Reference
SC 8/35/1731
Date
[c. 1323]
Description
Petitioners
John Boutetourte (Buteturte).
Name(s)
Boutetourte (Buteturte), John
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
Boutetourte requests remedy and that he is able to have a writ to the justices that they can sit at Thetford which is near where the trespass was committed. He sued a writ of oyer and terminer in Norfolk against Bukskyn and others. Bukskyn has purchased a writ in Chancery that the assize should be held at Norwich where he has allies and has prevented the petitioner and justices from approaching the town.
Nature of endorsement
He denies this utterly.
Places mentioned
Norfolk
Norwich, [Norfolk]
Thetford, [Norfolk].
People mentioned
Peter Bukskyn.
Note
The petition has to postdate the grant of the commission of oyer and terminer mentioned in the petition which was issued on 6 April 1323, so a date of c. 1323 would seem to the time for the alleged thwarting of the commission to have occurred (CPR 1321-4, pp.312-3).
