Indisposition and grief prevent William Maurice from travelling or taking pleasure in attending Justice Barker at Merionethshire or these sessions (though he has various complaints), to answer the false suggestions of such notorious fellows as Sir Ieu'n, that irregular minister. Will not [...] other honest gentlemen his cousins Mr Robert ap John ap [...] John Powell ap Owen and his son Robert [...] and unjust dealing with William Maurice to rob him and wrest [...] from him contrary to their pretended recovery. These are emboldened by Justice Barker's favour [...] against William Maurice whom they see Justice Barker disfavours and thought [...] have Justice Barker's countenance against him in law [...] of pleas or in the Chancery Court of equity. William Maurice hoped to find justice in both. Desires no more and deserves no less; grounds his greatest title on King James, who, as Lord Cooke called him, is the fountain of justice, in whose name William Maurice craves the same. Never offended Justice Barker except in being earnest in the King's requests which he hoped Justice Barker would be as willing to perform. If any cause moved Justice Barker to the contrary, he had no cause to bear spleen against William Maurice especially in matters of justice and law. Particularises two or three in which William Maurice thinks and is advised, Justice Barker granted hard order against him, and for two of which he asks redress at Justice Barker's hand. Two are in respect of himself and the King, touching their [...] and inheritance, and the third is for a poor widow with five children, some of them cripples, for whom William Maurice speaks in charity and hopes Justice Barker will act likewise. Ends with a greeting in Sir William Maurice's hand. Torn.

Ralph [Eure, Lord] Eure, Ludlow Castle, to his friends Sir John Gwynne, kt, bart, Sir William Moris, Sir William Thomas, kt, and John Gruffith, esq., deputy lieutenants for Caernarfonshire. The recipients shall see from a copy of the enclosed letters, addressed to Ralph Eure with extraordinary haste, how important are their contents, namely the apprehending of Lord Maxwell, a Scotsman, a convicted traitor. Their discretion and loyalty in this business will enable them to act as required. Adds the following directions: such a person, having broken prison, where he was committed and convicted for such high offences, would probably not return except with worse intentions. Therefore the search for him after his return is as necessary as was pursuit of him on his flight and escape. Requires and authorises the recipients diligently and with all speed to search all likely places, where ships put in or where any strangers are found suspect. Let each of them search his own 'particular', and wherever they are suspicious, extend the search outside the county, using this letter as their warrant. If they come upon Lord Maxwell and are resisted while apprehending him or fear a rescue while they convey him to Ralph Eure as the letter requires, authorises them to raise such power as may [...] him and them. Request for their best endeavours.
