sentences:  Then, in 1535, Dutton falsely accused the abbot and Brereton of issuing counterfeit coins.This charge was dismissed mainly because one of Dutton's witnesses was considered to be "unconvincing".Playing into Duttons' hands was the gross undervaluation of the abbey's assets as reported to the royal commissioners of the Valor Ecclesiasticus of 1535; as a result of which the net annual income of the abbey was recorded, falsely, as falling below the £200 () threshold that would subsequently be chosen for the first round of dissolutions in 1536, although whether this subterfuge was due to the machinations of Dutton or the abbot (or both) remains unclear.
