The Chancery court is where the action at law took place - John Quayle summarised most (?all) the cases thro this court and wrote then in a manuscript book known as Quayle's precendents - that was what I quoted - Quayle gave page refs for the court proceedings - the deed of sale is Lonan Old Deed #12 - dated 8 mar 1709;Christo Bell + wife Joney(Rushen) finding tenemnt inconvenient and having now purchased Scard(Rushen) agreed sell Ballannaugh (abbey rent 4s 9d + customs (1 firlot barley = 14d), 1 lamb, 1 goose + 1 hen)to Phill Quealeash(+ son John) for £15 but objected to by Jon Skillicorn (next of kindred to Joney Bell to whom land descended) and the court agreed he should have for same consideration.
Possibly the pleadings in Chancery Court might elucidate the exact nature of his relationship - is Joney Bell mother of Christopher?
