Notes for: George Brooks

From the Huntingdon, Bedford & Peterborough Gazette, 1 Aug 1835:
George Brooks was opposed by his detaining creditor, Thomas Badcock, of Trumpington, miller, who stated as follows: insolvent was a tenant of mine; he held two of my cottages, and moved out of them last Michaelmas. He kept the keys and kept me out of possession; he delivered me one key on the 11th, and the other on the 14th June. I offered at Christmas to give him a quarter's rent if he would resign the keys; he said he should not resign them, he would keep the cottages for his country seat, and he would be d----d if I should ever have a shilling. Insolvent denied this statement, and said he offered Badcock the keys several times, but that Badcock would not take them without a quarter's rent for overholding, which insolvent would not pay. Badcock on being called again, reiterated his first statement, and said insolvent's wife's mother occupied a third cottage, she could not pay him, and he took the key of her, though she is still in his debt. Insolvent was remanded for two months.
