-About 1567, William was involved in a Star Chamber suit.{{ref|5}}
+He was probably the "William Whittney", plaintiff in a Chancery suit against Richard Lylley in 1567. On 5 Feb 1567, Richard Lylley had not made his answer to the William Whittney's bill of complaint, even though a previous order had been issued. Because of this, the Sheriff of Gloucester was notified.{{ref|5}}
 :Richard Lylley of Stow, Gloucester claimed that William Whitney, Gent., of Icomb along with his brother George Whitney, Gent. and many others (about 80 in total) had on 15 July 1567 assembled at the Upper Swell Manor's mansion house with various weapons to try to gain entry. Richard Lylley, William and Johan Foxe, along with their children, servants, and friends were trapped inside. He claimed that the rioters had used mining instruments to try to undermine part of the house and had threatened to burn it down. The 'rioters' stayed for about three weeks, not letting anyone in or out, and Lylley suggested they were trying to starve them out. The group was forced to drink rain water and to eat verinyse (vermin?). The group in the house finally relented and left, leaving all of their possessions.

 :Because of the social status of the individuals involved, Richard Lylley requested the Court of Star Chamber to subpoena the Whitneys. Because the Bill of Complaint is the only document in the suit which has been found, the results of the complaint are not known.
