According to William Maurice's desire, Morgan Wynne repaired to Llanymddifrie on Monday last, but by reason of the way being so far, by cause of the business the day before, it was greater noon before he could reach there. By then Sir Harry Johns was sworn and the book certified in the Town Hall in the presence of forty persons the most part townsmen. He questioned Sir Harry about some agreement with William Maurice. Found him somewhat obstinate relying upon two releases he had from 'my lady' his mother. One release was of the lands of Sir Thomas Johns and Rowland Puleston, dec., the other of all the goods, cattle, chattels of Sir Thomas Johns. He showed the releases to Morgan Wynne with witnesses thereupon endorsed. Morgan Wynne alleged a later composition between William Maurice and Johns. Then he showed a general acquittance under William Maurice's hand to undo the same estate bearing date a year after. In the end asked for a meeting to be had between the parties to see whether friends might draw them to some good agreement and he promised to come up to Llanbadarn on Wednesday or Thursday next come sevennight with a couple of gentlemen and two servants. If William Maurice will travel so far again, although it will be to his great travail, the writer hopes that the mediation of friends will see a good composition made. Advises him to bring with him a couple of understanding gentlemen to mediate the matter. Endorsed: Account of Morgan Wynn's expenses.
