To William Thirnyng and Richard Sydenham justices of assize in
Norhamptonshire. Order, upon petition of the plaintiff, to proceed
in an assize of novel disseisin concerning the manor of Crieke lately
called 'Vyntersmanere' arraigned by Henry Vynter against Henry
Bukyngham, notwithstanding the defendant's allegation and the witness of John Pavely knight, so that they proceed not to rendering of
judgment without advising the king; as the defendant alleged that by
writ close of the exchequer, reciting that he being escheator in Norhamptonshire and Roteland did lose his day in Easter term last for
rendering his account at the exchequer of the issues of that office
from Michaelmas 12 Richard II to Michaelmas following, the king
commanded the sheriff not to omit by reason of any liberty to attach
him by his body, so as to have him at Westminster before the barons
of the exchequer in the quinzaine of Trinity, to hear judgment concerning his contempt and to render account, ordering the sheriff in the
mean time to take all his goods and lands into the king's hand in
name of distress, and safe keep them until further order, answering
to the king for the issues of such lands, and certifying the barons of
the exchequer of the description and price of such goods and the
yearly value of such lands; and the defendant said that the sheriff
accordingly took for the king an inquisition concerning the said
manor, among other lands, finding that it was extended at 20l. a
year, and seized it into the king's hand, and that therefore it is in
the king's hand; and the said John Pavely, being the sheriff aforesaid, was present in court, and being examined by the justices, bore
witness that he took an inquisition and seized the manor as aforesaid. |

To the sheriff of Sussex. Order to give Thomas Mewe and John
Beaufitz the king's serjeants, yeomen of his chamber, livery of the
herbage and pannage of Dadesham park, in the king's hand by reason
of the nonage of the son and heir of Robert Tragoys knight, and the
issues and profits thereof since 22 January 11 Richard II; as by
letters patent of 12 August 11 Richard II the king granted to the
said serjeants the herbage and pannage of that park until the lawful
age of the heir without rendering aught to him, by virtue whereof
they took the profit of the same a long while; and by other letters
patent of 22 January following the king committed to Ralph Seintleger knight the ward of all lands held for life by Joan who was wife
of Edward Seint John knight of the heritage of the said Robert, by
name of Robert Tregos tenant in chief, which were in the king's hand
by her death and by reason of the nonage of Edward Tregos son and
heir of the said Robert, from Michaelmas then last until the lawful age
of the heir, rendering to the king 104l. 3s. 8¾d. a year, so that he
should yearly have allowance in his farm for 13l. 6s. 8d. for maintenance of the said heir; and upon petition of the said serjeants,
shewing that by virtue of that grant they are unlawfully thrust out
of the herbage and pannage of the park, and praying restitution, the
king ordered the sheriff to give the said Ralph notice to be in chancery
at a day past, in order to shew cause wherefore restitution ought not
to be made, the grant to him in general terms notwithstanding, and
the sheriff returned that he gave him notice by John Sengelton and
John atte Lege; and at that day the said Ralph appeared by William
Horbury his attorney, and the said serjeants in person, and he alleged
that he had the ward of the premises by grant of the king, and
without the king ought not to answer, craving the king's aid, whereupon a day was given them at a day past, and the said serjeants
were told to sue meantime with the king for licence to proceed, if
they should think fit; and at that day they produced a writ of the
privy seal de procedendo, and the parties appeared, and arguments
being heard on either side, the said Ralph could say nought to the
purpose, wherefore by advice of the justices, the serjeants of law and
others of the council learned in the law it was determined that livery
should be given as aforesaid. |
