Sept. 24. Westminster.

Inspeximus, at the request of the abbot and convent of St. Mary's York, of the record and process of a plea between the then abbot and the mayor and bailiffs of York, on St. Dunstan's day, 3 Edward I., before John son of John and Master Geoffrey Haspal, justices of oyer and terminer. On many complaints by the mayor and citizens of York that the abbot usurps their rights and liberties within the city and suburb, does not permit the keepers of the king's measures in the city to prove measures, or the measures to be sealed with the king's seal, within lands which he claims, but has them sealed with a counterfeit seal, does not permit the citizens to take naams from his men for their debts according to the tenor of the city charter wherein these men are not excepted, appropriates the king's men and holds their pleas in his court by force of excommunication, and does not permit the city bailiffs to enter his lands to levy the king's debts or take robbers and trespassers, but excommunicates such as do enter, the king commanded the abbot to cease such usurpations and to permit the mayor, bailiffs and citizens and himself to enjoy their rights and liberties within the city and suburb. And the abbot comes and says that the mayor, bailiffs and citizens have suppressed the truth in their information to the king. And Robert de Bromholme, mayor, and some of the citizens and bailiffs come, and, being asked on the first, second, and third day, in what manner they will verify their statement, they say that this is unnecessary because day was not given them for that, and that the trespasses complained of have been amended. Afterwards on the fourth day of the plea they produced articles in support of their information as follows :

When the keepers of the king's measures in the Guildhall had commanded the bailiffs of the city to collect on oath all measures and gallons within the liberties of the city, and these had entered Bouthom, a suburb of the city, for this purpose, one Peter de Thorneton, the abbot's serjeant, assaulted them, took the measures from them in the king's highway and excommunicated all who collected measures and gallons there.

Further, when Thomas le Horner and Robert le Horfewer, citizens, took from David le Lardiner in Bouthum naams for a debt, the said Peter came and took these from them by force.

Further, when Gilbert de Lue, a bailiff of the city, entered Bouthum to distrain for arrears of a twentieth due to the king, as he used to do in time past, the abbot caused him to be excommunicated in procession through the town, and excommunication to be pronounced against all who should make distraints there.

Further, when one who had stolen a mare was followed into Bouthum by John Malherbe, a bailiff of the city, and was there arrested by him in the high road, the said Peter rescued him from the bailiff.

Also, they say that the abbot appropriates the office of coroner within the bounds and liberties of the city because, as they say, the coroners of the city have used to execute their office throughout the suburb of Bouthum until eight or ten years past, as they will verify by rolls of Roger de Thurkelby of three eyres made by him in the county of York, to wit, touching Walter son of Richard le Carter, who was found dead in a house within the abbey, in the thirtieth year of the king; touching Matilda Warison, who was drowned from a boat in the river Use by the gate of the abbey in the same year; and touching Ralph Cauloc who was taken for the death of William Russel and indicted in the Guildhall before the king in the thirtyfifth year.

Also, they say the abbot has begun to take a custom called ' mesurage ' within the city where only the king by his bailiffs should enter ; and that he does not permit the men of Bouthum to be tallaged with the citizens, as they used to be, nor the city bailiffs to take toll of any of his tenants, although none are toll free in the city except the tenants of Wlf, as they will prove.

And the abbot, out of reverence for the king, answers the articles and says he is not guilty of any usurpation. To article 1, he says that the town of Bouthum, which is without the city gate towards the abbey, is not a suburb of the city but a free borough pertaining to the abbey, where the mayor and bailiffs can claim no royal liberty nor ever had any except by escheat or in time of war. And he says that Alan, sometime earl of Richmond, who came to the conquest of England, gave to the abbey the said borough, to wit, from the gate of the city called ' Galmehou ' towards Clifton and towards the river Use as far as the borough extends, and that king William Rufus, son of the Conqueror, confirmed to the abbey the church and site of the abbey, that is, as much as is without the city from Galmehou to the middle of the river Use, with the seat of a mill, to hold in frank almoin quit of earthly service, with such laws, liberties, dignities and customs as the churches of St. Peter, York, or St. John, Beverley, had, and as freely as any church in England had the same. And he produces the charter of this grant of William Rufus and confirmations thereof by Henry I., Henry II. and Richard. He produces also a charter of Henry III. wherein is a clause that the abbot and convent and their successors should use all the liberties and quittances in the said articles of quittance, as they would and wherever they should deem expedient, even though they had used any of them less fully than they might; and that none should disturb them therein on pain of forfeit.

