HAYNES v. ALSTON.
Bill, 11 February 1650/1;, by Elizabeth Heynes, widow, administratrix of Katherine Alston, late of London, widow,
deased, her late sister, v. Edward Alston and Elizabeth his wife, John Coleman, Elizabeth Parker, Richard Kyng and . . . . . Pippyn.
The said Katherine Alston demised to her son in law Edward Alston of Bramford, co. Suffolk, gent. certain of her lands at a yearly rent of L. . . . . And having occasions of business at Bramford and Ipswich, did in the summer of 1649 take a lodging at Ipswich, and died there in October following.
The defendants have got into their possession part of the personal property of the deceased, for recovery of which the suit is lodged.
The answer of Edward Alston (in parts illegible) acknowledges that the deceased demised unto him tenements held of the manor of Lowetofts in Bramford. On the death of Katherine, Elizabeth Parker, who kept the house where she lodged, sent for defendant to take care for the burial ; which he did, and did see her buried as was fitting a woman of her quality and condition, and better than she ever merited in her lifetime.
There was some old linen etc in the place which he received, but he has disbursed far more than the value thereof.
