Transcription by John O'Donnell.

Right honnorable and my singuler good lorde. Yt pleased your lo. of late to write your
letter vnto mr John Dolman (who in my fathers time tooke the paines to keepe
courtes vnder him for the honnor of Donnington, and doth now continewe to do the
like for me) and therein to send him a peticion exhibited vnto your lo. by one Ioane
wheeler widdowe, wherein she complaines that he hath wrongfully graunted a
reversion of a Copihold which she and her husband possessed, vnto one Thomas
Head, and hath refused to admitt her tennant vnto it, as by the custom, and by the
presentment of the hommage he ought to have don: Whereof your lo. required him
well to consider, and to do her iustice therein, that she might not have cause to
renew her complainte. For answere wherevnto, because the matter doth rather
concerne my father and my self, then him who was but a deputy in the office, I have
made bold to offer vnto your lop. a true relacion of the matter as it standes,
accordinge to the informacion I have receaved from him/Richard Wheeler somtime
husband to this petitioner, beinge tennant of this copihold, and havinge therein no
more but his owne life, with a possibilitie of a widdowes estate vnto his wife
accordinge to the custom of the mannour if she survived him, yt pleased your lo. to
write vnto my father, to graunte a reversion thereof for two lives vnto one Cicill: who
having the said graunte accordingly made vnto him, offered his Interest for a
reasonnable consideracion vnto the said Richard Wheeler. But the said Wheeler
havinge no children of his owne, would not deale with it him self, but gave his
consent that Thomas head her maties farmour of Winterborne, should buy the said
Cicills interest in it: who therevppon compounded with Cicill, and tooke a coppie
thereof in reversion to him selfe and Henry head his son. Richard Wheeler since is
dead: and his wife this peticioner, hath ever since inioyed her widdowes estate in the
said hold, accordinge to the custom, vntell the laste courte and law daye holden
aboute michellmas last past. At which courte, it was prooved and presented by the
hommage, & confessed by her self, that she was married to another husband and so
had bin divers yeeres. Wherevppon her widdowes estate beinge determined and
forfeited, by the custom of the mannour, and the next in the Coppy havinge right to
enter, the said Henry Head (who was next in the graunte) prayed to be admitted
tennant to the hold, and was admitted: as of right he ought to be, and without any
wronge to her, seinge she had forfeited her widdowes estate by her marriadge. And
whereas in her said complainte she pretends, that by the custom of the mannour, the
tennantes children ought of right to be admitted to their fathers holdes, and for want
of children the next of kinne, and no other, I assure your lo. there is neither any such
custom indeede, nor claimed by the tennants there. But the contrary is to be
prooved, by the continuall practice and graunts in all stewardes times, aswell by
warrant of letter from your lordeshipp and those which have held your place, as
otherwise by the stewardes themselves when the[y?] sawe occasion. Neither
indeede (in my poore opinion) can such a custom be affirmed and allowed, without
manifest preiudice to her matie, who thereby should be more restrayned in this
mannour, then common parsons are in their mannours of like tenure and custom.
But therein, for the time to comme, I submitte my selfe to be ordered accordinge to
your lops. good pleasure. In the meane time, I hope your lo. will not disadvow this
graunte to Cicill & from him to Head, beinge made by my father vppon your lops.
owne letter and commandement. And whereas she affirmeth, that divers of the
hommage did present that she had right to the hold, mr Dolman assureth me, and
requesteth me so to signifie vnto your lop., that it is vtterly vntrew. And so hopinge I
have sufficiently satisfied your lop. in this matter, with my humble duty to your

honnor, and my prayers to god for your good health, and long continewance in all
honnor & happines, I humbly take my leave. this xxvi of December 1594.

Your Lops. most bounden and
ready to be commaunded
Henry Nevill
