Bill 12 April 1665, by Sir Edward Alston of East Barnet, co.
John Brookes Hertford. v, Richard Hardy, Henry Davy and
In the year 1652 Orator apprenticed his son Thomas to one Henry Davy of the city of London, merchant, giving Davy a bond in L1000 for his faithful service. Thomas served Davy for 3 years, and by his cares and industry very much increased the said Davy's estate, insomuch that Davy found him capable of managing his whole affairs, and about 1655 acquainted your Orator that he intended to send the said Thomas to Smyrna as his factor, and desired Orator to supply his said son with a sum of money to trade on his own account. Thomas managed his master's affairs at Smyrna for two years, and fell sick of the sickness whereof he died, appointing Richard Hardy of London, merchant, his trustee to manage his affairs. John Brookes, Davy's brother in law, was partner with the said Alston ; the defendauts conspire together with regard to settlement of said Thomas's estate.

without production of the papers in question.
