In canc[ellaria curia] : Edwarde Deyer pl[ain]tiff : Ffrauncis Deyer defen[dan]t, [1608] Apr 19.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702172366

Manuscript, on paper, in a secretary hand, of the summary record of a Court of Chancery case between two nephews of the poet and courtier Sir Edward Dyer, both asserting ownership rights to the parsonage of Weston in Somerset, Edward Dyer by the right of primogeniture and Francis Dyer by right of a conditional grant. The document contains the bill, the answer, the replication, and the proofs of both the plaintiff and the defendant. The various testimonies contain significant biographical information on Sir Edward Dyer, including his complex and frequently shifting relationships with his nephews, his repeated financial difficulties, and his alleged marriage proposal to a "Mistress Whigham" in 1566.
