Before his death John Burell, out of remorse, restored the issues and profits, but on his death Andrew Burell entered the same and withheld the issues and profits and would not return the evidences, or several silver items that Edward Burell had given him, and the petitioner had given him to pay to the church wardens of the parish of St Nicholas, Cole Abbey, he not having paid the wardens.
