Roger Lyneye of Newport.
Name(s)

Nature of request
Roger Lyneye, who was appointed one of the collectors of the fifteenth in Shropshire in the parliament of the first year of the king's reign, states that the following March, while performing his office, he was attacked at Hinstock by Roger Corbet and others, and left for dead. He sued to the king at the parliament at Leicester about this, but various servants of Roger's brother Robert have since come to his village of Newport, and have killed and injured some of his tenants, with the result that his village is being abandoned. He asks the lords and commons to ask the king to grant the Chancellor full power, by authority of parliament, to hear and determine the matter, excluding the felonies, by examination of the parties or otherwise as he sees fit.
Nature of endorsement
[On face] A Roy et seignurs (To the king and lords).[On dorse] This petition is to be sent to the King's Bench, and the justices of the same bench, by authority of this parliament held at Westminster on Monday 16 March in the third year of the reign of King Henry, the fifth since the conquest, are to hear and determine the whole matter contained in the petition, according to their advice and discretion.
