Sir John Napier Baronet, as a Gamekeeper, within
his Hundred of Flitton, in the County of Bedford,
in the Company of John Feild Constable of Flitton,
came to this Deponent's House next adjoining to the
Manor of Maulden; where he produced a Warrant,
which he affirmed was under Sir John Napier's Hand
and Seal, authorizing him to take away all Nets,
Guns, &c. from such Persons as were not qualified
by Law to keep them; and, by virtue thereof, he
the said Thomas Ellingham took from this Deponent
Two Tramells, Two low Bells, and Part of a Plovernet, and carried the same away, although at the
same Time this Deponent told both the said Ellingham and John Feild, that he then was, and for many
Years last past had been, Fowler to the Right Honourable Thomas Earl of Ailesbury, and his late Father the Lord Chamberlain deceased, within their
Honours of Ampthill and Manor of Mauldon, and
several other Manors contiguous adjoining; and that
those Nets, low Bells, &c. were the said Earl's.
This Deponent further faith, in this Deponent's Deputation from the said Earl, as his Gamekeeper and
Fowler, the said John Feild is joined with this Deponent; but durst not deny to assist the said Ellingham, for Fear of disobeying Sir John's Warrant. And
this Deponent further faith, That, about the Fourth
Day of this Instant December, the said Ellingham
brought back the said Nets to this Deponent's
House, and said, "he had Orders to bring them back
again," and left them there, but much endamaged
between the Taking and the Return. And this Deponent faith, That, since the First Taking, the said
Thomas Ellingham hath searched this Deponent's
House Twice, for Guns, Nets, &c. but found none.
And this Deponent faith, That he believes that he
and his said Partner during the Time the said Nets
were taken away, they lost the taking above Forty
Shillings worth of Fowl, and that the said Nets
were above Ten Shillings the worse at the Return.
And this Deponent faith, about the same Time, the
said Ellingham served Henry Cooper, Fowler to the
Right Honourable Ametella Countess Dowager of
Kent, in the same Manner in all Points.
"Geo. O Tayler,
his Mark."
