Vid. the
Complaynt
fol. 143

To the hon^ble Josias ffendall Gouerno^r of Maryland. The answere
of Job Chandler to the Complaynt of Cap^t Thomas Cornewaleys in
Chancery. Humbly Sheweth That whereas he Sayth That uppon a
Tract of Land w^ch Co^ll Yardley tooke up att Portoback, & his seating
negros uppon itt Caused him to giue Creditt to the s^d Co^ll Yardley &
one Nathaniel Batt, w^ch was as the deft hath heard, for noe more
then a Watch of small price & ualue. In answere to the aboues^d
premises the deft sayth, That the Cred^r should haue done well to
haue made better Inquisition into his Deb^rs Creditt: ffor the Estate
w^ch the Cred^r w^th the Land, Sayth caused him to trust him, or them,
did solely & properly belong unto his Mother in Law, M^rs Sarah
Yardley, being purchased by her Estate, & the s^d Co^ll Yardley by a
Bill under his hand to his s^d mother in Law before his marriage,
was not to haue any claime or interest in, during her life. And
where the plf Sayth That after an Attatchm^t was serued That the
deft did by his instigaon stop the proceedings of the Attatchm^t.
The w^ch the deft utterly denyeth, being att th^t time att Annarundell,
& came not from thence in seauen or eight weeks after. And th^t
there were Two other Attatchm^ts att the same time serued, as this
Depon^t will make appeare: And th^t if the Attorney of the Complayn^t
had bene as carefull of his Interest, as they to whom the other Two
Attatchm^ts were graunted, hee knoweth not butt hee had had satis-
faction as well as they allthough to the best of this Defend^ts know-
ledge, the Attatchm^ts were graunted about Three weekes after the
Decease of the s^d Co^ll Yardley, w^ch hee supposeth illegall, The order
hauing past agst the s^d Co^ll Yardley long before in his life time.
And as Concerning his second Attatchm^t, graunted unto his Attorney
