SIR THOMAS MALET OF POYNTINGTON

Thomas Malet, the son of Malachi Malet and his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Richard Trevanion, was born about 1582. The Rev. F. Brown writes: "He was a member of the Middle Temple, called to the bar 1606, Reader 1626, appointed Solicitor-General to the Queen. Appointed Judge of the the King's Bench July 1st, 1641, and was then knighted. For not revealing to the House of Lords the petition of the Grand Jury of Kent against the ordinance of the Militia, and in support of the Book of Common Prayer, he was by the Lords committed to the Tower, March 18th, 1642, but released on a bond for £1000." He went the May circuit that summer; and on refusing permission to some Members of Parliament to read certain votes of Parliament in Court (for which act he received the thanks of the King), was violently seized from the Bench at Kingston, and committed to the Tower, where he remained a prisoner for two years, till October, 1644, when he regained his liberty by exchange. By an ordinance, November, 1645, he was disqualified as a Judge. His son Baldwin was killed in a skirmish with the Parliamentary troops not far from his father's house; the tradition is that he leapt a gate with all his armour on into the midst of the enemy and was killed, and that he was buried the next day for fear of the plague.

Two years after the restoration, though then seventy-eight years of age, he was replaced in his old seat in the King's Bench. He tried some of the regicides, and the King, on his petition on June 18th, 1663, dispensed with his further attendance on the Bench, continuing to him the title and salary of Judge. A Baronetcy was granted him, but he refrained from completing the fiat during the two remaining years of his life.

Said to be the son of the Malachi Mallett who can be found in the Luxulyan, Cornwall, parish register, though Thomas's birth is not recorded there. It is not known where he was born.

Arthur Malet, in "Notices of an English Branch of the Malet Family", states that he was born about 1582. This is repeated in "Prelude to Civil War", but The inquest post mortem of Malachi Malet states that Thomas was "aged 28" in 1614, which means he was born about 1586.
