- Nature of request
- The petitioner states that he lately held a messuage and furlong of land, a half share in seven messuages, sixteen furlongs of land and 58s 4d of rent. He granted them to John Cork who then settled them on the petitioner and Margarete his wife and their heirs who held the properties until Cork secretly brought a writ against them and dishonestly recovered the properties with damages of £40. Cork then sent armed men to Fursdon and took four horses, eight oxen, ten kine, twenty bullocks and one hundred and sixty sheep worth £40, took them to Launceston and sold them to his friends, John Helston, Thomas Hyckedon, William Score, William Jerissh, John Corke, John King, Roger Snell and Ive Willehous, until the petitioner paid for their release. Recently Cork sent twenty-four armed men to Fursdon, who broke into the petitioner's house, beat him, wounded his wife, bound them both and stole jewellery and goods worth £200, to the ruin of the petitioner, who asks the king for a remedy.