And as to the measures, he says that the mayor and bailiffs ought not, nor have they used to, prove these within his liberties, because, as he says, throughout the reign of Henry III. the abbots have had seisin of the standard and measure under the seal of that king, as the abbot now has under the seal of the present king.

And where they say that Peter de Thorneton, his serjeant, assaulted the king's ministers when collecting the measures, the abbot says that he did not assault them and that the bailiffs ought not to enter into Boutham.

To article 3, he answers that the said Peter did not take by force from Thomas le Horner and Robert le Orfeuer the naams of David le Lardiner.

To article 4, he says that he never excommunicated Gilbert de Lue nor pronounced excommunication against others as is charged.

To article 5, he answers that the robber was taken by his serjeants at Fulford within his liberty and taken to Boutham towards his prison when the bailiffs and others would have taken him from them by force but they would not permit this.

To article 6, he says that he has his own coroner under the charters already referred to.

To article 7, he says that he has not taken mesurage within the bounds and devises of the city, as is charged.

And where they say that the men of Bouthum should be tallaged with the citizens of York, he says that this is only in respect of such merchandise as they use within the city.

And where they say he does not permit the bailiffs to take toll, he says that his tenants are toll-free by the charters of the abbey ; on which charters also he rests his answer to all complaints of usurpations by him.

And the mayor and bailiffs say that Bouthum is a suburb of their city and not a free borough because it has no market or fair, tumbrel or pillory (pissoriam), or other means of justice pertaining to a free borough, and that the men dwelling there are the king's men, and the abbot ought not to have the coroner or standard there unless it was specified in the charters. And for the charters, they say that before and after the making of these the mayor and bailiffs had seisin of the things in respect of which they complain against the abbot.

And because the mayor and bailiffs by their false suggestion to the king did many damages and trespasses against the abbot before they delivered to him the king's letters directed to him, as he says, the abbot prays the king to hear the trespasses against the rights and liberties of his church and to do justice herein ; and this is granted to him.

He complains that, although in Lent last, the keepers of the king's measures proved the measures in Bouthum, as they did in the time of Henry III., and delivered them to his bailiffs under the king's seal, the bailiffs of the city came by force into his lands within a fortnight after, carried away all the measures they found and detain these contrary to his liberties; that the bailiffs distrain and take naams of him and his tenants when they come within the city, for debts of the citizens, when he and they are not principal debtors or their pledges; and that they distrain them to answer in the city court whereas they should not answer without the court of the liberty of St. Mary, and distrain his tenants for toll, murage and stallage whereof they are quit.

And the mayor and bailiffs come and defend the force and wrong and say that Bouthum is a suburb of their city and the standard and measures should be sealed by livery of the bailiffs, as of ancient custom they have been, that they have not entered the abbey lands there otherwise than is usual in the suburb, that they have taken naams and distraint only in the usual way and that none of the tenants of the abbey are toll-free except the tenants of Wlf son of Thorald. Also that notwithstanding any charters the bailiffs have always used to make such distraint.

And the abbot says, that the tenants of his borough of Bouthum should have the standard and seal of measures by livery of his bailiff, that naams should be taken of them only in case of the principal debtor or his pledge, that none should answer without the liberty of St. Mary, and that they are quit of tolls and the other customs.

