John Allen declared that after Michaelmas 1702 he suffered Thomas Lee to remain with him “only upon courtesie and charity”, and upon this evidence William Busby, justice, judged that John Allen, “as one of the Overseers of the poor of Great Kimble, should re-imburse himself out of the Parish money”.
