Nature of request
Let the record and process which are in Chancery concerning this business be viewed, and if it is found that the tenants of the tenements were warned and summoned at the octave of Trinity, and did not come at that point, then it is ordered by a writ of Chancery to the sheriffs of the counties where those tenants reside that they distrain them by all their goods and chattels to repair and defend the tenements against the inundations of the sea between now and the quindene of St John next to come, and at that time they are to certify in Chancery if the tenements have been repaired or not, and also they are to certify in Chancery for the same term if they have been able to distrain the tenants, and the certification returned into Chancery. Let it be ordered to the burgesses of Scarborough that the tenements of all those that the sheriffs return who have nothing on which to distrain, and also those tenements of those who the sheriffs return who have not repaired the tenements after the quindene of St John are to be seized into the hand of the king, and they are to repair and defend the tenements against the inundations of the sea so that they can answer to the king for the ancient farm due from the tenements.
