January 1386



Jan. 1. Westminster.	To the sheriff of Kent. Writ of supersedeas omnino in respect of a distress made by the sheriff, Thomas Fogge knight and Henry Thorp serjeant at arms upon William de Hoo knight and Eleanor his wife, John brother of the said William and John son of the said William and Eleanor within the manors of Threuley, Chilham and la Mellesshe, by colour of a command of the marshal of England addressed to the said Thomas and Henry at suit of William Merton esquire by reason of a cause pending before the constable and marshal between him and William de Hoo, and order to deliver to the said William de Hoo, Eleanor, John and John any distress so taken; as the abbot and convent of St. Bertinus in St. Omer, having obtained the king's licence, lately gave them for life the said manors, which are in the king's hands by reason of the war with France, for a set farm yearly to be rendered at the exchequer during the war; and now the king has learned that the said distress is being unlawfully made, although they are joint tenants of the premises.
Jan. 20. Westminster.	To the treasurer and the barons of the exchequer. Writ of supersedeas, and order to discharge Robert de Brisyngham of 40s. of him demanded; as for that sum to be paid at the receipt of the exchequer, the king lately granted him the ancient trees in his forest in a place called 'Kyngeswodehethe' by Colcestre, sold by the treasurer of England, and after granted to Robert de Veer earl of Oxford the lordship of Colchestre with all appurtenances and profits, and the said forest and place are parcels of that lordship; and Robert de Brysyngham took no profit of the said trees, as Hugh Segrave late treasurer certified in chancery.
Jan. 22. Westminster.	To the treasurer and the barons of the exchequer. Writ of supersedeas until the quinzaine of St. John Baptist next, and order to release any distress made upon Richard Palmer to answer or account for the issues of the manor of Langedon; as lately the king granted the keeping of the manor to Matthew Swetenham one of the yeomen of his chamber and Katherine his wife for their lives, rendering yearly at the exchequer the value thereof, except 12 marks a year which it is the king's will to allow them for their lives of the issues thereof; and at the said Richard's suit by writ of scire facias a plea was after moved in chancery between the king, the said Matthew and Katherine and the said Richard concerning that manor, whether it ought to pertain to the king or to him the said Richard, which plea is yet pending without debate.
