Account 1673
A true and perfect account of all sum and sums of
money received and paid by Nicholas Fazakerley receiver
of the rents and revenues belonging to the right honour-
able Caryll Lord Viscount Molineux in the county of
Lancaster front the 25th day of March in the year of
our Lord God 1673 unto the 25th day of March 1674"
And Charles Okill being examined stated that he found
the same in the muniment room of Lord Sefton that the
same purported to be signed by Nicholas Fazakerley and
that the signature appeared to be in the same hand
writing as the rest of the book and to hare been written
at the time of the date thereof

And the said counsel for the said plaintiffs tendered
the same in evidence fur the purpose of proving that
certain sums in the said book of accounts mentioned had
beau received by Nicholas Fazakerley as rent from the
tenants of certain premises of the said Sir Richard
Molyneux and of thereby proving that the said Sir
Richard Molyneux was at the time when the said sums
were said to have been received as aforesaid in posses-
sion of the said premises under the several leases so
given in evidence aforesaid or some of them but the said
accounts were not signed by the said Nicholas Fazaker-
ley and no evidence was given by the said counsel to
shcw that the said Nicholas Fazakerley was at the said
time when any entries therein were made the steward or
in the employ of the said Sir Richard Molyneux or that
the contents of the said book were in the hand writing
of the said Nicholas Fazakerley or that in fact the book
had been kept by him or that the sums pr,tended to
have been received as rent corresponded with the rents
payable under any lease given in evidence or that the
supposed receipts were contemporary with any such
leases Wherefore the counsel for the said defendants
objected to the admissibility of the said book and any
entries therein and insisted that the same was not ad-
missible as evidence for the said plaintiffs and ought not
to be received But the said chief justice over-ruled the
said lastmentioned objection and the same was read in
evidence as follows
" Liverpool June 4th 1673 received of John Plucking-
ton of the rents there due in the new street

And the said Thomas Foster then produced a book and
being further examined stated that he brought it from
amongst the muniments of the said corporation and that
it purported to be a record of the proceedings of the
said corporation at their portmote courts common coun-
cils and other meetings of the appointment of officers of
the corporation and other matters relating to the affairs
of the corporation And the said Thomas Foster further
stated that there now is [and as far back as their records
enabled them to ascertain the fact viz from the year
1653 there always had been] an officer of the corporation
called the towns customer who had always collected for
the corporation certain tolls or dues [under the denomi-
nation of town dues or customs and that such officer was
in ancient times elected annually in the same manner as
the other officers of the corporation]—(These two passages
within brackets objected to they are not to be found in
the Judges note)
And the said counsel for the said mayor bailiffs and
burgesses offered to give in evidence on the said issue a
certain entry in the said last mentioned book so produced
from amongst the said muniments of the said corporation
purporting to be a bond given by the said officer called
towns customer on his appointment

And the counsel for the said defendant then and there
objected to the reading of the said entry and to the ad-
missibility in evidence on the part of the said plaintiffs
nevertheless the said chief justice then permitted the
said last menti9ned entry to be given in evidence and
the same was read in evidence on the said trial by the
