To Ralph de Nevill, keeper of the Forest this side Trent, or to him who
supplies his place in Shirwod forest. Roger le Wyne has besought the king,
by his petition before him and his council in parliament, that whereas a
certain pasture of his near a certain place called 'Brokgreyne,' co. Derby, is
without the bounds of the forest, and always has been, yet that keeper, because
another place also called 'Brokgreyne,' co. Nottingham, is within the bounds
of the said forest, pretending that the place and pasture of Brokgreyne, co. Derby,
were within the bounds of the said forest, compelled Roger by various distraints for his cattle found within the said pasture to pay money for a
custom in the said forest called 'wardeset,' for the king's use, and because
answer is made to the said petition by the king and council, that the rolls of the
chancery of Edward I. concerning the perambulation of that forest made in
the time of the said king, ought to be examined for the discussion of the
said affair, and that at present they cannot be examined; the king orders
that keeper that if the said Roger finds sufficient security to answer to the
king for the said money of 'wardeset' for his cattle found within that
pasture if it ought to belong to the king, then to cause the said Roger to be
released from the said distraint until Whitsuntide next, unless the king orders
otherwise in the meantime, so that the rolls may be examined in the meantime, and the king may cause justice to be done in the premises. |
