To William Scot and his fellows, justices of assize in co. Sussex. Whereas
the king ordered them to continue the assize of novel disseisin which John

staying in the king's service in parts beyond the sea, and others contained
in the original writ, concerning tenements in Sidlesham, in the state in
which it then was, while Richard was in the said service or until further
order, in accordance with the ordinance, by reason of which order they
continued the said assize until their next session in that county, yet because
the king has learned from trustworthy testimony that Richard returned to
England long before the last day of the last session and is in co. Sussex on
the day of the session and pursuing his own affairs, the king orders William
and his fellows to proceed to take that assize and render justice to the parties,
notwithstanding the said order. By C. |

To Robert fitz Payn, John Inge, John Mauduyt of Somerford, Walter de
Rodeneye and Simon Fourneaux. Whereas the king—on hearing the
grave plaint of Thomas de Marleberge that whereas he was appointed to
preserve the king's peace in co. Somerset, to sell the ninth of sheaves,
fleeces and lambs lately granted there and to collect the king's wool there,
with other lieges, Ralph de Middelneye, knight, John de Middelneye, parson
of Corryvel church, Thomas de Middelneye, Walter le Venour, Stephen le
Taillour and other malefactors attacked Thomas in the execution of that
commission at Braynton near Southfederton, beat, wounded and ill treated
him, so that his life was despaired of, and took his goods and chattels
found there to the value of 40l., and carried them away, and attacked his
men and serjeants there, wounding, beating and maltreating them, whereby
Thomas lost their services for a great while, and committed other outrages
on him—appointed Robert and the others, four, three or two of them,
John Inge being one, to be justices to take inquisition on the matter by the
oath of lawful men of the said county, concerning the names of the malefactors who were engaged with Ralph and the others, and to hear and
determine the said trespasses; but because the king is now informed that
Thomas de Marleberge and Ralph make assemblies of armed men for that
cause, in a warlike manner, whereby commotions may arise among the
people of those parts while the king is absent from the realm in parts
beyond the sea, and that Ralph and the others did not beat Thomas or
his serjeants or do any other harm to them; the king, considering that the
appointment to hear and determine the said trespass is contrary to the form
of the statute providing that such writs of oyer and terminer shall only be
granted in cases of serious trespass, orders Robert and the others to
supersede the execution of the said appointment, until more complete
deliberation has been taken thereupon with those of the council. |

supersede the demand for that ninth and fifteenth made on the barons and
men of the Cinque Ports and of their liberty until the quinzaine of Easter
