Description (What the record is about)
-
- Petitioners
- Burgesses of Scarborough.
- Addressees
- King and council.
- Nature of request
- The burgesses request that the grant of the keeping of the quay in the town to a stranger for his life for his maintenance be repealed since they had a grant of quayage to maintain the quay for five years, which term is not yet expired, and the town will be ruined if the grant is not repealed.1)
- Nature of endorsement
- It seems to the council, if it please the king, that such custodies ought not to be granted for terms of life, and quayage ought not to be granted but for a term, and be collected by people of the town who ought to answer for it.2) Let certain people be assigned to audit the account of the collectors . . . so that a commission be . . . to anybody to be repealed.
- Places mentioned
- Scarborough, [North Riding of York].
-
Note (Additional information about the record)
- The guard notes link this to a patent roll reference for an oyer and terminer into the misappropriation of sums raised from quayage by the burgesses (CPR 1313-17, p.586). It is not entirely clear that this reference relates to this petition directly so that the date ascribed to the petition based on this must be suspect, hence? 1316.
