Description
Petitioners
Henry atte Gate.
Name(s)
Gate, Henry
Addressees
King
Nature of request
The petitioner states that the first twenty-four persons above by false alliance and conspiracy went to Newenden and procured Curtehose to accuse the petitioner of the re-disseisin of a sixth part of a messuage there, which in the absence of the petitioner was considered sufficient testimony. The petitioner was not sufficiently warned of the assize and was condemned in £80 damages and taken into Newgate Prison until his judgement before Scrope and his fellow justices and suffered damages of £100. The petitioner seeks from the king the appointment of Beaufitz, Grandison and Malemeyns, with the power to investigate the conspiracy against the petitioner.
Nature of endorsement
To be viewed by the council when the final re-disseisin is held. No error can be found in the same. It is made according to the law.
