Pleadings in the Court of Wards and Liveries, in the matter of Ivan Powell, plt., and Edward Williams, deft., for trespass on 12 acres of ground called Mynyth-y-vedow, Rhos-y-maen-bras and Cunderwennith; claimed by reason of a lease from the Queen who granted it to the plaintiff for want of livery sued out by William Morgan, the heir of the land.

Has received his letters of the 28th of last month wherein complaint of him is made by Robert Wynn. [See NLW MS 464E/235]. William ap John Humphrey killed the plaintiff's son in a fight, hand to hand. That the offender walked in the markets afterwards may well be, for the market towns are far from the writer. Though named Sheriff before, the writer only received his Commission 28 January last, the date of Zouche's letters; the reason of his receiving his Commission so late was, that having taken an extreme cold or rather a popular disease, 'Kyke a murr', in 'daying' between friends in the Xmas holidays at Conway, he was fain to send to my Lord Keeper for a new Commission to take his oath. That the murderers were harboured amongst Wynn's tenants and friends is more than he knows or is persuaded will prove true. Cannot deny that the offender is his kinsman, but he that is dead was as near in blood (by the mother), and no kinsman is more sorry than the writer. Protests that he never favoured the murderer or any other notorious malefactor. If the murderer walk within Wynn's office he shall find neither favour nor support; but the country is wide, and he that standeth in danger of law may long escape the officers' hands. Concludes by protesting his innocence; means to wait on Zouche the latter end of next term.
