SC 8/215/10748
Date
[c. 1382]
Description
Petitioners
Esmond (Edmund) de Tettesworth (Tetsworth).
Name(s)
de Tettesworth (Tetsworth), Esmond (Edmund)
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
Tettesworth recounts that the King granted him for life the bailiwick of the town of Rye for £17 yearly, and granted Restwold a patent of the farm of the bailiwick for 8 years, for which term the petitioner agreed to pay Restwold £4 yearly, whereon he made a statute of the staple of £60 to Restwold. Afterwards, at the petition of the good men of Rye in aid of the murage and enclosing of the town, the lords of the council took the town out of the petitioner's hand, promising he would owe nothing to Restwold, and yet Restwold has sued writs in the Chancery on the statute. The petitioner requests that he be granted a writ of supersedeas of the said writs until the day of their return, and if the council then judges that the amount of the statute, or any part of it, is due, the petitioner will pay it.
Nature of endorsement
[On face] This bill was granted by the council.
Places mentioned
Rye, [Sussex].
People mentioned
Thomas Restwold
Richard de Scrop (Scrope), chancellor
