Hugh had and used all the liberties all his life, and Walter, his son and

Richard son of Ranulph appealed Robert Omalroni of the death of his

To J. archbishop of Canterbury. Hugh de Dygneneton and John de
Hatton, bailiffs of Suthwerk, have shown the king that whereas they
lately attached Alan Panyot, the king's man, in the king's lay-fee in Suthwerk, for certain trespasses, according to the duty of their office, as they
had been wont to do heretofore, as they are prepared to aver before the king,
the archbishop, asserting that the cognisance of pleas of such attachments
pertain to the ecclesiastical jurisdiction, draws the bailiffs in plea in court
christian before him, and has caused sentence of excommunication to be
fulminated against them, in order that he may thus usurp to himself what
has hitherto been the king's; since pleas of feudalities (feodalibus) and
liberties of feudalities and of secular things whatsoever granted by the king
or his progenitors to persons or dignities are and have been wont to be of the
king's jurisdiction, and the king is prepared to do justice to the archbishop
if he or his men wish to complain of the said bailiffs, he prohibits the
archbishop from drawing the bailiff in plea before him concerning the
premises by any sentences or ecclesiastical coercions, because such pleas
pertain to the king's crown and dignity, and he orders him to cause any
sentences promulgated against the bailiffs to be revoked without delay.
