THE CASE OF THOMAS ROWNEY Gent. Executor of EDWARD TWYFORD Gent. In trust for the said TWYFORD's Children .

THE said Edward Twyford about Michaelmas Term 1669 , being aged ; infirm and indebted to several persons , Agrees to sell the Mannor of North-Moor , with the Appurtenances , in the County of Oxford , to Edmond Warcupp Esq ; ( now Sir Edmond Warcupp Knight , ) for payment of his Debts , and raising Portions for his Children . And Articles of Agreement were made between them therein ; At which time there were Suites depending in Twyford's Name , touching the Enclosing of two large Commons part of the said Mannor and which since the Purchase , are inclosed accordingly .

Sir Edmond Warcupp at the first Discourse , much prest to have a Particular , but Mr. Twyford . being then in London , Declared he was not able to make one , but however , at Sir Edmond Warcupp's Importunity , Did as well as he could , make a Particular , and delivered it to Sir Edmond Warcupp , By which the Premisses at twenty years Purchase ( which is the usual Rate in that Country ) came to 9600 l. But Sir Edmond Warcupp refusing to purchase at those Terms , the Particular was wholly laid aside , and the Parties agreed by the Lump ; and Sir Edmond Warcupp was onely to give 6500 l. for the Purchase ; so much having been before offered for it by others .

Nevertheless , when the Articles came to be Sealed , Sir Edmond Warcupp had Annexed the said Particular thereto , and had also incerted a Covenant into the Articles , that Twyford should make good the said Particular , both as to the quantity and quality . But Twyford positively refused to Seal the Articles , until Sir Edmond Warcupp promised that no other use should be made of the said Particular , other than to find out the purchased Lands .

The Articles being thus Sealed , the Conveyances were for some time respited at Sir Edmond Warcupp's desire , lest the Suits then depending , touching the said Inclosures should abate .

But the Conveyances being afterwards Sealed , and the Purchase Money not paid , Twyford in 1673 , Exhibited his Bill in Chancery against Sir Edmond Warcupp to have his Purchase Money paid , To which the said Sir Edmond Warcupp put in a very long Answer , and also for vexation , Exhibited a long cross Bill against the said Twyford , to have an Allowance for pretended Defects in the Particular , and for the Charges of Enclosing the said Commons which were agreed to be done at his own Charge : And several Witnesses were Examined in the Case to Twyford's great Charge . Sir Edmond Warcupp ( who was a priviledged person in Chancery ) endeavouring by the said long Bill , Answer , and Depositions , to disable the said Twyford from prosecuting his said Suit ; who had no other Estate to pay his Debts , or to maintain , or provide for himself and seven Children than what was in Sir Edmond Warcupp's hands .

That the said Twyford at last by the Assistance of Friends brought the said Cause to Hearing in Hillary Term 1675 , and obtained a Decree for the Payment of the Arrear Purchase-Money , but before the said Decretal Order was drawn up , the said Twyford died , having made the said Rowney his Executor in Trust for his Children .

That Sir Edmond Warcupp entred a CAVEAT against the Probate of the said Will , and also Moved against the Inrolling of the said Decree , but the Will being proved , and the Decree Inrolled , he after Exhibits a Bill of Review against the said Rowney of 120 sheets of Paper , and assigned fifteen Errors , which upon a long Debate by Council were over-ruled about eight years since .

That ever since the Over-ruling the said Errors , the said Rowney hath been labouring to bring Sir Edmond Warcupp to an Account before the Master , and to that purpose hath taken out above 60 Warrants , and served Sir Edmond Warcupp therewith , but cannot yet get the Account stated .

That Sir Edmond Warcupp hath endeavoured to prove Payment of the Purchase Money by several mistaken Acquittances , which being disallowed by the Master , Sir Edmond Warcupp for further delay hath Appealed from the said Decree to the House of Peers .

That the said Rowney never received one penny of the Estate of the said Twyford , but hath expended above 300 l. in the prosecuting of the said Suit on the behalf of the Poor Children .

That there is at least 1500 l. of the Purchase Money besides Interest since Sealing the said Articles , in the hands of the said Sir Edmond Warcupp , and the Poor Children of the said Twyford want Bread .
