Sampforde and others.] This is an exemplification, 10th May, 8 Elizabeth [1566], of a decree in Chancery in the suit brought by William Cardroe of Cerne, merchant, against Richard Sampforde, George Golde, and Symon Golde. Richard Sampforde, of Ceme, yeoman, was seised in fee of three closes of land, meadow and pasture, called Rodehill, in the parish of Minterne, and of a copse or " springe of woode," with the ground and soil thereof, about 4 acres, in the parish of Hermitage, and divers other lands, etc., under the will of Nicholas Sampforde, his father, for term of years, and to the use of Elizabeth and Mary, daughters of the said Nicholas, and for their education and maintenance. And he, being so seised, about 3 years past agreed to convey the premises to the complainant, William Cardrowe, for 100 marks, and received £56 13s. 4d. of that sum, the rest to be paid thereafter, and promised to make to the complainant a good and sufficient estate in the premises, in fee simple. This the defendant eventually refused to do, and also demised the premises to one, George Golde, " a man of great substance and wealthe and of no lesse frendes and power in the County," and to Simon Golde, his son, for 99 years, who have since cut down, etc., the hedges, quicksettes, and woods growing about the premises. The judgment of the Court was against Sampforde, who was ordered, 28th November, last, before the feast of the Purification following, to convey to the complainant the premises in fee simple, discharged of the lease made to George and Symon Golde, (or else repay him the £56 13s. 4d., together with £20 towards his charges) and receive from him £10, the residue of the 100 marks, and the " obligation " he had made to the plaintiff. Should the defendant refuse to perform either alternative, the possession of the lands would be assigned to the complainant by decree of the Court. And as it appeared that the defendant refused, it is ordered by decree of the Court 6th February, 8 Elizabeth [1566], that the complainant, his heirs and assigns, shall enjoy the premises. A commission is appointed to examine into and assess the waste and spoil done by the defendant and his assigns since 28th November last, which was alleged to have been great, the defendant to satisfy the plaintiff for the same.
