Petition by Thomas Maddock and Richard Maddock to Hon Sir Thomas Awdley, Lord Chancellor, that he initiate legal action against Ralph Oker [Okeover] to make him grant peaceful possession to Richard of a messuage and lands in Atlowe [Atlow] leased to him by Humphrey Oker deceased for 30 years from the death of his father Robert who then occupied them by deed dated 4 October 1536, at an annual rent of 4 marks: after Humfrey's death this propertydescended to Ralph son of Humfrey's son Philip: four years ago Robert Maddock died at which time Richard entered occupation and paid rent for two years or more: then Ralph ordered Richard to void the premises saying that Humfrey at the time of lease held only an estate in tail: however when Richard was fighting in the wars in France, Ralph entered a moiety of the premises and excluded Richard from it, threatening also to turn Thomas out of the other moiety.