Afterwards, the complaints and answers were shewn before the king in Parliament by the said John son of John and Geoffrey Haspal appointed to hear the same, and he, by writ, appointed Robert de Neville, Alexander de Kirketon, John de Reygate, Guychardus de Charrun and William de Northburgh to make inquisition therein and hear and determine the contentions.

Afterwards, on Tuesday after St. Peter ad Vincula, the said Robert and his fellows would have taken the inquisition at York, as directed, but the mayor, citizens and bailiffs challenged so many of the thirty-six jurors in attendance that they could not; and although they would have done this with a jury of twenty-four knights and good men of those ready, if the parties would agree, and the abbot consented, the mayor, citizens and bailiffs would not agree to any of them. Whereupon the justices directed the sheriff to send the names of all the knights in the county, and the sheriff returned one hundred and seven names. These were read over one by one before the mayor, citizens and bailiffs, and a schedule of the names was offered to them that they might agree upon twenty-four. They answered that they would agree to no one unless he were present. Then because the cause concerned the king and because, as it seemed, the mayor, citizens and bailiffs were seeking to delay the taking of the inquisitions, day was given to the parties to be before the king to know his will herein.

Afterwards, on the octave of Michaelmas, the parties came before the king in his Parliament at Westminster and the pleadings were by his command returned to the said R. de Nevyle and his fellows, under the seals of Master R. de Scarthburgh and N. de Stapilton, for the parties to appear before them when summoned. And the abbot puts in his place Walter de Leycestre or Thomas de Capella.

Afterwards, the king directed Robert de Neville and his fellows to hear and determine the contentions between the parties, who were commanded to be before them in the palace of the archbishop of York as they should appoint, saving certain articles in the rolls of Roger de Thurkelby and Gilbert de Preston, whereof a transcript under the seals of Master Robert de Scardeburgh and Nicholas de Stapilton was sent them, which the king did not wish to be determined by the inquisition.

