To the justices of the Bench. Order, upon petition of the plaintiffs, to proceed to rendering of judgment in the plea hereinafter
mentioned, notwithstanding the defendant's allegation and the king's
former command to proceed therein so that they should not proceed
to rendering judgment without advising the king; as upon petition
of Peter de Courtenay knight and Margaret his wife, reciting a fine
levied in the king's court at York in the octaves of St. Hilary 30
Edward I between William Avenell plaintiff and John de Drokenesforde clerk deforciant of the manor of Gamelegeye, 20 marks of
rent in Toft and Mordoun, and the advowsons of Landbeche church
and of a mediety of Gamelegey church, whereby the premises were
assured to the said William and to the heirs of his body to hold of
the said John and his heirs at a yearly rent of one rose, and likewise
the reversion of the manor of Wynepole, then held by John de Ludhurst and Agnes his wife as her dower of the heritage of John de
Drokenesforde, with remainder for lack of issue of the said William
to John de Drokenesforde and his heirs quit of other heirs of the said
William, and shewing that upon the averment of the said Peter and
Margaret, she being the cousin and heir of John de Drokenesforde,
that the said William died without issue, that John de Drokenesford
and Agnes are dead, and that Juliana daughter of Robert Bealknap
knight has entered and holds the premises contrary to the form of
the said fine, the king ordered the sheriff of Cantebrigge to give the
said Juliana notice to be before the justices at Westminster at a
day past, in order to shew cause wherefore the same ought not to
revert to the said Margaret as cousin and heir of John de Drokenesford, that at that day Peter and Margaret appeared by John Russell
their attorney and Juliana by Thomas Semelegh her guardian, and
not acknowledging that the said Margaret is heir of John
de Drokenesford, Juliana said that John de Bokyngham bishop of
Lincoln was seised of the premises, and demised the same to Robert
Bealknap knight and his assigns for fifteen years from 1 December
7 Richard II, and that on the morrow of St. Martin 8 Richard II
before the justices of the Bench levied a fine of the premises between
Robert son of John Avenell and the said Juliana plaintiffs and the
said bishop deforciant, whereby the reversion thereof after the said
term was assured to the said Robert son of John and Juliana and
to the heirs of their bodies, alleging further that by a judgment
rendered in the parliament holden at Westminster on the morrow of
the Purification 11 Richard II Robert Bealknap was adjudged to die,
and it was determined that all his goods and lands were forfeit to the
king, by virtue whereof the premises were by John Sybyle late
escheator seized into the king's hand as chattels of Robert Bealknap,
and are yet in his hand, wherefore the justices deferred to proceed,
the king commanded the justices to proceed that allegation notwithstanding, so that they should not proceed to rendering of judgment
without advising him; and the said Peter appearing after in person
in chancery and the said Margaret by John Russell her attorney
made petition to the king for judgment, shewing that a day was
given the parties in the octaves of St. Martin last, that the petitioners
then appeared by their attorney, and that the said Juliana came not,
whereupon William de Hornby, suing for the king, said that such
proceeding ought not to be taken, for that John de Drokenesford
had a sister named Joan who was married to Philip Crooke, and that
Philip and Joan had issue Joan who was married to the said William
Avenell, without that that John de Drokenesford had a brother named
Philip, as the petitioners alleged, and they, not acknowledging that
he had such a sister, said that he had a brother named Philip, as
they were ready to prove, craving an inquisition by the country,
wherefore a day was given them before the justices at Westminster
in the octaves of St. Hilary last, and the record and process in
chancery was sent for determination before them; and now the
plaintiffs' petition shews that it is found by a jury that John de
Drokenesford had a brother named Philip; and the serjeants at law
and William de Hornby, being summoned in chancery, can shew
no cause wherefore judgment ought not to be rendered. |

