel, deceased (son of 
William, of Horningsham), but now sequestered for the delinquency 
of the occupant, Henry Butler, who hath no right or title thereunto. 
Here the legal ownership was the point in dispute. It was shewn 
that Thomas, Lord Arundel, in 1682, for one thousand pounds 
granted the portion now claimed by Butler to Thomas Shergoll, of 
Ebbesbourn, in Wilts, for ninety-nine years, if either of Shergoll’s 
three sons, William, Thomas, and Robert, should so long live, 
rendering £20 a year. Robert, the last survivor of the race, fell at: 
Edgehill, as ensign to Captain Loftus, in Colonel Essex’s Regiment ; 
but Butler, who held the estate under Shergoll, continued in pos- 
session, pretending belief that Robert was yet alive, though no one 
had ever seen him since the Battle of Edgehill, in 1642. As for 
the entire manor of Hanley, this, with some adjacent lands, had in 
1637 been demised by Thomas Lord Arundel, to Sir Thomas 
Reynell, Kt., Henry Sandys, and William Sandys, Esquires, for 
the use of himself during life, and after that to the payment of 
debts and of portions to Frances Countess of Shrewsbury, Margaret 
Lady Fortescue, and Clara wife of Humphrey Weld, the residue to 
be assigned as Lord Arundel should in his will direct. Now, the 
portions to the Ladies Clara and Margaret being paid, and Lord 
Arundel having by deed directed other portions to be given to the 
Lady Anne, wife of Cecil Lord Baltimore, Mary Lady Somerset, 
and Katharine Ewer, others of his daughters, and appointed that 
when all was paid the lands should be conveyed to William Arundel 
his second son, and to his heirs male, they came eventually to be 
claimed, as above shown, by Charles the grandson of this William. 
Lord Arundell had died in 1637, only two years after making the 
above disposition, upon which Sir Thomas Reynell and his co-trustees 
entered upon the manor, kept courts there, and took the rents and 
profits, among others £20 from Butler himself; and on the death
