Mrs. Broccas versus Muscovy Company.
Whereas, upon the Petition of Mary Broccas, exhibited in Parliament Anno 21° Jacobi, it was Ordered, 28 Maii 1625, That the Muscovy Company should bring in, to the Treasurer of the said Company, by Midsummerday then next coming, their several and respective Leviations and Assessments, lastly made by the said Company, for and towards the Payment of such Debts as were then owing by their said Company, upon their Common Seal, for Monies borrowed at Interest of Strangers, not free of the said Company, whereof she the said Mary Broccas to be first paid her Debt, with Interest of Five Pounds in the Hundred since the Time they forbore to pay her Eight in the Hundred (as by the said Order, amongst other Things concerning these Merchants of that Company, may appear): All which was, by the said Order, referred to the Court of Chancery, to be put in Execution accordingly.
And whereas the said Mary Broccas hath exhibited a Second Petition in Parliament here at Oxford, complaining that she had (notwithstanding the said Order) received but Seven Hundred Pounds of her Interest and Principal Money, the Principal being a Thousand Pounds, lent many Years since, at Eight Pounds pro Centum; and that the Governor and Merchants of the said Company did seek Delays, to defraud her of the Residue, making divers Interpretations of the said Order; for which she prayed Relief, and that the said Governor and Merchants might be called before their Lordships, to set down their Exceptions to the said Order.
The Lords, considering the Danger of the Time, thought it not fit to draw the Governor and Merchants of that Company to this Place. Wherefore they did, on this 5th Day of August, Order the said Petitioner's Cause to be referred to the Chancery, to be executed according to the former Order, with as much Conveniency as may be, in respect of the Sickness at this Time.
