Chancery case note
« on: Thursday 08 June 23 12:18 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help with deciphering this note please. It is on the reverse of an instruction to obtain a deposition, possibly the full answer of the defendant. I have converted it to grayscale, as it appears slightly clearer than the original image.

So far, I have:

The ? of
this [Commission] ?
appears to contain
Schedules [here unto] ?
annexed

Jno Warren
Batson
Stokes - London and Essex
Hodges - Somerset
Murden - Notts
Humphries/Humphreys from Montgomeryshire

The Execution of
this Commission
appears in certain
Schedules hereunto
annexed

May be Execution: "The Execution of this Commission appears to contain Schedules here-unto annexed".

That would make sense, because the defendant's answer, taken under oath, includes a separate folio summarising various deeds that he claimed were pertinent to his defence.

Thank you.

Edit: Thanks also Arthurk, our posts crossed!
