BNA Gloucester Journal - Saturday 13 August 1859

Gloucestershire Summer Assizes

HALE v VOICE

…….This was an action for ejectment to obtain possession of a house and garden at West Dean……….. the property in question……….was one of the encroachments which had been made previous to 1787 and as such might be purchased from the Crown for a small sum. Aaron Hale, the grandfather of the plaintiff, so purchased the property of the Crown in 1845 and it was duly conveyed to him. Thomas Hale, the plaintiff, was his grandson and was therefore the heir at law, and was entitled to this property. Mr Powell (for the defendant) contended that the property had been given to the defendant under a deed of gift from Aaron Hale, her father, and she, having had possession for 30 years, could not be dispossessed……………The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff.

The grandson could have been the 1829 Thomas and his grandfather the 1765 Aaron. The defendant, although not named here, might have been Thomas’s aunt. Maybe this one:-
