Scope and content
The file comprises cases concerning the will of Charlotte Botfield of Norton Hall, Northamptonshire (died 1825), 1829-1832, with accounts dating back to 1819 and relevant letters. John Wynne Griffith of Garn was entitled to certain sums of money as principal legatee, but the contents of the will and codicils were questioned, since her mental capabilities were affected by epilepsy in the last years of her life. Her brother, William Withering, promoted a cause in the PCC for proving the will, against her son, Beriah Botfield, and J.W.G., 1829. After the will was proved, J.W.G. had recourse to the High Court of Chancery in an attempt to recover from William Withering the money he was owed. By 1832, he was pressing for an amicable conclusion to the case.
