To Thomas earl of Dorset admiral of England, or to his
lieutenant. Order to summon the parties who will complain
and others whom they shall see fit, to hear arguments on either
side, and to deal further according to law and the custom of
the admiralty court, notwithstanding the king's commission to
John Tybenham and John Shipton deputy of his butler in the
port of Suthampton, and any arrest by them made by colour
thereof; as lately learning that divers ships and vessels laded
with wine of la Rochelle were by certain lieges taken at sea
and brought to Suthampton, the king appointed the said John
and John to arrest and safe keep all such vessels and wine
until further order without eloignment or dispersal, but the same
were taken at sea and not within the corpus of any county of the
realm, wherefore the capture ought to be debated and determined
in the admiralty court and nowhere else. |
