MR. Woollaston in October 1697. came to an Agreement with one Mr. Thompson , to Hire of him Woodhall-Park , and other Lands in the County of Hertford ; being the Estate of one Philip Butler , Esq an Infant . He the said Thompson , being then Tenant to the Premisses , and was to Pay 60 l. per Annum Rent , besides some Venison and Rabbits ; and was to give the said Thompson Twenty Guineas to procure him a Lease of the said Premisses for Five Years . And in pursuance of the said Agreement , the said Mr. Woollaston entred upon the Premisses , and was thereof Possessed , and Paid all Parish Duties , and other Taxes and Charges in Keeping and Maintaining of the Deer all the Winter long , and also in Keeping and Repairing the House and Gardens : And that he made little or no Benefit or Advantage of the same , although in quiet Possession until the Sixth of July last ; being the last Day but one of the last Sessions of Parliament . At which time , when the Profit was to be made of the Premisses by the said Mr. Woollaston , then Mr. Thompson , Mr. Samuel Robinson , John Plummer , John Crane , Samuel Seagins , Joseph Biggs , John Crabb , Richard Nash , James Pendrid , Nicholas Bickerton , William Ansell , Thomas Waller , and Edmund Chambers , with divers others , came in a Riotous manner with Clubs , Staves , and other Weapons , when they knew Mr. Woollaston was Absent , and in the Service of the House the last Sessions of Parliament , and Entred the said Premisses , kept his Servants Prisoners all that Day and the next Night , and while they kept his Servants Prisoners , they went and Killed the Deer in the Park ; and then came and Entred the House with a great Rabble , and turned the said Mr. Woollaston's Servants out of Possession of the said House , and seized upon his , and his Servants Goods , and his Cattle in the Park , as also upon a Gentleman's Goods that was then in the House , a Friend of the said Mr. Woollaston ; and that in so Inhumane and Barbarous a manner , that they would not so much as leave a Bed for him or his Wife or Children to lie on : And likewise set on several Men to Mow down the Grass , pretending all this was for Arrears of Rent , whenas indeed there was no Rent due .
