To the collectors in Sussex of three groats of every lay person.
Writ of supersedeas until Whitsuntide next in favour of the barons of
the Cinque Ports and others avowing themselves to be of the liberty
thereof and willing to enjoy the same, and order to release any distress
upon them made; as in consideration that the navy of those ports
might not without great cost be maintained, in order that the same
should not be lacking, King Edward I granted by letters patent,
confirmed by the king, that all men of those ports and others aforesaid
should contribute, every man according to his means, to do the king's
service concerning his ships when by him commanded; and for that
disputes arose touching the general words therein, that the barons
of the ports might more conveniently perform their service, the late
king in parliament in the first year of his reign granted by letters
patent, likewise confirmed, that they should contribute to maintain
and perform the navy and service aforesaid of all their goods and
chattels within and without the said liberty, and should be compelled
so to do if need be by the mayors and jurats of the ports and the
constable of Dovorre castle, and that such goods taxed for that service
should not be taxed to tallages or other charges whatsoever with goods
of foreigners; and in a parliament holden in 15 Edward III it seemed
good to the king and council, and was by the prelates, earls, barons
and commons debated and agreed, that the barons and others aforesaid
should be quit of all tallages and charges granted by the commons of
the realm in respect of their goods for which they were bound to
contribute and did contribute as aforesaid. |
