Sept. 16. Windsor. |
To the sheriff of York. Because from divers complaints of the men of
that county the king has learned that several vagabonds and others who
lately had the king's charters of pardon for divers felonies committed by
them, drawing divers malefactors and peace - breakers to them, making
assemblies and illicit gatherings both by day and night, in that county,
observing the passes in woods and other suspect places, wander in fairs,
markets, and elsewhere in that county, and run about threatening the men
who point out them and their accomplices, in life and members, and in the
burning of their houses, lying in wait for them and others in the said fairs,
markets and wood, mutilating some, killing others, robbing some and perpetrating numerous other crimes, and that these felonies, which ought to be
presented in that sheriff's tourns, and in other courts of the king, have
hitherto remained concealed, by which the king's peace is much injured and
the malefactors are rendered more audacious to perpetrate such evils; the
king therefore orders the sheriff to associate with him a discreet and lawful
man of that county to inquire in fit places concerning the names of such
malefactors and of their crimes, and to arrest and imprison those who are
indicted, using the posse comitatus if necessary for this purpose, and to
inform the king immediately of the names of malefactors so attached.

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to deliver to John
de Nevill of Horneby the hundred of Bradeford, co. Salop, worth 24 marks
yearly, together with the issues thereof from the time of its being taken
into the king's hand, to be held until the next parliament, so that it may
then be ordained what shall be done, notwithstanding the king's order to take
such hundreds into his hand, discharging the sheriff of that county towards
the king in the meantime; as the king lately granted the said hundred to
John with the consent of the prelates, earls, barons, and other magnates of
the realm, for his good and laudable service, and chiefly on account of the
dangers to which John exposed himself in Nottingham castle in arresting
certain persons by whom the affairs of the kingdom and the people were
suffering great harm, at the king's command and wish and with certain
other lieges, to hold for himself and the legitimate male heirs of his body,
with reversion to the king in default of such issue; and John has besought
the king to cause the said hundred to be delivered to him, as it is now taken
into the king's hand by virtue of the statute for taking hundreds which were
annexed to the ferms of counties into the king's hand, and for rejoining
them to those counties. [Fœdera.] |
