TitleJ. P.'s judgement for plaintiff's claim of £1.19.9d. and costs in a case brought by William Barley of Eynesbury against Richard Brown yeoman. Barley alleged that he had bargained with Brown to thatch wheat cocks for 1/6 the square of one hundred feet and that the work should be measured and calculated by measuring once round the Eaves and right up. Brown argued that the measurement should be ascertained by multiplying the circumference of the Eaves into the Heighth of the cone and dividing the product by two. Jaxes Moore of St. Neots, gentleman, appeared on behalf of Brown, George Lawson of Eynesbury for Barley.
