Radcliffe v Meade

  • STAC 5/R14/25 - B A - 33 Eliz - Cambridgeshire - Owen Radcliffe v Christopher Meade, Adam Tabram et al
    • Another case between the two men in 1591 shows some of Ratcliffe’s activities outside London and Lancashire. In the second bill of complaint he is described as bailiff, for Merton College, Oxford, of the manor and lordship of Gamlingay, Cambridgeshire. Meade was a Cambridgeshire man, and Ratcliffe declared that it was he who caused the bailiff’s servants to be injured while they were distraining cattle. Meade’s demurrer stated that he was not obliged to answer the charges, as Owen Ratcliffe of Gamlingay was the same person who, as Owen Ratcliffe of Langley, had been outlawed for debt by the court of common pleas, and who was therefore disabled from bringing an action. The question why a Lancashire gentleman should have been representing an Oxford college in Cambridgeshire remains unanswered. N M Fuidge, ‘Radcliffe, Owen’, in History of Parliament vols 1558-1603.
