("John Price ... caused certain friends of his to make overtures for a marriage between his daughter Joan and this plaintiff [Cleeve], with fair promises of a good portion to be had with her. Whereupon the plaintiff `did eftsoon become a suitor to have the said Joan in marriage'" To which Price replied that he "took no great notice of Cleve, he being `a mere stranger'" and denied approaching Cleve for "a marriage with his daughter, `who is now married to this complainant to the defendant's great grief because it is much to be feared that her now husband the complainant is a man of no estate or ability,'" Price further alleged that Cleeve was planning "to make the best of his fortunes by his said marriage and then to go for Spain and to leave the said wife upon" Price's charge [NEHGR 102:172-74].)
