3 Feb. ⟨1619.⟩ Proceedings in an Exchequer case between William Cartwright , Richard Chaplin , Richard Robinson , on behalf of the parish of Norton, complainants, and William Warde, clerk, defendant. Defendant had procured a decree from the Barons that he should receive all tithes and offerings in the parish of N⟨orton⟩ until the parishioners recovered them by due process of law (which they were at the time attempting). They refused to pay and he prosecuted them for contempt. The parishioners alleged an elaborate ‘modus decimandi’, except for Ch. Ch. and their tenants who compounded with the owners of the tithe. Judgment for William Warde , who is to restore all that he had received beyond the ‘modus’, but may first subtract his costs. There is a note that this will be found ‘in libro ordinac’ sive decret’ de termino S. Hillarii a° 17 James f. 174 Scacc’ remanent’ et ibidem in custodia rememoratoris Regis existent’.
