Vid. fol. 264

The humble Petⁿ of Richard Smith Attorney to Richard Wool-
man Sheweth
That whereas the s^d Rich: Woolman bought a Parcell of Land,
Lying on the North side of Roade Riuer being one hund^d & fifty
Acres, in the County of Anarundell, of Robert Harwood, & hath
long since satis fyed him for it, Soe it is, th^t the s^d Rich: Woolman
demanded seuerall times of the s^d Harwood to make good his tytle
& giue him such assurance thereof, as Law hath prouided in such
Cases. The w^ch the s^d Harwood hath not yett done, but doth still
obstinately refuse to giue the s^d Woolman any assurance of the s^d
Land, w^ch hee long since hath bought & payd for. Yo^r Pet^r humbly
therefore prayeth, th^t yo^u will take it into yo^r serious Consideraons,
& graunt such releife, as Law & equity hath prouided in such Cases,
w^th all Cost, charge & dammage. And yo^r Pet^r as in duty bownd shall
pray &c :
The deft acknowledged th^t he sould th^t Land to the plf & re-
ceaued some satisfaction therefore; but the iust summe he now
remembers not, & as to the assurance demanded of him hee cannot
tell what is ment thereby, hee hauing deliuered him his tytle.
