de Fulthorp knight, Robert Thurnef,' Richard Pynge chaplain and
John Nicholson before Ralph de Eure and his fellows the bishop's
justices of assize in that county, the allegation of William de
Fulthorp notwithstanding, so that they proceed not to rendering
of judgment without advising the king; as the said William
appeared in person, Robert Thurnef' by Thomas de Fulthorp his
attorney, and the other defendants appeared not, but Richard
Beverley answered for them as their bailiff, and the said William
as tenant of the tenements put in view averred that they are all
in Herdwyke and Butterwyke, that the late king by letters
patent produced, dated Redynge 11 December 13 Richard II,
with assent of the great council gave the premises among other
lands, which were of Roger de Fulthorp his father and came to
that king's hands by his father's forfeiture, to the said William,
his heirs and assigns, covenanting that if the same or any parcel
thereof should without fraud or covin be recovered, or they should
be evicted therefrom, due recompense should be made them by
that king or his heirs, and said that he is tenant thereof by grant of
the late king, craving aid of the king, wherefore those justices

To the treasurer and the barons of the exchequer. Order,
upon petition of Robert Claydoun the king's clerk late keeper of
the hanaper of chancery, to view and examine his account from
1 October 11 Henry IV to 17 August following, and if they shall
find that he is charged with 103s. 4d. for the fines hereinafter
mentioned, and that answer was made for the same, to discharge
him thereof, although inserted twice over in the Original; as his
petition shews that he charged himself with 10s. for a fine made
22 January that year by William Yeuerslay and Elizabeth his
wife, 6s. 8d. for a fine made 10 January by John Page citizen and
merchant of Norwich, 13s. 4d. for a fine made 20 March by
Elmyng Leget and Alice his wife, 6s. 8d. for a fine made that day
by Eleanor who was wife of Amery de Sancto Amando lord of

4 marks for a fine made 18 March by Philip Holman and John
Swaldale, and 6s. 8d. for a fine made 8 June last by Roger Chesterfelde chaplain for certain writs, amounting to 103s. 4d., and that
because by inadvertence those fines are inserted twice over in the
Original of chancery delivered in the exchequer, the treasurer and
the barons are minded to charge him a second time therewith as
if they were different fines, which they are not; and by view of
the rolls the king is assured that the first enrolments of the writs,
which because of insufficiency were after corrected and enrolled
anew under the first dates and for the same fines, are therein
cancelled. |
