        History of Parliament: Thomas Chatterton.
        The William Chatterton who asked the House to act was almost certainly the one who carried on a protracted lawsuit against his relative, Thomas Chatterton, over property in Lydiard Millicent, Wiltshire....Thomas Chatterton hath taken upon him to levy forces and to press soldiers without any commission, and yet he persuaded them that he had commission so to do and charged them to attend upon him at a certain place and time in the Queen’s name, but after he had gotten some money from them he discharged them again’.5
        Most of the information about Chatterton concerns the various lawsuits in which he became involved. ...prosecuted him, Henry Chatterton and others of his kinsmen, ‘being men of a very insolent, licentious and dissolute life, and also common hunters, disturbers, annoyers and spoilers’ in the forest of Braydon, claiming that while illegally hunting deer they had broken into a keeper’s lodge, assaulted several underkeepers and carried off one Gryphon, presumably a forest official who tried to stop them....
