- Nature of request
- Robert and Margery Broun state that Thomas de Asshewell and Robert de Pipherst, as executors of William Broun, sued out an execution of a recognizance of 50 pounds, made to Thomas by William Broun before the mayor of London. Robert and Margery, tenants of William's lands, came before the aforesaid justices in the eleventh year of the reign of the present King Edward, and put forward a quitclaim which was rejected by the aforesaid executors, and on this they put themselves on the country. The process continued until the thirteenth year of the king's reign, when the executors lost their suit. Afterwards the executors sued a new certification before the mayor of London, returnable in Chancery, through which they had a writ to seize William's body, returnable before the aforesaid justices, as if the original suit of debt had never taken place. It was answered that William was dead, because of which the court adjudged that the executors should have execution of the 50 pounds, and all the lands and tenements that William had on the day on which the recognizance was made. Robert and Margery were never summoned for this last suit, and knew nothing of it until they were expelled from their tenements by eighty armed men. They request a remedy.
