king's compassion, upon petition of Richard de Kirkebride knight and
his fellows, collectors in Cumberland of the moiety of a tenth and
fifteenth granted to the king in the parliament holden at Westminster
in 10 Richard II, amounting as they aver to 124l. 12s. 2½d., to have
regard to the ruin of great number of towns and hamlets there by
attacks of the king's enemies of France and Scotland, and to put
the collectors at a light and not excessive fine for their contempt in
not appearing before the treasurer etc. at a day set to render their
account; and when the fine is paid, writ of supersedeas in respect of
their demand upon the collectors to answer for that contempt, and
order to discharge them, releasing any distress and attachment made
for that cause; as the collectors have shewn the king that at his
command by virtue of letters of the privy seal and of a tally levied
in the receipt of the exchequer, which they have with them to produce
upon their account, they paid thereof 100l. to Ralph de Neville and
Thomas de Clifford knights then keepers of the castle and town of
Karliol, and that they may not levy of the said towns and hamlets
certain sums which used to be paid at every such grant. By C. |
