Reference
SC 8/91/4517
Date
[? c. 1330]
Description
Petitioners
William de Brinkele (Brinkley), chaplain.
Name(s)
de Brinkele (Brinkley), William
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
Brinkele requests remedy for himself and all the commons as he has sued writs of oyer and terminer for seven years for trespasses in Essex by the parson of Liston and others who assaulted him and carried off his goods and chattels, and when the parson was on the point of outlawry he obtained a false acquittance of the trespass from the liberty of the town of Bury St Edmunds barring his recovery to his great damage.
Nature of endorsement
The law is such that it is appropriate that he answer the acquittance, it is not able to be amended without the making of a new law, therefore he should wait.
Places mentioned
Essex
Liston, [Essex]
Bury St Edmunds, [Suffolk].
People mentioned
Otho, Parson of the church of Liston.
Note
The petition is dated speculatively to c. 1330 as no surviving evidence exists for the petition, and the response would suggest that there was no immediate solution to the petitioner's complaint. The date is merely the date suggested on the guard probably on the basis of some of the preceding petitions, and is clearly open to question.
