Andrew Sakeville and John Waleys, members of parliament for Surrey and Sussex, state that the sheriffs have lately found it harder to raise the farms of their counties because of grants of franchises within those counties, without the franchise being lowered correspondingly. And now the present sheriff has been ordered by the council to take control of Guildford castle and of the gaol there, and to live there, without receiving anything for this, although the castle is in a state of disrepair, which will be to his ruin and that of future sheriffs and their heirs. They request a remedy.
