To the sheriff of Stafford. Order, upon the petition of Ralph
de Daventre clerk of the diocese of London, by mainprise of Richard de
Grafton, John Pride, Thomas de Parys and Hugh de Acton of Salop
to set him free from prison, bringing his writ before the king in
chancery; as at the information of W. bishop of London, signifying
that the said Ralph is by the bishop's authority as ordinary excommunicated for contumacy and will not be justified by ecclesiastical
censure, the king lately ordered the sheriff to justify him according
to the custom of England until holy church should be contented
for the contempt and wrong by him done; but the said Ralph made
a lawful appeal to the see of Rome and for protection of the court of
Canterbury from that sentence as unjust, as appears by notarial
instrument produced in chancery, and has now prayed the king to
be set free, shewing that by colour of the king's command he is
imprisoned in Stafford prison; and it is the king's will that he should
not be debarred by force (via) from prosecuting his appeal in form
of law, especially as such writ proceeds of the king's favour, and
the estate of the appellant ought to be unimpaired; and the said
Richard and the others have mainperned in chancery body for body
to have him before the king in chancery in the quinzaine of Easter,
which day the king has given to the bishop, in order to stand to right
in the premises, and further to do and receive what the court shall
determine. |