To the justices of the Bench. Order, upon petition of Hugh
Waleys, son and heir of John Waleys knight and of Alice his wife, to
proceed in the plea hereinafter mentioned, the defendant's allegation
notwithstanding, so that they proceed not to rendering of judgment
without advising the king; as his petition shews that in the quinzaine
of St. Hilary 28 Edward III a fine levied before the justices of the
Bench, and was recorded in the octaves of Michaelmas that year,
between the said John and Alice plaintiffs, by John de Ofham
attorney of Alice, and Master Godfrey Waleys clerk deforciant, of
the manors of Estraddoun, Colbroke, Farnhulle and Clauton and
the advowson of Cornewode church, whereof two thirds were then held
by Richard Bykelake and Margaret his wife for the life of Margaret,
and one third by John de Chalfham for the life of Eleanor who was
wife of Augustine de Bathe of the deforciant's heritage, all with
reversion to the deforciant and to his heirs, whereby the reversion
was assured to the said John and Alice and to the heirs of their
bodies, with remainder to the right heirs of the said John, shewing
that John and Alice are dead, that the said Margaret lately died,
and that Philip de Mestede knight has now entered and holds two
thirds of the said manor of Clauton contrary to the form of the
said fine, that process being continued the said Philip has alleged
that he [arraigned] an assize of novel disseisin against Thomas Bret
and Eleanor his wife concerning the manor of Clauton, whereof
those two thirds are parcel, before Robert Tresilian and his fellows
late justices of assize in Devon, that the said Robert deferred and
refused to proceed until the said Philip should make promise and
oath to make a feoffment of the premises after recovery thereof to
certain persons to the use of the said Robert, that after recovery he
made a feoffment accordingly, that the said manor was seized into
the king's hand as forfeit to the king, among other lands of the said
Robert, by reason of a judgment against him rendered in the parliament lately holden at Westminster, and that because the said Robert
before his death made public and express confession that he unlawfully held that manor contrary to the said Philip's will, for conscience
sake desiring of his own motion that the charters and evidences
concerning the same, which were in the custody of John Bodelli late
clerk of the said Robert, should be delivered to the said Philip, with
assent and advice of the council the king gave the manor to the said
Philip, his heirs and assigns, to hold as before the said forfeiture,
and alleged that he had the same of the king's gift, and without the
king might not answer, wherefore the justices have deferred to
proceed. |

and that Thomas de Lokton, knowing not that any forfeiture was
adjudged against his said son, on the feast of the Purification 10
Richard II entered the premises by reason of non-payment of the
said farm for Whitsuntide and Martinmas terms then last, taking
the issues and profits since the forfeiture; and after deliberation with
the justices, serjeants at law and others of the council learned in the
law, proclamation was made in chancery for any who would give the
king and council information wherefore livery of the premises ought
not to be given to the said Thomas, and no man appeared, wherefore
it was determined that livery should be given him with the issues
aforesaid. |

To Thomas Kemp escheator in Kent. Order to give Thomas
Halle and Ellen his wife seisin of her purparty of 18 acres of
marsh in Clyve called 'Medmerssh,' certifying in chancery all
that he shall do; as upon the finding of an inquisition, of
Wednesday after St. Botolph 49 Edward III, that Margaret daughter
and one of the heirs of Robert Ram, who took the habit of religion
of St. Benedict at Hedyngham co. Essex, wherein she was professed
in 47 Edward III, at her profession held the said marsh of the
barony of Leybourne castle by knight service, that the same descended to Joan late wife of Stephen de Delham and Alice then wife of
Robert Freman her sisters and heirs, that Stephen and Joan died
about the Purification last, that the purparty of the said Joan ought
to descend to Joan whom Alexander de Barton has now taken to
wife and to the said Ellen, being her daughters and heirs, both then
within age, that the said Alexander proved the age of Joan his wife
before John Brode of Smethe late escheator, and the king took his
fealty, and ordered that escheator in presence of the heirs and parceners or of their attorneys to make a partition of 9 acres of the said
marsh into two equal parts, to keep in his hand the purparty of the
said Ellen until her lawful age, and to give Alexander and Joan
seisin of her purparty; and Thomas Halle, who has now taken the
said Ellen to wife, proved her age before the said late escheator, and
by reason of issue between them begotten the king has taken his
homage and fealty. By p.s. [6047.] |

To the collectors of customs and subsidies in the port of Sandewich.
Order, upon petition of Nicholas Marchand of Berkynge, to suffer
him without payment of custom or subsidy by himself or his servants
to take four sarplers of damaged (debilis) wool where he will within
the realm in order to make his advantage thereof; as his complaint
shews that certain merchants of England cast forth those sarplers
from their better wool, being of little or no value, before they were
weighed, customed or shipped, sold them to the petitioner for an
agreed sum, and would have delivered them, but that the collectors
are unlawfully hindering him from taking them whither he will
within the realm, demanding custom and subsidy thereupon as if
they were to be taken over [sea] and customed. |

on Monday after St. Lucy 32 Edward III gave the said messuage
