Account of a meeting on 13 Nov 1620 at the round table before Dr [John] Barnston locum tenens of the Dean, Mr [Giles] Thornburgh [Thornborough] Sub dean, Dr [Henry] Seward and Dr [Walter] Curll [Curle]. There is a note on the left about William Tayler [Taylor] also Heynam and the maid [of] Thornborough but the page appears to have been cut, removing some of the text. [Taylor] appeared and denied that he ever had carnal knowledge of Alice Jennings recently Mr Thornborough's maid. The next part is difficult to read. It possibly states that his clearing ('ad purgand se') was to be on Monday 27 Nov 1620 between the hours of 1 and 3am (?with 2 men of the Close and 2 of the city - '2 de Claus[.] [et] 2 de Civi[tate]'). Then (assuming this is a new sentence) at around 3pm appeared Mr Smigergill [William Smegergill] and showed [?a claim], then William Taylor or Heynam appeared and introduced as his oath-helpers from the Close Adam Gordon and [?Christopher] Joyne, and of the city Abraham Collins and Nicholas Parsons (in the presence of Alice Jennings who confirmed [that the said William promised to pay for his child]). Mr Heynam promised to pay [?15s] 8d around the Feast of St Thomas. There is a list of presumably legal costs at the bottom. See DA/1/5/73.
