      Title Session at Canterbury, 8th January, 1599/1600 Date 1599/1600: Joan Gynner of Harrietsham (and before Easter, 1598, of Brook) informed Sir Thomas Fludd, knight, justice of the peace, that Phillipp Bence, John Spillett and Thomas Androwe, parishioners of Brook, did a little before Easter, 1598, threaten her while she was at Brook in the service of William Hyggenson, where she remained by the week for thirty weeks, that if she did not go and dwell elsewhere before Easter, she would be whipped and sent away. Thereupon an order was made at the last sessions at Maidstone that she should be sent to Brook to be provided for there, where she now remains. At this sessions Philipp, John and Thomas come and deny that they threatened her, but say that she left Brook of her own accord before Easter, was later taken wandering, whipped and sent to Harrietsham, where she said she was born. The justices accept the evidence of the three men, and order her to be sent to Harrietsham, to be provided for there.
