Description: | 1-4. Four examinations taken before Pury Cust as to what had passed between Mr Matthew Brown of Folkingham, attorney at law, and Mr Nathaniel Perkins with regard to drinking the King's health at William Lane's house in Folkingham.
The charge seems to be that Matthias Browne had drunk King James' health and said that King William was a second Oliver and maintained his crown by his sword. The evidence suggested that after a quarrel between the two men about the removal of some poor, Mr Brown said that "the said Mr Perkins and his maid ought to be removed as well as anybody else, and that he was an old creeping religious fellow and would be glad to heare him drink King James' health that he might run and informe against him". Another examinant alleged that Mr Brown did drink King James' health and stripped himself to his waistcoat and threatened Mr Perkins "because he refused to pledge that said health", also that Mr Brown did speak of King William as a second Oliver. The depositions were 3 to 1 in Mr Brown's favour.
5. With some 19th century notes on the depositions.
6. Also memorandum by G.S., 1940

1. Matthias Brown accused in 1694 of treasonable speech at Folkingham and described as attorney of Walcot is the same Brown who married Miss Walcot of Walcot.

3. That the first B.S. was his managing clerk there and succeeded to that office as land agent.
4. That B.S. afterwards moved to Folkingham and died there.
5. That B.S. the son built the office at Horbling early in the 19th century as more central and took an 80 years lease of "Red Hall" and "The Old Place".
