To the bailiffs of Great Yarmouth. Order to desist from arresting
herrings, fish, or victuals belonging to merchants of foreign parts and from
arresting their boats during the fishery season, as the king has received
complaints from men of that town that, on account of certain of the king's
orders to the said bailiffs to arrest goods of merchants of parts beyond sea
at the suit of certain English merchants, who had been robbed by malefactors of those parts, and to keep them under safe custody until the said
merchants had been satisfied, the fishermen of the parts aforesaid, by whose
fishing the fairs of the said town were wont to be principally maintained
during the fishing time, dare not come to Yarmouth with their boats or
ships and dare not there fish, but withdraw themselves from that port for
fear of arrest, to the damage of the said fairs and of the community of the
said town and the parts adjoining. They are to restore any such boats
that they may have arrested, provided the fishermen to whom they belong
are not guilty or suspected of the aforesaid robberies and have done no
injury to the king's merchants or men. They are to make arrest of other
goods of merchants of those parts, according to the king's orders. By p.s. |

now, however, petition is made to the king by divers merchants of the above
towns and elsewhere in Almain whom the said sheriff has arrested that,
since they are not guilty of the said robbery, the king would cause them
