Case Notes
a note in a letter from Robert Bowes to Burghley (13/2/1591). A second mention of him in another letter from Bowes to Burghley (23/2/1591). Yet a third mention in letter of the same people (24/3/1591). He has still not been handed over. I have not selected a trial type since he was out of the country.
