HAMPSTON v. ALSTON.
Bill, 28 May 1666, by Sir Thomas Hampson of Taplow, co, Bucks. bart., and Dame Marie his wife, Nicholas Glynn of Glynnford, co. Cornwall, esq. and Gertrude his wife, v. Sir Edward Alston of East Barnet, Kt, and William Alston, esq. his son.
The complainants Marie and Gertrude are daughters of Anthony Dennys of Orleigh in tbe parish of Buckland Brewer, Devon, esq. deceased, who died about 24 years since, leaving as his daughters and coheirs the said Marie and Gertrude, and one Elizabeth, afterwards wife of the defendant William Alston.
By deed of 6 August 1656 the said Elizabeth settled her third share of the Dennys estate on the said William, but the settlement was to become void if her marriage portion of L3,500 were punctually paid to Sir Edward Alston.
The marriage was solemnized about 20 August 1656, and Sir Edward settled an annuity of L400 on the said Elizabeth. No part of her portion was paid, whereby the above mortgage on her third became forfeit.
Sir Thomas Hampson and his wife, and Robert Alston and others, previously sued the complainant Gertrude with regard to the division and settlement of the property, in this court.
Sir Edward believes that his son has sold the reversion expectant of part of said mortgaged estate which will be his after Sir Edward's death.
Sir Edward and his son and the said Elizabeth, have all joined in granting leases etc. of the property.
