July 16. Greenwich.	14. Lord Robert Dudley, Sir Wm. Cecil, and Sir Edw. Rogers, Lords of the Council, to Sir John White, lord mayor of London. We send you enclosed the request of a Frenchman named Bryart, complaining of Dunstone Anes, a Portuguese, who, under colour of being the Queen's grocer, would put him out of his house. We pray you to call the parties before you, and finding it as pretended, to take order that no colour of Her Majesty's service wrongs the Frenchman, and give such final order that the party complain no more hither; or, if there be not right on the Frenchman's side, certify the same to us, to be answered him upon further complaint.

July 16. Greenwich.	14. i. Petition of Peter Bryart, merchant of Rouen, to the Council. Because of his religion, was forced to fly for his life, and lost all his goods, cattle, and lands, and dares not return thither, as he has trafficked most of his life in London. Has, by the aid of the worshipful of London, procured a broker's office, and sent for his wife and nine children; and finding a small fit house in the parish of St. Katherine Coleman's, wherein Mr. Pye, Her Majesty's joiner dwelt, he concluded with Rich. Stondley, one of the four tellers who held Pye's interest, for a lease of the house and garden for 10 years, and spent much money thereon. Subsequently Dunstone Anes, a Portuguese, came to Stondley, and under colour of being the Queen's grocer, threatened to turn him out, which will be his ruin, and Stondley can find other and much better houses to serve Her Majesty; prays that he may continue to enjoy his lease, according to law and justice.
