History

 

The said Earl Richard, soon after his father's death, is understood to have sold and incumbered several of the estates, manors, &c., till at length, considerable sums in arrears being due to the college which could not be obtained, a bill, was in consequence filed in Chancery, and a decree of that court issued in 1637, charging all the estates, manors, &c., originally possessed by the said Earl Robert at the time of his death with the payment of a proportionate part from each to make up the sum of £330; as is set forth in a written particular, prepared and made by one of the then masters of the said Court. From 1637 to about 1684 many suits at law were instituted between the purchasers of such estates, manors, &c. (which had been sold by the said Earl Richard) and the pensioners of the college ; such purchasers contending that no understanding, covenant, or provision was given or made in their respective conveyances to render them liable to any proportionate part to be paid by them to the college, either under the will, decree, or otherwise ; so that on the bearing of these cases they were decided against the claims of the college, and the sums of £113 7s. 3d. thereby extinguished, leaving only £216 12s. 9d. for its future support, namely, from the year 1684, or thereabouts, to the present time.
