Further reference to the justices of the complaint of John Allen against the inhabitants of Great Kimble. The justices had met to determine the matter, but could not agree among themselves. The matter was as follows: -­‐ John Allen had hired a certain Thomas Lee, aged thirteen years, for a year ending at Michaelmas 1702, at which time Thomas Lee “with the privity of his father was brought to Aylesbury, to be hired to one Richard Harding, who did not hire him because he was too small ... Then he returned .. to .. John Allen, and about ... a month afterwards he broke his leg .. which has cost... John Allen for the Boy’s cure ... Seaven Pounds and Ten Shillings”. Upon oath, Thomas Lee declared that John Allen hired him again for a year at Michaelmas 1702. Charles Palmer, justice, was therefore of the opinion that John: Allen should find the £7. 10s. 0d. out of his own purse. John Allen declared that after Michaelmas 1702 he suffered Thomas Lee to remain with him “only upon courtesie and charity”, and upon this evidence William Busby, justice, judged that John Allen, “as one of the Overseers of the poor of Great Kimble, should re-­‐imburse himself out of the Parish money”.
