To the sheriff of Stafford. Order to supersede the exigents made upon
John de Hughteston, by a mainprise, and to have this writ before the
justices on a certain day, as John has shown the king that whereas Robert
Trumwyn, parson of Eyton church, impleads him before the justices of the
Bench to render his account to Robert for the time when he was receiver of
Robert's money, and because by process held thereupon, the sheriff
returned before the justices that John was not found and had nothing in
the bailiwick by which he could be attached, the king ordered the sheriff by
writ de judicio returnable before the justices on the octaves of Trinity next
to cause John to be exacted from court to court until he should be
outlawed if he did not appear, and if he appeared to take him to answer
Robert in the said plea; and now John has besought the king by petition
before him and his council, to order the exigents to be superseded by a
sufficient security, because he is placed in exigent in the county to be
outlawed although he has lands in the county where he can be distrained
to render the account and he is ready to stand to right upon the premises
at the said day in all things; and John has found the following
mainpernors in chancery: Roger Michel, John le Rotour, Hugh de Aston,
John de Blithefeld, Roger de Aston, Adam de Hopton and Henry le
Spenser of that county and John de Broghton of co. Northampton, who
have undertaken to have John before the justices on the said day to answer
Robert in the said plea and further to do and receive what the king's court
shall determine in the premises. By pet. of C. |

To Hugh, master of the order of the Friars Preachers. The king wonders

the community, and has done nothing illicit or contrary to the good name
of the order, and the king believes that the master would not have done so
perchance if he had duly weighed the favours in which the royal house
benefited the order, it therefore pleases the king that to redeem such
ingratitude they shall have Richard at their chapter general and treat
him not only as his merits deserve but as being recommended by the king. |
