To the sheriffs of London. Order to set free John Compton
of Bristol 'mercer' imprisoned in Neugate prison; as at his
mother's petition the king granted to Alice wife of John More, who
by reason of a judgment against him rendered forfeited all his lands,
goods and debts, the debts then due to her husband, to the end
she might pay what he owed, and might have the residue (if any)
for her maintenance and maintenance of her husband and children
without rendering aught to the king, by writ ordering the sheriffs
to deliver to her any such debts before them recovered; and the
sheriffs certified that long before they received that writ the said John
Cumpton was committed to prison for 18l. 10s. 4d. which at a court
holden before John Organ one of the sheriffs on Wednesday after
Michaelmas last he acknowledged that he owed to the said John
More upon a plea of debt on a plaint by the said Alice in her husband's
name for certain contracts between the parties long before the said
judgment, as by her counting she averred; and after she came before
the sheriffs craving his deliverance, and averring that he had contented
her of all that debt, and the sheriffs have deferred to set him free
for that they were not fully informed whether they ought to do so
or no. |
