Reference
SC 8/199/9913
Date
[c. 1400-1413]
Description
Petitioners
John Mase of Limber, living in New Sleaford in Lincolnshire.
Name(s)
Mase, John
Addressees
King and lords of parliament.
Nature of request
[This petition is partly illegible.]John Mase alleges a conspiracy in a case between the petitioner, his wife, and William Fox, and Henry Fitz William of Kirmington, chaplain, concerning certain tenements in Kirmington, which allowed Henry to allege defects in the judgment against him, and to sue to overturn it, causing the petitioner to lose certain sums of money in which he was bound to Henry. He requests a writ to William Fox, Richard Walvyn and the others involved, to appear before the King on a certain day in this parliament to be examined on the matter, and that a suitable remedy might be found for him on the basis of this.
Nature of endorsement
This petition is to be sent to Chancery, and the Chancellor is to have power, by authority of parliament, to have come before him on a certain day the parties named in this petition; and when the Chancellor has called the justices whom he wishes, from one Bench and the other, and when the matters contained in the same petition have been heard and understood, and the arguments upon this, the Chancellor is to do justice to the parties by the aforesaid authority.
Places mentioned
Limber, [Lincolnshire]
New Sleaford (Sleaford), Lincolnshire
Kirmington, Lincolnshire.
People mentioned
Richard II, King of England

William de Skipwyth of Kirmington
Henry Fitz William of Kirmington, chaplain
John Laycestre (Leicester)
Richard Walvyn
John Bratheld
Stephen Taillour (Taylor) of Limber.
Note
The petition mentions 22 Richard II, and also appears to mention the present King's second year [2 Henry IV, 30 September 1400-29 September 1401]. It would therefore seem to date from c. 1400-1413.
