Copy Answer of Griffith Ellis, Dorothy the wife of Owen Ellis, and other defendants to Sir William Maurice's bill in the Court of the Marches accusing them of riot, etc. They admit that certain leases were made by way of exchange between William Maurice and Ellis Cadwaladr, the father of the first defendant, and of Owen Ellis. But those leases and terms are now expired. The tenements of Ynyscynhaern and Bron y Gadair in controversy are partly Crown and partly gavelkind land. The gavelkind land formerly belonged to Einion ap Gruffydd and came by several descents to Robert Gruffydd Lloyd, who had the same surveyed by a close kinsman of Sir William Maurice who was then the patentee of Tregest. The same was transferred to Owen Ellis for £300. The principal defendant was merely concerned with sowing his brother's land.
