To the sheriff of Cambridge. Order to supersede the taking of Henry
de Harouden, by a mainprise, as Henry has besought the king to cause
the taking of him to be superseded by sufficient security, as William de
Wevelyngham impleads Henry and certain others before the justices of the
Bench to render to William their reasonable account for the time when
they were receivers of his money, and the plea was so proceeded with
that the sheriff was ordered by the king's writ of judgment, returnable
before the justices on the quinzaine of Michaelmas next, to take Henry to
render the said account to William, because the sheriff returned before the
justices that Henry was not found and had nothing in that bailiwick
whereby he could be distrained, and Henry is ready to answer William
upon the said account on the said day and to stand to right thereupon; and
he has found the following mainpernors before the king in chancery, to
wit: Master Nicholas de Lodelowe and Robert Douce of Waldegrave,
co. Northampton, who have undertaken to have him before the justices on
the said quinzaine to answer William thereupon and to do and receive what
the king's court shall determine. By C. |

Perth. |
To John de Shardelowe, William de Trumpyton, Simon de Grunne (sic) and
Geoffrey Seman. Whereas the king appointed them to be justices to hear
and determine certain trespasses done to William de Wevelyngham by
Henry de Haroudon, John de Shepeden, Ralph de Holebech, Nicholas de
Haneworth, John de Repperes, and Edmund de Leukenore at Cambridge,
and although the chancellor of that university for the time being according
to the statuies, privileges and liberties confirmed and approved by the king
and his progenitors, which the chancellor and scholars of the university
have hitherto used and enjoyed, is bound and is wont to imprison all delinquents in the university, where a scholar is one of the parties, for the
conservation of the peace and tranquillity of the university and for the
punishment of such delinquents, to be detained until he demanded them,
and William, while he was a scholar of the said university, as a perturber
of the peace and quiet of the university, was condemned to prison by the
chancellor and others of the university by reason of certain delicts perpetrated by him there, and was afterwards sent to prison by the said Henry,
chancellor of the university at the time of his substitution in that office,
following what was rightly done by his predecessor according to the duty
of his office and the oath taken by him in the substitution of that office;
yet William has impleaded before those justices, the chancellor and Nicholas,
now proctor of the university, John, Ralph and Edmund, because they had
taken and imprisoned him at Cambridge by force and arms and had taken
and carried away his goods and chattels found there to the value of
100 marks, and had inflicted other wrongs upon him, as if that imprisonment
had been done maliciously and by force and arms against the king's peace,
upon which pretext there is great commotion in the university and people
of those parts and dissensions and discords begin to arise between the
scholars and laity of Cambridge, who encourage and maintain William as
one of their own against the scholars, and the scholars desert study and are
compelled to attend to strife and dissensions against such snares, and greater
evils may happen between the magnates of the realm and others having
their children, and others united to them by relationship, unless a remedy
is quickly applied; and the king, considering that all in the realm ought to
be unanimous against the attacks of foreigners in the defence of the realm,
and that great evils may happen if the affair is not dealt with by
the rigour of the law, and considering the malice of William who has
impleaded the chancellor and others before these justices for the said
imprisonment by another writ, and harasses them with expenses, orders
those justices to continue that plea in the same state in which it now is
until a certain day after Christmas next, so that deliberation upon the
premises being taken in the meantime, such provision shall be made as shall
seem good to the king and his council, to avoid such great danger. By C. |
