crossing to parts beyond. Order to be before the king in chancery on the
morrow of Hilary next to inform the king and council why 7 sarplars of
the wool of Bernard Pouche and Richard atte Ware, arrested by him at
Faversham, should not be dearrested and delivered to Bernard and Richard,
and further to do and receive what shall be ordained by the council, as by
inquisition taken by William de Clynton, earl of Huntingdon, late constable of Dover castle and warden of the Cinque Ports, it is found that the
7 sarplars were ordained to be taken to London and not to parts beyond,
wherefore Bernard and Richard have besought the king to cause the wool
to be dearrested and delivered to them. |

To the sheriffs of London. Order to release John de Brigham of London from Neugate gaol by a mainprise, as he is imprisoned there for taking
non-customed wool out of England to parts beyond the seas, whereof he
was convicted before Robert Parvyng and his fellows, late justices appointed
to enquire concerning such wool in that city, and he has found before the
king in chancery William Trussel, knight, of co. Northampton, William
Strugge of co. Wilts, John Walshe of co. Devon and Laurence de Wynton
of London, who have undertaken to have him before the king in chancery
on the octaves of Hilary next, to do and receive what shall then be determined by the king and his council. By C. |
Nov. 20. Westminster. |
To the justices of the Bench. Thomas de Bello Campo, earl of Warwick, has shown the king that whereas the manor of Countassethorp, co.
Warwick, is held immediately of the earl from time out of mind, Hugh de
Lodbrok, who held it for life of Thomas de Shulton and others to whom
the manor ought to remain after Hugh's death, by a fine levied in the
king's court, and John de Ledbrok, scheming to deprive the earl of his right
and suggesting in chancery that the manor is held in chief, fraudulently
obtained a writ called Precipe in capite under John's name against Hugh
and Thomas de Shulton, who was ignorant thereof, contrary to Magna
Carta, which provides that such writs shall be made to no one of any free
tenement whereof a free man loses his court, returnable on a day now past,
and procured an unknown person who was admitted under the name of
Richard de Swanewell as the attorney of Hugh and Thomas, and thus John by
such contriving has recovered by process before the justices, whereupon the
earl has besought the king to provide a remedy; the king thereupon orders
the justices to hear the earl's plaint, and after calling Hugh, John and
others before them and taking an inquisition if necessary, to do further
what is right for the earl upon the said collusion and deceit. |
Dec 29. Westminster. |
To the sheriff of Lincoln. Order to take security from John de Kyme of
Waynflet, merchant of that county, to be before the king in chancery on
the morrow of Epiphany next, to answer the king and John Bole and
further to do and receive what shall be ordained by the council, as John
Bole, a merchant of Bruges in Flanders, has shown the king that he was
one of the envoys last sent to the king from Flanders to England on certain
affairs; and John de Kyme, while he was thus employed, went to Bruges
to his wife and sergeants, received merchandise to the value of 300l. on loan
and bound himself to pay that sum to John Bole at the feast of St. Nicholas,
at Boston, and although John Bole came to England before that feast to
receive payment, and has remained there hitherto, John de Kyme has not
yet paid him but is hiding in the county, seeking to defraud him, whereupon
John Bole has besought the king to provide a remedy. |
