Note (Additional information about the record)
- A file of documents relating to the suit brought by Wyke against Gernoun, now at C 260/92 no. 6, shows that the hearing had begun at Blackfriars in London before Sir William Fyncheden (Chief Justice Common Pleas, 1371-4), and was seemingly later re-started in Common Pleas in the spring of 1375, after the records had been recovered from Fyncheden's administrators. However, that file was evidently gathered together later, in reponse to a further writ issued on 13 July 1380, summoning all records relating to the suit into Chancery (unfortunately no reason for this is given). Since Gernoun's petition refers to the suit as having continued for a long time, and to the justices having been ready to deliver a verdict, it was probably presented at some point after the 1375 resumption, and may have been the reason for the documents being summoned into Chancery in 1380. Gernoun died in 1384.
