Hi Donna, Benjamin Browne was “outlawed” - that is put outside the law, because he had failed to appear at King’s Bench to answer for the “deodand” of the horse in King’s Bench. The horse belonged to the king, and Browne had detained it, probably quite lawfully, because it had been given to him to look after. He must have subsequently appeared at King’s Bench to answer - or sent his excuses - because he does not appear to have been arrested and jailed. You can obtain copies of the records from King’s Bench by applying to the National Archives. There might be an annotation to explain what subsequently happened. Michael Burchall Sent from Windows Mail From: Donna Casey via Sent: ‎Tuesday‎, ‎25‎ ‎November‎ ‎2014 ‎16‎:‎41 To: SFHG SxFamHXGrp A number of years ago an SFHG member ran across one of my ancestor's names in a Kings Bench document. Pardon TILLINGHURSTHere is the gist of it: Entry 343:"On 22 Apr (1635), when George PARKER of Southwark, London, butcher, was riding on the road between Ifield and Horsham, by misadventure the horse staggered and PARKER fell to the ground whereby he immediately died and otherwise to the juror's knowledge. The jurors (they met on 23 APR 1635) appraised the horse, which is "redd roane' in colour, with its attachments at 40s; it remains with Benjamin BROWNE, vicar of Ifield. Here are the ref. #s - KB9/806, m 312 ( I have gone to TNA site and those records do not appear to have been digitalised) The following information was also given: [Delivered with 334. The vicar was summoned to King's Bench to answer of the horse and attachments: he was outlawed at Chichester on 18 FEB 1636.KB 9/806, mm 312, 312d, KB 29/284, m 4d] Here is what I DO know.One of the jurors was my ancestor Pardon TiLLINGHURST, who it happens was the son-in-law of the vicar, Benjamin BROWNE.I understand what happened in the first instance. ?The vicar took possession of the horse and attachments.....to steal?...(I question that)....but possibly took possession of them because they were on his property at the time....??? What I do not understand is the statement "he was outlawed"....at (Kings Bench) Chichester. Anyone have any ideas or knowledge of this process. Thanks for any help anyone can be.
