Richard II before William de Walworth then mayor of the staple
of Westminster deputed to take recognisances of debts therein, payable
at Christmas then next and not yet paid it is said, and to certify in
chancery on the morrow of the Assumption next how he should
execute that writ; as by his petition presented before the king and
council the said John has now shewn that lately in the time of the
insurrection a house of the said Thomas was by the rebels cast down,
the damage thereof not exceeding 10 marks, that Thomas, scheming
of malice falsely to aggrieve the petitioner and many others of the
people of those parts, charged them with the destruction thereof,
though they are not guilty, and prosecuted his suit against them
with so much rancour that by duress, threats and the fear of death
they were compelled severally to make recognisances of the statute
staple for divers sums to him payable, that contrary to his oath to
trouble none save such as were guilty, the said Thomas after prosecuted his suit against the petitioner and others so bound, causing
them to be imprisoned etc., until by extortion and oppression he
levied of them 200 marks, and that complaint being made to the
king in the parliament last holden at Salisbury, the said Thomas
was sworn before certain lords to make them amends, and thereafter to
prosecute no suit against them by colour of such recognisances or any
other cause above mentioned, that appearing in person before the
king and council the said Thomas did not gainsay the charge laid
against him, that those recognisances were made by reason of the
trespass aforesaid and of no other cause or contract, nor other the
premises being likewise shewn and fully declared, shewing that in
a statute made in the parliament holden at Westminster on Monday
in the third week of Lent 6 Richard II, for cherishing peace within
the realm and cutting off strife, it was ordered and agreed with assent
of the prelates, lords and great men that any person who should feel
aggrieved by reason of any trespass committed in the said insurrection, and should purpose to sue thereupon, should begin his suit
before the quinzaine of Midsummer then next, or be for ever barred,
but that the said Thomas is now unlawfully suing execution of the
said 20l. of the lands and chattels of the petitioner, contrary to that
statute; and John Chekewelle and John Cady, both of Manytre,
have mainperned in chancery for the petitioner, that at any day set
by the king or council he shall be ready upon reasonable warning
to answer the said Thomas, whom with assent of the council the king
has committed to the Flete prison until he shall find a mainprise
under pain of 1,000 marks to have him before the council at a day
to be likewise appointed in order to answer the king and the
petitioner. By C. |
