July 1570

July 1. 81. Att. Gen. Gerard to Sir Wm. Cecil. The record and process are ready to be sent to Durham for Hussey, and if Her Majesty rests in the mind to have him tried there, order must be given for sending him down, as also his examination, which I sent you, as I shall want it to show to the justices, &c. These and the letters to the justices, and to the sheriff of Durham I have a mind to send to Sir Thos. Gargrave, to deliver the record and examination to the justices when they come to York, as also to send the process for the jury to the Sheriff of Durham, to get the jury ready against the day of the assizes. As the things are of weight, I must send a messenger; only devise how he may be safely sent. [¾ page .]
July 8. Berwick. 82. Thomas Earl of Sussex to Sir Wm. Cecil. The bearer, Henry Harrington, has continued with me in this service until his discharge. He repairs now to Court, to make friends to obtain some lease at Her Majesty's hands. His father is hard, and he is one of his mother's darlings, whom I have cause to love dearly, and who rests greatly affected towards you, so pray give him your furtherance. [¾ page .]
[July] 12. 83. The Queen to Lord Scrope. As the offices of steward and bailiff of our castles and manors of Richmond and Middleham, &c., co. York, late in the occupancy of the Earl of Northumberland, are now, by his treason and flying out of this realm, void of any to govern the same, we authorise you to enter into and take care and charge of the said offices, and enjoy the same commodities and fees as the said Earl did, and so to continue until our further pleasure therein, by our further grant to you under our great seal. [1 page. Draft, corrected by Sir Wm. Cecil .]
July 18. 84. Account of sundry articles, spices, groceries, meat, crockery, &c. purchased, and payments made by Laurence Maidwell, for his master, Wm. Catesby, at the assizes at Northin and Weston Underwood. [5 columns .]
July 20. 85. The Queen to Sir Thos. Gargrave, sheriff of Yorkshire, and to the Sheriff of the bishopric of Durham. Lady Gascoyne, who was last married to the late Earl of Westmoreland, granted by lease to Ralph Bowes the manors of Kirkby Moorside, co. York, and Eglestone, bishopric of Durham, whereupon Bowes entered into bonds for payment of divers sums of money for her, with which he stands charged. The said lady being lately deceased, his lease has become void, and he has made suit to continue lessee of the said manor. We require you to permit him so to continue without impediment, till our further pleasure. [1 page. Draft, corrected .]
July 21. Scroby. 86. Edmund Hall to Sir Wm. Cecil. Mr. Humberston and I received your letter on behalf of Mr. Stanhope as we were on our way to Pomfret, where we appointed to have before us all the tenantsof Sir John Nevill of Billingley manor, and of Edw. Dacre of the manor of Great Houghton which he purchased of Lord Windsor. I met a servant whom my wife had sent to me from Meuting, to say that Lord Willoughby was there, very sick, and in great peril of life, much desiring to see me, and not disposed to perfect his will until I came, which caused me to leave Mr. Humberston at Pomfret with Mr. Jenkins, Her Majesty's receiver in Yorkshire, an honest gentlemen joined in commission with us.
Humberston and I have gone through all the offenders' lands in Yorkshire, Cumberland, Westmoreland, Northumberland, and the bishopric of Durham, that are indicted and have not the Queen's pardon, saving these two lordships of Sir John Nevill's and Edw. Dacre's, which will be perfected by to-morrow night; thence Humberston and Jenkins go to Eggiston, a lordship of Leonard Dacre's in Derbyshire, where he will finish his survey by Monday, and be at Greatford on Wednesday; there we shall tarry two or three days, to oversee our whole doings, and make a fair copy of our survey for Council; but this cannot be well done before the beginning of next term.
You require us to hasten the survey of Gower's lands, that Mr. Stanhope may feel the fruit of the Queen's grant; if we are only to send the survey, we will do so; but after we had entered into the survey, divers of good reputation came to know the value of those things we had surveyed, which we much disliked, and resolutely answered that we had special command from Council that no particular should be given to any, until we had declared the whole to Council. Upon my Lord of Sussex's letters requiring the value of young Carnabie's land of Langley, that he might understand whether he could grant him his pardon, we sent it, but no other has received any value from us, whereby we have found much quietness.
As for Gower and the other offenders' lands, we find both the Earls' lands wholly demised, what by a lease made by the Earl of Westmoreland of his parks and demesnes of Brancepeth, Raby, and his pastures at Darlington to certain of his servants, and of the park and demesnes of Kirkby Moorside to Christopher Nevill and Geo. Stafford, offenders, and the leases of Northumberland's parks made by the old Earl his uncle, with other leases made by them both to the rest of their tenants, for which great fines are taken; and almost nothing is left unleased.
For the other gentlemen, both in Yorkshire and the bishopric, whose chief living consists in demesnes, save Markenfeld's, they are let for years to come for great fines, and so let that no ground in our country is dearer; if we value what was in their hands according to the rate of what they let, the values would so exceed as no honest man may live of the rent; and yet using moderation, you will find upon our report great alterations from the values we have received; what we find demised we do not alter in value, but for such demesnes as be in the Lords' hands, we consider the quality both of the let and unlet, and make such value of the latter as we think best. Respecting Mr. Manners, in whose favour you have written, we find the lands so excessively let that we do not know which way to do him good. Conyers' demesnes of Tottam are now let for more than 80 l . a year,a great deal more than they are worth,the old value being 10 l ., and in like case are divers others.
Gower's lands, which Mr. Stanhope sues for, rest chiefly in the demesnes of St. Agathe's nigh Richmond, certain tenements in towns thereabouts, and a pasture near Darlington, purchased by Gower's father of Henry late Earl of Westmoreland, all let for many years. The old rent of the pasture was 6 l . 13 s . 4 d ., but it is now demised for 20 l . St. Agathe's demesne is divided between Gower and his mother; she holds it for her jointure, and his part is let at rent high enough, for he occupies little or nothing himself. Thanks for remembering my request for the wardship and marriage of Green, although that suit will come to none effect, as some say he was of full age before the offence committed by Norton his guardian. [3¼ pages .]
July 26. 87. The Queen to Edm. Hall and Mr. Humberston, surveyors of the lands escheated by the late rebellion in the North. Understanding that you have finished the said surveys, although you cannot finish your books so speedily, we desire you to send us a brief of all the said lands, with a clear yearly value, and the names of the possessors, and not to deliver to any person any survey or particular value, until the whole survey shall have been presented to us. [½ page. Draft by Cecil .]
July 31. Alnwick. 88. Thomas Earl of Sussex to Sir Wm. Cecil. The bearer, Mr. Meeres, has travelled all this summer in Her Majesty's service in these parts, and hearing of the repairing up of the surveyors appointed for the rebels' lands, he has gone to Court to renew his suit, which I moved to Her Majesty for him, and which is entered in the memorial of suits delivered by her to you; pray further it. In his desire to Her Majesty's service, he has determined to leave his habitation in Lincolnshire, and settle in Yorkshire, which will be a great benefit to the country, as it lacks men of his calling, honesty, and uprightness. I have found him honest and upright in the causes which came before him, and without any respect of persons. [1½ pages .]
July. 89. Petition of Edw. Compton, servant of Thos. Leighton, captain of Guernsey to Council, to know whether they will grant the proportion of munition requested by his master for better furnishing Guernsey castle.