Afterwards, these justices commanded the sheriff to have before them on the morrow of the Epiphany in the said palace sixty knights and sixty good and lawful men of the older and more discreet men of the county, whereof one should be lord of a town and have 10l. yearly of land at the least, by whom the truth should be known. At which day came the justices and the knights and others to make the inquisition; and the mayor and citizens challenged all the knights but seven, to wit, Henry son of Conan, William de Holteby, Nicholas de Percy, James de Fryvile, Robert de Frytheby, Patrick Westiby, John de Romundeby and Richard de Wassand, and all the free men but eleven, to wit, Thomas de Ebreston, Roger de Morepath, John de Meyhil of Kunketon, Matthew de Claphou, John de Surdevale, William Yhol, John de Ryton, Roger de Dole, Geoffrey de Sprotteley, William de Stayneby, and William de Malteby. And because these jurors without more knights were not enough to take the inquisition, the justices commanded ex officio that the seven knights should choose twenty-four knights to be added to their number, and that the others serving should choose sixteen free men of the county to be added to their number. And the former chose Nicholas de Menile, Nicholas Wake, Elias Knol, Simon le Conestable, Adam de Seton, John de Melsa, John le Vavasur, Robert Salvayn, Richard de Thuenge, Adam de Novo Mercato, Nicholas de Hastyng, Thomas de Ellerton, William Wyvil, Henry Springe, Thomas de Alta Ripa, John son of Michael, Thomas de Ellerbek, John de Bylton, William de Kynington, Gervase de Bernak, and Geoffrey Gumbaud, and the others chose William de Faucomberge, Thomas de Metham, William Malkak, Robert de Clyf, Robert de Heselarton, Thomas de Scauceby, Robert Buscel, John de Carleton in Bordesnesse, John de Redmare, William de Hertelyngton, Richard de Thornay, John de Caverington and Walter de Flynton. Therefore day is given to all persons concerned on Monday after the quinzaine of the Purification, on which day came before the said Robert and his fellows the mayor, citizens and bailiffs and the abbot of St. Mary's, York, and Nicholas de Percy and John de Menile, two of the jurors, came not because they were sick unto death, and James de Fryvile, Thomas de Ebreston, William de Staynneby, and William de Malteby, other jurors, being challenged by the mayor, citizens and bailiffs, were released from their oath, and the rest of the jurors came save Nicholas de Wake, Richard de Thweng, Adam de Novo Mercato, William de Wyvile, Henry Spring, John de Bylton, Gervase de Bernak, and John de Redemare, in whose absence the inquisition could not be taken. Therefore the cause stood adjourned until Wednesday after Midlent, at which day the inquisition is taken by the oath of Nicholas Wake, Henry son of Conan, William de Holteby, Geoffrey Gumbaud, Richard Waxand, Henry Spryng, John son of Michael, Robert de Frytheby, James de la More, Fulk le Constable, Adam de Seton, Richard de Thornyl and Robert de Munteney, knights, Thomas de Scauceby, Matthew de Claphou, Richard de Thorney, John de Surdevale, John de Ryton, John de Caveryngton, Geoffrey de Sprotteley, Robert de Ellerton, William Faucomberge, Walter de Flynton, William de Hertelington, Roger de Dole, Robert Bussel, William de Thormoby, William Yhol, Henry de Rokeby and Bartholomew de Scalleby, free men, who find as to the articles of the mayor and citizens against the abbot, that the abbot does not usurp and has not usurped, any pleas of lay fee, chattels or debts, which are not testamentary or matrimonial, within the city or in Bouthum, that Bouthum is the abbot's borough by gift of Alan, sometime earl of Richmond to Stephen, sometime abbot, and his successors, confirmed by charters of king William son of the Conqueror, and other kings, and judgement is therefore given for the abbot that Bouthum shall remain to the abbey as a borough thereof, that the men dwelling therein are not liable to tallage except for such merchandise as they exercise within the city of York and are quit of toll, that the mayor and bailiffs shall return the gages which they have taken for tolls ; and that the abbot has the standard gallon and ell by livery of the king's marshals. The jurors say also that the abbot does not take mesurage within the bounds of the city as the mayor and citizens charge, and judgement is given for him on this point. Also that the said Peter, the abbot's bailiff, did not rescue by force from Thomas le Horner and Robert le Orfeure the naams of David le Lardiner, and that the abbot did not excommunicate Gilbert de Lue, and judgement is given for him accordingly.

Touching the plaints of the abbot against the mayor and bailiffs, they find that the bailiffs forcibly collected the measures in Bouthom, as charged, and the abbot is adjudged his damages for this, which he foregoes; and the sheriff is commanded to cause livery of the measures to be made. The jurors say also that the mayor and bailiffs of ancient custom have used to take naams of the abbot and his tenants even when they were not the principal debtors or pledges of these, and because by the new statute it is provided that naams shall not be taken in such cases, the mayor and citizens are forbidden to take naams from any but the principal debtors and their pledges. And because Gilbert de Lue, one of the citizens, publicly charged the justices appointed to take the inquisition with having on this article adjudged the citizens to be amerced, when they had not done so, and did not intend to do so, he is committed to gaol. And afterwards came John Lespicer and James de Cimiterio and went surety to have him before the said Robert de Nevile and his fellows here in the same place on the Sunday after the Ascension, and he is delivered to them. It is adjudged also that the abbot and his men shall be quit of murage and stallage for ever. And as to the article wherein the abbot complains that the mayor and citizens distrain him, his men and tenants to answer in the city court, whereas they ought only to answer in the court of the liberty of St. Mary's, the jurors say that the mayor and bailiffs were wont to distrain the abbot's men within the city, when they came thither, for trespasses against the citizens committed without the city, and also for agreements touching contracts of wools, corn, or other goods, between them and the citizens. And this article is respited until the said Sunday alter the Ascension.
