Draft Bill of Complaint of John Fenwicke exhibited in the Court of Chancery claiming compensation from John Machon, n.d. [c.1656] Each Master was required under statutes governing the Hospital to pass on to his successor goods and chattels worth £500, crops also to the value of £500 as well as hay and annual stock. To ensure this, each Master entered into a bond of £800 with the Bishop. Fenwicke claimed that during his tenure, Machon sold or embezzled all the goods and chattels and seized all inventories. Fenwicke claimed to have spent £1,400 on repairs to the Hospital. This suit was brought after the failure of the Machons to obtain maintenance from Fenwicke (see D/Sh.H 953-962).

Draft bill as in D/Sh.H 964, n.d. [c.1656]

John Machon's answers to the Bill of complaint brought against him by John Fenwicke (D/Sh.H 964 ), n.d. [post 1650] He claims that on succeeding to the Mastership in 1635 he found that his predecessor had alienated the lands and allowed the buildings to fall into disrepair. Machon spent £200 on repairs and increased the value of the land until the outbreak of hostilities when he claims to have lost £1,000 of stock due to pillage by soldiers. In October 1644 he was forceably removed and John Fenwicke installed by Sir William Armyn under instructions from Parliament. In 1650 Fenwicke secured letters patent confirming his appointment so Machon claims that he is entitled to compensation for revenues lost during the years 1644-1650 when Fenwicke held the Mastership without due authority

In 1657 their differences were temporarily settled by an agreement (see D/Sh.H 970) which both sides failed to uphold. Machon claims maintenance arrears for his wife and arrears of the annual payment agreed in D/Sh.H 970.
