 earl of Stamford. Maynard survived all his children, except his youngest daughter, and devised his estates in trust for his granddaughters and their issue in tail by a will so obscure that to settle the disputes to which it gave rise a private act of parliament was passed in 1694, notwithstanding which it was made the subject of litigation in 1709 (see an inaccurate report of the case in, Reports in Chancery, ii. 644, ed. Raitby).

To Maynard we owe the unique edition of the reports of Richard de Winchedon, being the ‘Year-Books of Edward II,’ covering substantially the entire reign to Trinity term 1326, together with excerpts from the records of Edward I, printed under the title ‘Les Reports des cases argue et adjudge in le Temps del' Roy Edward le Second, et auxy Memoranda del' Exchequer en Temps le Roy Edward le Primer. Solonq; les ancient Manuscripts ore remanent en les Maines de Sir Jehan Maynard Chevalier Serjeant de la Ley al sa tres Excellent Majesty Le Roy Charles le Second. Ovesq; un perfect Table des Matters en les dits Cases de Temps del' Roy Edward le Second, colligee par le mesme Serjeant,’ London, 1678–9, fol.

Maynard's manuscript collections in eighty-seven volumes, comprising commonplace books, transcripts of legal records, reports, and other miscellanea (including the ‘Reports’ of Francis Rodes [q. v.], a variety of readings, and ‘The Mirror of Justices’) are preserved in Lincoln's Inn Library (see, Catalogue of Lincoln's Inn MSS. 1838). One of Maynard's opinions was printed in ‘London's Liberty’ [see under ]. For his speeches at Strafford's trial see Rushworth's ‘Historical Collections,’ vol. viii. For other of his speeches see Cobbett's ‘State Trials,’ ‘Parliamentary History,’ and ‘Somers Tracts,’ vi. 430. He must be carefully distinguished from his namesake, Sir John Maynard, K.B. (1592–1658) [q. v.], with whom he has been confounded by Lord Campbell.

At the age of eighteen or nineteen he was made a protestant minister at the instance of his uncle, a conforming priest, who desired to procure for him the succession to his benefice. Being afterwards sent to the university of Oxford, he studied for a time at St. Alban Hall, but was soon chosen chaplain of St. John's College, where he was admitted B.A. 6 April 1566, and commenced M.A. 10 July 1570 (Oxford Univ. Reg. ed. Boase, i. 260). He became secretly attached to the Roman catholic faith, and on the invitation of Gregory Martin [q. v.], Edmund Campion [q. v.], and other friends, he proceeded to Douay, where he was admitted into the English College in 1573. He was ordained priest in 1575, and graduated B.D. in the university of Douay on 7 Feb. 1575-6 (Records of the English Catholics, i. 5, 7). On 24 April 1576 he was sent with
