-
- Petitioners
- William de Reppes (Repps).
- Name(s)
- de Reppes (Repps), William
- Addressees
- King and council.
- Nature of request
- William de Reppes states that on the Tuesday after the feast of All Saints in the twenty-eighth year of the King's reign he was forcibly disseised of his lands and tenements in Bacton, Swafield, Paston, and Witton by William Peche and others. He sued a writ of novel disseisin, but this was delayed until the King's twenty-ninth year, when William Peche was outlawed for the death of John de Draiton in Great Yarmouth, and his lands and tenements seized into the King's hand. The justices do not wish to take the assize for this reason; William therefore asks the King to order them to take the assize.
- Nature of endorsement
- Coram rege.Afterwards the King ordered the justices to assemble, and that William, the complainant, might show before them the charters, deeds, or other muniments, if he had any, for his title to the aforesaid tenements. And according to what he showed, an answer would be given him according to what was just etc.And because the same William afterwards showed before the council and justices various deeds, namely one through which he first entered the aforesaid tenements for term of life, on the demise of a certain Juliana Pecche, and which was written at Michaelmas, at the end of the twenty-fifth year of the present king, and other deeds of quitclaim for the same tenements, in the name of William Peche, made to William de Reppes, of later date - one from the eve of All Saints at the end of the king's twenty-sixth year, and another from St Gregory's day in the twenty-seventh year - which deeds are sufficient for his title if they are correct and good, it seems to the council and justices that the justices before whom etc. are to be ordered to proceed to take the assize, provided that in the examination of the assize they are to take good advice on the time of the making of the aforesaid deeds, and on the time of the seisin of William the complainant, and of the manner of the seisin made to him, and also of the time of the felony committed by William Peche, and if the aforesaid deeds were made before the time when the felony was committed or after. And according to what they find they are to proceed etc., and send back to the King what they have found before they give judgment.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petitioner mentions being delayed until 29 Edward I (20 November 1300 - 19 November 1301), when William Peche was outlawed. He was pardoned on 16 October 1301 (CCW 1244-1326, p. 141). The petition would therefore seem to date from around this time.
