Notes - Henry Arthur, late of Standford Bingley, in Cunty Berks, complained thatabout August, 1630, he took into his service Jane Cowper, spinster,agreeing to pay her 40s a year, although she was so sickly that the otherservants were compelled to do almost all her work. Afterwards her aunt,Katherine Smyth, who then lived in the house where Henry dwelled, lefther a legacy of 20 pounds. After a great deal of trouble, Henry got themoney and in return she lent it to him for a year. Henry returned it toher and her husband, William Batcheler, except a small sum, which Henrykept back for her food because she had required a special diet while shewas living in Henry's house after she received the said legacy.
The said Jane responded that Henry borrowed 4L from her, and that she inher turn borrowed 40s from Margery Pryne, daughter of Mrs. Pryne. She waspersuaded by Henry's Landlord, Richard Smith, to lend the said 20 poundsto Henry. William Batchelor added that he married Jane Cowper in October,1632, and afterwards demanded this money from Henry, who only repaid partof it.
