August 1604

Aug. 15. 56. Petition of Archibald Moore to the King, in recompense of service, for the reversion to a pension of 3s. 4d. a day, granted to John Gilsons. With report by the Earl of Devonshire, in favour of the petitioner, as well deserving it for services in Ireland. [½ page.]
Aug. 16. 57. The King to Richard, Bishop of Chester, Sir Rich. Lewknor, Chief Justice, Sir Wm. Brereton, Sir Thos. Aston, and John Ireland. Peter Torbocke has lately framed a boat, to travel upon the river Weaver, co. Chester, for his own private gain, to the great annoyance of our subjects, and we doubt whether the passage of the boat may not be prejudicial and hurtful to us, as the river runs along the bounds of our forest of Delamere, wherein he may do both us and them hurt, besides the bearing down and overthrowing of the weirs and fishing in the river, in building of which our subjects have bestowed great costs, and have kept the same time out of mind.
We therefore authorise you to examine whether the river has been navigable heretofore, and whether the passage of the boat may be prejudicial; also to command not only Peter Torbocke, but all others who shall travel with boats on the river, not to pass above Frodsham bridge, except that such as have weirs or fishing in the river may pass and travel with their fishing boats, every man within his own limits, until our pleasure be further known therein. [¾ page, draft.]
Aug. 18. 58. Bond of Roger Tuerloot, parish of Nicholas Acon, and John le Clarke, of St. Helen's, Bishopsgate, merchant strangers, in 400l., to Dr. Thos. Neville, Dean of Canterbury, that Anne De Brune, alias Anne Browne, next of kin to Jocosa, alias Josayne Baecke, late of St. Helen's, Bishopsgate, London, shall make and exhibit in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury a perfected inventory of her goods, chattels, and debts, pay the debts, and administer to the estate; the residue to be disposed of at discretion of the judge of the Court. Also that she deliver up her letters of administration, in case a will be found. [2½ pages, copy collated by Edm. Woodhall, Registrar.]
Aug. ? 59. The King to Lord St. John. We hear that since our leaving Bletsoe, your son has hunted with a kennel of hounds, and killed a stag, which is strange, as he could not but know that we are careful of the game, and found the number of deer less than we expected; not that we would have misliked your hunting in your own wood, had you acquainted us therewith, knowing that you may so order it as to have your own recreation, and yet have enough for our pleasure when we come thither; but the present fact is strange, because we had said that on coming to Ashby, we should hunt in those woods. We have also heard that another stag has been driven to bay in Huntingdonshire. We wish to speak with you about these facts, before leaving the county, either here or at Woodstock. Endorsed, "Letter to the Lord St. John and Lord Deputy, Mr. Knight." [1 page, draft. Endorsed with the address of John Marquis of Brandenburgh.]
