§ The precedent Quarter Court beinge read a request was made in the behalfe of ffranc Harwell that for somuch as his elder brother Sr Edmund Harwell Kt of ye Bath had assigned unto him under his hand and seal all the interest he had to three Shares of land in Virginia descended unto the said Sr Edmund by the decease {1611} of Sr Thomas Harwell their younger brother who adventured £37 10s towards the advancement of the Plantacion as doth appear: the Court would therefore please to confirme the said shares unto the sd ffrancis Harwell; whereupon the books being searched and Sr Thomas Harwell the Adventurer {seems to suggest "investor" or "speculator" as opposed to "adventurer" per se} beinge found indebted £25 unto the Company upon Sr Edward Canways underwritinge for him to the fourth Roll, some Doubt was made whither those shares might be permitted to passe before the said Debt was cleared. After some dispute thereupon, it was resolved that Sr Thomas Harwell could not in equity be charged with that which another man for him had underwritten and instance was given of the verie like case allowed by Auditors and the debt renulled with which there is reason and president the Court being well satisfied and the shares therefore put to the question were by a general ereccon. of handle confirmed unto the said Ffrancis Harwell; inwhich shares one Mr. Kellam havinge an interest likewise from the said Sir Thomas Harwell did not acknowledge in open Court his full assent into the passing of them unto the said Ffrancis Harwell which acknowledgement he did likewise testifie under his hand and seale upon the foot of the said assignment.
