To the sheriff of Kent. Order to supersede until the octaves of Trinity
next the levying of the portions touching divers barons of the Cinque Ports
of a fine of 1,000l. which the community of the county made for the
cessation of an eyre of the justices last appointed there, so that it may be
discussed whether answer for the same ought to be made by the barons or
by the community aforesaid, or until further order, provided that answer is
made to the king for the residue of all that fine, as the community of the
county have besought the king to order the levying of that portion to be
superseded for a certain time, so that the matter may be discussed by the
king and council, as divers barons of the Cinque Ports, dwelling in the
county, were assessed at a portion of that fine for certain lands which they
hold in the county without the liberty of the ports, which fine the
king ordered to be levied by the sheriff, and by pretext of a writ afterwards
sent to the sheriff at the suggestion of the barons, containing that they
were not part of that fine, by virtue of the liberties granted to them, and
directing the sheriff not to molest them for that fine, the sheriff causes that
portion to be levied of the community. By C. |
