assessed the damages at 413l. 3s. 4d., and for the costage of the
suit 30l., as in the recovery being in chancery of record appearith,
and discharging the said Simon, his executors and all sureties
and recognisances, made by reason of the said recovery in any
of the king's courts; by virtue of which act the chancellor hath
authority to proceed by examination whether the recovery be
untrue, and if so to deem it void, hath by great leisure and
deliberation both the said John and Simon their alligiances and
answers heard; and for asmuch as it appeareth by the showyng
of an indenture by the said John Cobbe, made 8 October, 33 Henry
VI, between John Cobbe and Peter Boremey merchant of Florence
that the said John sold unto the said Peter as many sacks of
wool as would draw to 905l. 13s. 4d., paying for every sack
4l. 13s. 4d., and it was agreed that he should take certain cloths

clothes with silver after the rate of the wools delivered, and the
said John confessyd that he delivered never both parcells of the
said sacks, wherefor he resceived parcell of the cloths in full
satisfaction, and Peter in London deliverid the residue of the
cloths to Everard de Salinatis, which were the cloths contained
in the declaration of John Cobbe against the said Simon, which
was never deliverid to the said John and so he had never no
property therein; also by his examination he made attach the
cloths, which was sent for by Stephen Forster then mayor of
London for divers plaints made to him, in so much as the mayor
commanded John Ayssh serjaunt to go to the said Everard
place in London and bring to him the same, and commanded
the said Simon to go with him and took him to the seid place,
and so he did; and when they came at the place they met with
Nicholas Rabata clerk to Everard, and John Ayssh askyd if he
had any such cloths, and he said yes, and John Ayssh told how
the mayor had sent for them, and commanded him in name of
the mayor to deliver them, and they went into a chamber where
the cloths were locked in a chest, and Nicholas opened the chest,
and took out the cloths himself, and delivered them to John
Ayssh, Simon being present, which John Ayssh brought the same
to the Guildhall before the mayor, and there the clothes abode
22 days or thereabout, and after were delivered by the mayor's
commandement to the said Nicholas, as he hath confessed, and
as appeared under the seal of the mayor and aldermen, and John
Ayssh confessed, and John Cobbe could not say nay to the
delivery of the cloths, and so it appearith that the recovery is
untrue, and John Cobbe confessed that the taking of the cloths
was never at Canterbury nother in Kent, but that it was done
by the said Simon was in London, whereby it appereth by his
confession the recovery to be untrue. English. |
