November 1336



Nov. 24. Stirling.	To the sheriff of Lincoln. Order to supersede the taking of William son of William Costard, of Lincoln, excommunicated for contumacy against H. bishop of Lincoln, because William has found before the king in chancery John de Cokeryngton and Robert de Staynes, of co. York, mainpernors, who have undertaken to have him before the king in chancery on the morrow of Hilary, to do and receive what the king's court shall consider in this respect, as the king ordered the sheriff to take William and judge him according to the custom of England, because he appealed against the bishop's sentence as unjust, and the king ordered the sheriff to make known to Ralph de Strubby, at whose instance the sentence against William was passed, to be before the king in chancery on the morrow of Hilary, which day the king has given to William, to show cause why the execution of the writ for taking William should not be superseded pending the said appeal.
