And master Browne came into my Lord Darcy's house & parlour belonging unto M. Barnaby, before my said Lord and all the Justices, and laid his hand of my shoulder, with a smiling countenance, and desired me to make his hearty commendations unto your good Lordship, and asked me if I would, and I said. Yea, with a good will. Wherefore I was glad, and thought that I should not have been charged with so sudden carriage. But after dinner, the Justices counselled with the Bailiffs, and with the Gaolers, and then after took me unto them, and made collation of the Indentures, and sealed; and then Master Browne commanded me this after noon, being the 30. of August, to go and receive my prisoners by and by. And then I said, it is an unreasonable commandment, for that I have attended of you here these three days, and this Sunday early I have sent home my men. Wherefore I desire you to have a convenient time appointed, wherein I may know whether it will please my Lord my master to send his Commissioners hither, or that I shall make carriage of them unto his Lordship. Then M. Browne: We are certified, that the Council hath written unto your master, to make speed,1 and to rid these prisoners out of hand: therefore go receive your prisoners in haste. Then I: Sir, I shall receive them within these ten days. Then M. Browne: The limitation lieth in us, and not in you, wherefore get you hence.
