Reference
SC 8/88/4366
Date
[1330-c. 1333]
Description
Petitioners
John de Annesley, formerly the King's Bailiff of the honour of Peverel in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.
Name(s)
de Annesley, John
Addressees
King and council.
Places mentioned
The honour of Peverel
Nottinghamshire
Derbyshire.
Nature of request
[This petition is damaged and it is hard to be sure exactly what has happened.] John de Annesley states that the King had granted him his bailiwick dependant on his good behaviour, but that in the Eyre in those counties in the King's fourth year, the Justices ordered the Sheriff of Nottinghamshire to levy the farm, [possibly because of a complaint by John that he could not do so]. John requests a writ to the Treasurer and Barons of the Exchequer to inquire into the matter, and that he might be charged with what he was able to levy, and discharged from what he could not.
Nature of endorsement
The Treasurer and Barons of the Exchequer are to be ordered by a writ containing the effect of this petition that, when they have heard his complaint, if they can discover that he was kept from the profits of his bailiwick by reason of the cry, they are to do justice to him.
Note
Dated to 1330-c. 1333 with reference to the mention of the King's fourth year [25 January 1330 - 24 January 1331] and CPR 1331-4 p.421, which is dated 5 April 1333, and states that the petitioner no longer holds the bailiwick at this time. CFR 1327-37 p.89 is dated 4 May 1328.
