that in the court of the Guyhalde chamber before the then mayor
and aldermen of London without writ of the king according to
the custom of that city, he impleaded John Thornynge, master
of a barge called 'le Leonarde' of Dertemouth, for breach of a
covenant, and that although according to the custom of the city
and the law merchant he recovered the said sum, and although
because the defendant had nought within the liberty of the city
whereon he might distrain, neither was he found therein, the said
Roger, who long before that recovery with John Chedilton grocer
of London became his surety and mainpernor until the determination of the suit, was taken and imprisoned as one of his
sureties, the mayor and sheriffs have deferred to execute that
judgment for that at a day past for particular causes set forth in

To the justices appointed to hold pleas before the king. Order,
upon petition of George Darelle, to proceed to rendering
of justice in the cause hereinafter mentioned, the king's former
writ notwithstanding; as error crept into the record and process
and the publication of outlawry against the petitioner in Yorkshire
before William Gascoigne and his fellows, justices appointed to
hear and determine treasons, insurrections, rebellions and felonies
there, as the king learned by his complaint, and willing to do him
justice the king commanded the said William to send the record
and process of outlawry under seal, and all things which concern
it, so that the king should have it at a day now past, and further
deal according to law and the custom of the realm; and the same
being sent, the petitioner appeared in person, and surrendered
himself to the marshalsea prison, and being by the marshal brought
up, and called upon to shew cause wherefore they ought not to
proceed to execute judgment of outlawry against him, said that
there was manifest error, namely in that at the time of publication,
and long before and after, he was imprisoned in Richemonde
castle co. York in custody of Ralph earl of Westmerland, so that
he might no wise render himself before the justices or the sheriff,
and this he was ready to prove; and because it was needful that
before they should proceed further the tenants of his lands on
Ascension day 6 Henry IV and after, and the lords of whom they
were held should have warning to hear the record and process,
the sheriff was ordered to give them notice to be before the king
for the purpose at another day past, if they should think fit, and
on that day the sheriff returned that he gave notice to John
Haukeswelle of Helperby tenant of the said lands, and to John
the king's son, Thomas Langeley bishop of Durham, Alexander
Neville knight, William de Sewardby, Marmaduke Darell and
Henry Maunsell lords thereof by Richard Smyth, Henry Rayne,
both of Seszay, William Alman of Heton, Thomas Bower of
Allerton, William Nelson and John de Laton, both of Thornton,
and John Haukeswell came by William Scalby his attorney, and
the others came not, and John Haukeswelle said that by letters
patent, dated Pountfreyt castle 11 August 6 Henry IV, the king
gave him for life all lands in Seszay, Heton, Prompton, Thurkilby
field, Allerton, Thornton, Catton, Kilburne and Threske which
were of the said George, and came to the king's hands by his
forfeiture, up to the value of 9l. a year, and that so he is tenant
by grant of the king, craving aid of the king; and at suit of the
said George, submitting that the justices deferred to proceed,
the king commanded them so to do the allegation aforesaid notwithstanding, so that they should not proceed to rendering of
judgment without advising the king; and now it is shewn on
behalf of the petitioner that by reason of that writ the justices
have deferred to render judgment, although before William
Gascoigne, William Lamberde being joined with him, it is found
by a jury by writ of nisi prius that on Wednesday in Easter week
9 Henry IV, on which day he was put in exigents for divers
felonies, on Monday after the Epiphany 10 Henry IV, on which
day he was outlawed, and long before and after the said George
was imprisoned as aforesaid. |
