agnes weller, frensham, kingsley 1597

Poor law admin.

Letter from Laurence Stoughton, Stoughton, to Sir William More. He encloses a 'strange' letter [not present] from Mr Kingswell, justice of the peace, in the county of Southampton, accusing Stoughton and More of misinterpreting the law to their own ends in the case of Agnes Weller, removed from Frensham to Kingsley. He asks More to summon the constable and other inhabitants of Frensham and also Agnes Weller for further examination.
