Communicated by Mr. James Waylen, 825 
William Hurman, of the one part; and Henry Lord Arundel of 
Wardour, son and heir of Thomas Lord Arundel, and Anne and 
Katharine, daughters of Thomas Lord Arundel, of the other part ; 
it was agreed that an annuity of £120 a year, besides a further 
sum of £3000 in ready money should be paid to each of the two 
Ladies, Anne and Katharine, aforesaid, to be raised out of the manors 
of Anstey in Wilts; Melbury-Osmund, and Margaret Marsh, in 
Dorset ; Clist and Limbury, in Devon; and Allowinshaw, in Som- 
erset. But by a codicil to his will the late Lord Arundel directed 
that out of those same estates the sum of £1500, due on a mortgage, 
should first be paid to Sir John Penruddocke, and that the bequest 
to his daughters should be simply £4000 each. Francis Cornwallis, 
of Beeston, in Norfolk, Esq., having married the Lady Katharine, 
afuresaid, was anxious at once to establish his claim to her jointure 
of £4000, but sequestration and the expenses of the war long 
stood in his way, till, losing all patience, he commenced (some time 
after the war was brought to a conclusion) a suit in Chancery 
against Henry, now Lord Arundel, and against Robert Hyde and 
William Hurman, the two surviving trustees of the will, in order 
to recover the amount. 
“Charles Cornwallis, of Rock in the county of Worcester maketh oath—That 
he being desired by his brother Mr. Francis Cornwallis to serve or shew your 
order of 15 Dec. 1652 unto Mr. Hurman one of the two surviving trustees, the 
said Mr. Hurman, after sight and reading thereof, declared he could do nothing 
in it, the power being taken out of his hands by the said Order. He had already 
offered land to sell, but knew not where to get purchasers. The manor of Anstey 
had long since been conveyed and settled for the portion of Mistress Ann Arun- 
del, whose husband receives the rents, and the trustees have a full discharge of 
the said portion.” 
‘A petition of Francis Cornwallis to the Committee for compounding, dated 
17 August, 1653, Sheweth—that the manor of Horningsham and other lands in 
Wilts having been granted by William Arundel Esq. deceased to the petitioner 
and otkers,—which lands being under reference for the proving of their title, 
your petitioner prays your Order addressed to the Committee for Glostershire to 
take the proof that shall be produced, that Mr. Dutton did lend or become en- 
gaged for six thousand pounds or more for the said William Arundel ;—That upon 
that consideration, and no other trust, was that grant made. And the said Mr. 
Dutton hath not received any satisfaction for the said money or engagement, and 
that he hath not re-conveyed or released the same.” [Zndorsed] ‘‘ Referred.”
