To John Knyvet. Order, if assured by inquisition or otherwise
that Thomas de Arden knight, abiding over seas upon the king's
service in the company of Edward prince of Aquitaine and Wales,
is the same person who is by the name of Thomas de Ardern indicted
before the said John and his fellows, justices appointed to hear and
determine divers trespasses and mischiefs committed against Thomas
earl of Warrewyk in divers places in Warwickshire, and is for that
reason put in exigents in that county to be outlawed, to command
a stay of the exigents against him, and of the publication of outlawry
until 13 February next, and after to command proceedings to go on,
if he shall not appear, making allowance of the county courts wherein
he has so been in exigents towards the publication of such outlawry,
and bringing this writ before himself and his fellows on the day the
writ of exigents is returnable; as on 13 February last the king by
letters patent to last for one year took the said Thomas de Arden
knight under his protection, his men, lands, property, rents and
possessions, and it is the king's will that he be quit of all pleas and
plaints, except pleas of dower whereof he has nought, of quare
impedit, novel disseisin and last presentation, and except attaints
and causes summoned before justices in eyre upon their eyre; and
on behalf of the said Thomas it is shewn the king that, though he is
abiding over seas as aforesaid so that he may not come before the
said justices to answer for the trespasses whereof he is indicted by
the name of Thomas de Ardern it is said, he is nevertheless put in
exigents in the said county to be outlawed, contrary to the said
letters patent, praying remedy for him in that behalf. |

To the sheriff of Warrewyk. Order (as above) to stay the exigents
against Thomas de Arden knight and the publication of outlawry
against him until 13 February next, bringing this writ before the
justices above mentioned on the day the writ of exigents is returnable
etc. (as above.) |

To the sheriff of Norhampton. Order to set free William Karlell
of Pokebroke from the prison of Norhampton castle by the mainprise
of Thomas de Thelwall the king's clerk, parson of Pokebroke, and
Richard Palmer of Pokebroke co. Norhampton, bringing this writ
in chancery three weeks after Easter next; as in the statute concerning jurors lately published it is contained that, if in taking assizes,
juries or other inquisitions between the king and another, or between
one party and another, any man take aught by himself or others from
plaintiff or defendant for giving his verdict, and be thereof convicted
by process according to the statute at the suit of a party for the king
or for himself, or of any who will sue in that behalf, every such juror
shall pay tenfold what he so took, whereof one moiety shall go to the
king and the other to the party suing, so that no justice or minister
of the king shall have power to make inquisition of his office upon this
head, but only at the suit of one or other party; and now it is shewn
the king on behalf of the said William that he with other jurors was
put upon an inquisition taken at Norhampton by writ of nisi prius
before Thomas de Ingelby and John Cavendish justices of assize in
that county touching a writ of quare impedit obtained by Roger de
Elinerigge before the justices of the Bench against William Latymer
concerning the presentation to the church of Burton, and by inquisition
taken before the said justices was convicted of having taken for his
verdict 10s. of the plaintiff and 6s. 8d. of the defendant, and is for that
cause unlawfully detained in the said prison in custody of the sheriff,
wherefore hs has prayed for remedy; and the said Thomas and
Richard have mainperned in chancery to have his body there before
the king on the day above named to content the king of the penalty
in the said statute appointed, if it shall then be adjudged that he
is liable for the same, and to do and receive what the court shall
therein determine. |
