Events

Thomas Forster of Etherston, co. Northumberland, esq v Sir William Fenwick of Meldon and Wallington, co. Northumberland, knt, (n.d.).^[2]

"Forster, a Northumberland J.P., complained that Fenwick, also a senior county gentleman, had given him the lie some five or six years earlier at the court at Whitehall. Fenwick acknowledged this, but explained that he had been provoked when Forster insulted Fenwick's sister, Elizabeth, Lady Forster, wife of Sir Claudius Forster, baronet, at the court at Whitehall. The Earl Marshal had then presided over a reconciliation where Forster and Fenwick joined hands and promised that 'there never should be further question moved betwixt them touching the words'. Fenwick complained that about three years since Forster had exhibited a bill against him for the same offence in Star Chamber, and he petitioned the Earl Marshal to provide him with a certificate of the reconciliation."^[2]
