To the mayor and bailiffs of York. Whereas the statute of Winchester
in the time of Edward I. ordained the keeping of watch and ward and the
treatment of vagrants, and in the statute of Northampton passed in the
2nd year of the king's reign, it was ordained that no one except a minister
of the king should use armed force or go armed in fairs, markets, etc. under
pain of loss of his arms and imprisonment during pleasure, and in the
statute of Westminster, in the 5th year of the king's reign, it was ordained
that suspected persons should be arrested and delivered to the bailiffs or
sheriffs, to be kept in prison until the coming of the justices; and now the
king has learned that several malefactors and disturbers of the peace, not
respecting these statutes, making assemblies and illicit gatherings both by
day and night in York, its suburbs and neighbourhood, go about armed and
lie in wait for those coming and going to and from that city, and staying
there, both the king's ministers and other lieges, and beat, wound and rob
them; and not content with this, they have gone by night to the hotel of
Master Robert de Ayleston, the treasurer in that city, in whose custody are
the treasures, jewels and other secret memoranda of the treasury, and to the
king's wardrobe, in a great multitude with armed force, and have broken the
doors of the hotel and wardrobe, insulted the treasurer and the king's men,
and feloniously taken and carried away the jewels and other secret things as
far as they were able (pro viribus satagendo), and they daily commit like
evils in the said city and suburbs, for which things the mayor and bailiffs
have applied no remedy, as they ought, and because the king does not wish
such crimes to remain unpunished, chiefly because the chancery, exchequer
and Common Bench are now in that city and the people are daily coming to
the city for that cause, the king therefore orders the mayor and bailiffs to
arrest all such malefactors without delay and imprison them at York, so that
none of them may be released without the king's order, and to find out by
inquisition the names of such malefactors and of those who harbour them,
and to arrest all those who are found guilty, and likewise keep them in
prison, so that the king may not have to complain of the negligence of the
mayor and bailiffs. |
