| Notes: | * On Scarlet's default. Appears he holds land in East Claydon as well. His 'mayd' had died in mysterious circumstances. Comments that few tenants pay rent 'at ye day' and some Abell tenants owe a year's back rent. His view is that Scarlet is 'honest but poor' and innocent of maid's death. Srv has 17 horses at grass and 8 more at house. |
