Gilbert and William, and thereby giving them notice that by

justice touching any right or title they have therein, and certifying

as learning that the said Gilbert and William with no small number

strong hand to thrust out Joan who was wife of Richard Vernoun
knight from possession thereof, in contempt of the king, contrary

there, the king appointed William Neuport knight, Rees ap

the siege thereof; and now the king is informed that Gilbert and
William Gamage, having full notice of those commissioners'
purpose, gathered together so great a multitude of armed men and
archers there to hinder the execution of their commission, that the
commissioners dared not for their lives repair thither, and that
the commission has remained unexecuted, in contempt of the king
and breach of the peace; and the king's will is not to leave such

the prayer of the said Thomas, submitting that owing to partiality
for John Cole their extent and appraisement were too high, by
another writ the king ordered the sheriffs to give the extenders
livery thereof, the goods by their appraisement, and the tenement
by their extent as their freehold, as by statute it used heretofore
to be done in such a case, until he should levy thereof his debt,
damages and costs, so that the extenders should answer to him for
24l. 9s. 1d. in part payment thereof, and should yearly answer to
him for the said extent until all should be paid, and nevertheless
to take and imprison the said Juliana until she should content
him thereof; but the said Thomas has appeared in chancery, and

29l. net, and that John Cole and Juliana are ready, they say, to
content him of 4l. 10s. 11d. over and above 24l. 9s. 1d. at which

To the treasurer and the barons of the exchequer. Writ of
supersedeas until the return of an inquisition to be taken on behalf
of the king, and until further order, in respect of a plea pending
in the exchequer at suit of Nicholas Gwyn prior of the alien priory
of Andevere co. Suthampton, for the king and for himself, against
Master Simon Sydenham, Master Edward Prentys and others for
carrying away at Andevere trees and underwood of a coppice in
a place within the forest of Andevere and Chuyt called Fynkele,
which coppice was lately sold to the king's use, and those trees
etc. were by his vendor assigned for tithe of the coppice, and
pertained to the prior as parson of Andevere as they say, wherein
the said defendants, as canons of the church of St. Mary Salisbury,
have alleged that the trees etc. assigned for tithe ought to pertain
to the dean and chapter of Salisbury in right of their church, as
such tithe used to do time out of mind; and now the plea has
so far proceeded that an inquisition or panel named by the prior
is returned into the exchequer to the issue between the parties,
namely whether the said place is within the prior's parish or no,
and the men of the town of Andevere, who have borne the cost
and charge of the plea on behalf of the prior it is said, and of
whom that part of the panel consists, are claiming common of
pasture upon all the soil within that parish, and so are hoping, if
the inquisition should pass in favour of the prior, by fraud to have
such common in Fynkele, which is the king's chief hay of that
forest and as it were his chamber there, wherein no person used
heretofore to have any common, or ought to have any it is said,
which would tend to disherison of the king and crown; and the
king's will is to resist such craft, and for preserving his right to
make inquisition touching the premises, and to be fully certified
thereupon before it proceed further. By K. and C. |
