To John de Pulteneye. Whereas the king learns by inquisition
taken by Henry de Seccheford and Robert de Kelleseye, in the presence
of the sheriff of Surrey, that Roger Savage, lord of a moiety of the town
of Gumselve, in the parish of Shire, in that county, sold by deed, on
Tuesday before St. Peter in Cathedra last, to Thomas Bonet, Walter le
Heymongere, and Geoffrey Aleyn, fishmonger (pessoner), citizens of London,
all the trees and all the underwood and all the crop (vesturam) then
growing in 250 acres of his wood called 'East Chirt,' so that the said
citizens and their servants should have free ingress at their pleasure to the
wood and egress thence upon his soil there to cut, fell, burn, or dig up the trees,
underwood, and crop, and to carry the same away, and that the said citizens
caused the trees, underwood, and crop to be cut and felled to the quantity of
80 acres, and that they carried away and sold from the wood thus felled to
the quantity of 40 acres as their chattels, and that the remainder of the
wood thus felled remaining there is worth 18l., and that the wood aforesaid
is now in the king's hands and in John de Pulteneye's custody by his
commission, with other lands of the said Roger in that county, because Roger
broke and escaped from the prison of Neugate, wherein he was detained
for certain felonies, and that thus the said citizens are hindered by John
from felling the trees, underwood, and crop aforesaid, and from carrying
the same away, as the king learns; the king therefore orders John to
permit the said citizens to carry away all the trees, underwood, and crop
felled by them; provided that nothing be done to the trees, underwood, and
crop still standing without the king's special order. |
