To William Scot and his fellows, justices appointed to hold pleas before
the king. Whereas Simon de Grymesby, late keeper of the manor of
Brustwyk in Holdernesse and escheator in Holdernesse, seised into the
king's hands by reason of his office certain land in Hedon and Preston
which belonged to Nicholas de Redynges, tenant in chief, which lands John
de Sancto Neoto, supplying the place of William Lengleys, to whom the
king committed the custody of the said manor and office of escheator after
Simon's death, continued the seisin thereof, and now Edmund Lacy,
scheming to defraud the king of his right, has arramed an assize of novel
disseisin against John de Sancto Neoto and others contained in the writ,
for the said tenements: the king therefore orders the justices to behave so
circumspectly in that affair that no prejudice shall come to the king
without his being consulted. |

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to do what is just
for Henry Mudpenying, John atte Wold, Tidemannus de Lymbergh and their
fellows, merchants of Almain, after calling before them those they see fit in
accordance with the information of the merchants; as the king assigned to
those merchants all the customs due in all the ports of England to be
received until they were satisfied for the sums in which he was bound to
them, and now he has learned that certain persons have received those
customs in certain of the ports from the time of the said assignment, and
refuse to pay them to the merchants, thus retarding the payment of the
debts in which the king is bound to them. |
Dec. 22. Westminster. |
To the sheriff of Northampton. Order to keep Robert de Wadenhoo,
rector of Twyford church, in prison, so that he be not released without the
king's special order, and to seise all Robert's lands, goods and chattels into
the king's hand and keep them safely, so that answer therefor is made at
the exchequer, and to take inquisition upon the receptions and abetting
done after Robert's outlawry, informing the king of what is found before
Hilary next, as it appears by the record and process of outlawry against
Robert that he was outlawed because he did not come before the king to
answer for certain trespasses whereof he is indicted, and afterwards, on
hearing that he was outlawed and was at large in cos. Cambridge and
Huntingdon, the king ordered the sheriff of those counties to take him, by
writ de judicio under the testimony of William Scot, the chief justice, and
keep him in prison, and to have him before the king on a certain day before
this date, and now the king has learned that Robert has been taken and
imprisoned at Northampton for another cause. |
Dec. 20. Westminster. |
To Edward de Cretyng. Order to be before the king and his council at
London on St. Thomas the Martyr next, to do what shall be enjoined

To the justices of the Bench. Joan late the wife of Ralph Basset of
Drayton has besought the king to provide a remedy, as she seeks in
the king's court against Richard de Stafford a third part of a fourth
part of the manor of Campeden with appurtenances, extended at
10 marks 19¼d. and ⅓ farthing yearly, as her dower of her husband's
donation and Richard in pleading in that court called to warranty Ralph
son of Ralph Basset of Drayton, kinsman and heir of the said Ralph,
whose person and lands are in the custody of Thomas de Bello Campo,
earl of Warwick, and because the earl, as guardian of the heir, appearing
before the justices, alleged that he had the custody of the heir and of the
lands which belonged to Ralph Basset of Drayton, tenant in chief, by the
king's commission until the heir should come of age, and cannot answer
further without the king and further seeks aid of the king, the justices have
hitherto delayed to proceed in that plea: the king therefore orders them
to proceed in that plea and do the speedy complement of justice to her
in accordance with the law and custom of the realm, notwithstanding the
said allegation. By C. |
Dec. 22. Westminster. |
To John de Houton, late steward of the Tolbothe, of Lenn, and to Simon
de Walsyngham, John de Refham and John Charer, late bailiffs of that
town. Whereas by reason of a plunder committed upon Roger de Bury
and Thomas de Penereth, merchants of the realm, of their goods and merchandise to the value of 165l. 6s. 8d. at sea, by certain malefactors of the
town of Durdraght and Middelburgh, the king ordered them to arrest all
the goods and merchandise of the said malefactors of the said towns and of
other men and merchants of Durdraght, up to the sum of 82l. 13s. 4d. in
part satisfaction of the 165l. 6s. 8d., and to keep them safely until further
order: the king orders them to certify him as to what they have arrested
by virtue of the said order, and to supersede the further execution of the
order. By C. |
|
To the same. Order to be before the king and his council in chancery
on the quinzaine of Hilary next to answer for their contempt and further
to do and receive what the king's court shall determine, as the king has
learned from Roger and Thomas that they arrested divers goods of the said
malefactors by virtue of the king's orders and delivered them to the said
malefactors for gifts received from them. |
