Membrane 21d. |
Feb. 13.
Westminster. |
To the treasurer and the barons of the exchequer. Writ of supersedeas omnino in respect of any process against John Philippes of
Pystoy dwelling in London or his mainpernors by reason of the
licence granted him by the king, at his petition, by himself and his
servants to buy and purvey 1,000 tuns of wheat in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Norffolk, Suffolk, Berkshire and Somerset, lade it in ships in
whatsoever ports of those counties he should please, and take it over
to Genoa (Janua) or Pyse, and order to discharge them; as the king
granted him that licence by mainprise of William de Horscroft,
Richard Sturdy, William Wilteshire, William Chaumbre, all citizens
and skinners of London, and William de Horbury parson of Ipplepen,
who with him mainperned under a pain of double the value thereof
that he should take the wheat to Genoa or Pyse and not to the
northern parts, in case it should not be lost in a storm or taken by
the enemy, and that he or his servants should bring again into
chancery letters under the common seal of the towns or cities wherein
it should be unladed, or another authentic seal witnessing the unlading thereof; but he has made oath in chancery that he bought
not such corn, neither took it over as aforesaid. |
Feb. 11.
Westminster. |
To the same. Writ of supersedeas until the quinzaine of Easter
next in respect of their demand upon John Reede late escheator in
Norffolk to answer for the issues of a messuage, 80 acres of land and
3 acres of meadow in Wilby; as a plea between the king and Henry
le Despenser bishop of Norwich, Ralph Crumwelle knight, Nicholas
Wechyngham and John Mountenay is yet pending without debate before
the king concerning the premises, which were held by Michael de la Pole
late earl of Suffolk jointly with John de Clyfton knight (then deceased)
on 1 October 10 Richard II and after, on which day he forfeited, as
is supposed by an inquisition of his office taken before Edmund de
Hastynges late escheator, whether the same ought to pertain to the
king or to them. |
Feb. 17.
Westminster. |
To the sheriffs of London. Writ of supersedeas, by mainprise of
Hugh Sprot, William Holbeche, Nicholas Kewolde and John Don
of London, in favour of Master William Storteforde clerk at suit

Jan. 6.
Westminster. |
To the treasurer and the barons of the exchequer. Writ of supersedeas until Michaelmas next in respect of their demand upon Ralph
Soote, appointed by letters patent of 1 December 12 Richard II
overseer and keeper during pleasure of all the king's swans in the
river Thames and elsewhere throughout the realm, answering to the
king for the profits thereof arising, to answer or account for such
swans or profits, that in the mean time the king may be certified by
the treasurer of the household whether the said Ralph has accounted
for them before him, as he has informed the king, or no. |
Feb. 4.
Westminster. |
To the same. Writ of supersedeas omnino in respect of any process
against the sheriff of Cornwall, John Hulle, John Wadham, William
Hankeforde, William Horbury clerk, Thomas Peverel and James
Gerveys, lately appointed to survey all the lands etc. in Cornwall of
Robert Tresilian knight deceased, seized as forfeit into the king's
hand by reason of a judgment against him rendered in the parliament
assembled at Westminster in 11 Richard II, to extend the same anew
at their best discretion, and to seize all goods and chattels of his not
then seized which might there be found; as they executed not that
commission, nor meddled in aught therein contained, as John Hulle
has borne true witness in chancery. |
Feb. 8.
Westminster. |
To the same. Writ of supersedeas until Michaelmas next, upon
petition of John Meysy, in respect of their demand upon him to
answer for the farm of the messuages and land hereinafter mentioned
since 8 July 'then last' (sic), that in the mean time debate may be
had whether the same ought to be seized again into the king's hand
or no; as on 20 May 10 Richard II by a mainprise the king committed to John Meysy for a set farm the keeping from Easter then
last for six years of all lands etc. in Cornwall, London and Surrey of
John Trevartian, in the king's hand by reason of outlawry published
against him; and after upon the finding of an inquisition, taken by
John Keynes escheator in Cornwall, that eight messuages, 12 acres
of land and a third part of 2 acres in Brethaunek, Penmeneth,
Chienguens, Marghasbian and Cuelbayulu held by John Trevarthian
have been in the king's hand a year and a day, that the same are
held of Robert de Haryngton knight and Isabel his wife as of the
manor of Tre Juel, and that Roger Juyl late escheator had the year
and a day and the waste thereof, on 8 July aforesaid the king ordered
the said late escheator to give the said Robert and Isabel seisin
thereof; and upon information that John Trevartian yet living held
the premises in fee tail, as by charters etc. may be shewn, wherefore
the same ought during his life to remain in the king's hand, by
another writ the king ordered the sheriff to give notice to the said
Robert and Isabel to be in chancery at a day past, in order to shew
cause wherefore the premises ought not to be again seized into the
king's hand and so remain; and the king considers John Meysy's
petition to be just and reasonable. |
Jan. 24.
Westminster. |
To the same. Writ of supersedeas in respect of a distress upon
Lawrence de Allerthorp, one of the barons of the exchequer, to certify
concerning concealed goods and chattels in Northumberland, or the
price or value thereof, or to account for the same, and any process
against him thereupon, and order to discharge him, proceeding nevertheless against others who did meddle therein; as lately the king appointed the said Lawrence and others to make inquisition there by
whom great number of goods, which ought to pertain to him as forfeit
by forfeiture of war and for other causes were withdrawn and concealed, in whose hands they were, by what title and how, and to
what sum they amount; but that commission was not delivered to
the said Lawrence, neither did he meddle in aught therein contained,
having no knowledge thereof, as he has averred in chancery. |
