ordinance to be observed and full and speedy justice to be done to the
parties complaining, notwithstanding any previous orders to the contrary
so that no one may have cause hereafter to complain for lack of justice, as
certain lieges of the community of Ireland have shown the king that whereas
they have sustained several damages for a great while because their lands
have been taken into the king's hand without reasonable cause in name of
distraint because of trespass or alienation without licence, and they have not
been able to recover possession thereof, although they duly sued before the
justiciary, chancellor and others of the council in that land, and also because
errors which are pretended to have occurred in the records and processes of
pleas held before the justices and other courts and places in that land and in
the rendering of judgments, cannot be corrected in the parliaments in that
land, nor can justice be otherwise done without seeking a remedy in England,
whereby they are reduced to great misery and want through the labour and
expense entailed and some are completely disinherited, wherefore those
lieges have besought the king to provide a remedy, the king has therefore
ordained that full justice according to the law and custom of England and
of Ireland shall be done for all lands in Ireland taken into the king's hand
by the justices, escheators, or other ministers without an order under
the king's seal, to those who will sue before the justiciary and chancellor
for those lands out of the king's hand by due and lawful process, notwithstanding any previous orders to the contrary under the great or privy seal
of England, and at the suit of all who wish to complain of errors in
records and processes before any justices or other ministers, the rolls of
those records and processes shall be brought into the parliaments to be held
in that land by the justices or ministers concerned and shall there be
diligently examined and any errors found therein duly corrected. |
