Name(s)
de Neuton, Alice
Addressees
King.
Nature of request
Alice, wife of John de Neuton, states that because her husband was a juror on an assize of novel disseisin between William, son of Richard de la Chambre, and Robert de Hoppehale, and gave a verdict against William, William, Simon de Melsamby, William Tortemayn and Thomas Lungespeye came to Newton, broke into his house, dragged him out, and badly wounded him, saying that they had started with him because he actually gave the verdict, but that each of the other jurors would have similar treatment. An inquest has been held into this, and found that this is true, and that the malefactors were afterwards received by Richard de la Chambre and Maud his wife. She requests a writ on her husband's behalf to John del Idle, Hugh de Louthre and Thomas de Fyssheburn, or two of them, to enquire into, hear and determine this trespass.
