Description: | William Farmery of Thavies Inn, London, gent., to Heneage Lord Finch ...
Lord High Chancellor of England against Thomas Barlow DD, bishop of Lincoln.
This sets forth:
Farmery's appointment for life as Receiver General of the revenues of the bishopric, 15 July 1674;
his appointment as keeper of the house, manor and park of Buckden, Huntingdonshire, 20 Nov 1674;
his appointment as sole executor in trust for others under the will of Bishop Fuller who died 22 Apr 1675;
purchase by Bishop Barlow of brewing vessels and other effects at Buckden from Farmery as the bishop's executor;
Farmery continued to receive part of the revenues for a year and a half but since his salary was small and as Bishop Barlow employed others to receive part of the revenues he decided to surrender his patents which he did, adding a statement of account by which it appeared the bishop was in his debt, Jan 1777.
further goods left in the possession of Bishop Barlow were 30 brace of swans and 100,000 bricks for which he had not paid;
Bishop Barlow brought an action in Common Law against Farmery to recover all the money received by him;
Farmery appended a copy of his account to Bishop Barlow to this petition.
Endorsement (in hand similar to /34 above): "Mr. Farmery was receiver general of the rents of the bishoprick of Lincoln constituted by bishop Fuller and also keeper of the house manor and park of Buckden by the same bishop's constitution This bill was preferred in Chancery by Mr. Farmery against bishop Barlow upon accounts between them". | Subjects: | Diocese Of Lincoln Religion & Beliefs | Temporal: | 2 May 1681? | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
