- Grygg, Burwelle, Preston, Reynewell, Stanerton, Lyncolne, Gedeneye and York, who recently freighted Lane's ship called 'James' of Bayonne with wheat and other merchandises to go to Lisbon or another port in Portugal and assigned their attorneys to safeguard the merchandises on the same ship, request that whereas Lane and his companions, threatening to throw the attorneys overboard or leave them in Spain among their enemies, sailed instead to Bayonne where Lane procured the mayor and people of the town to arrest the wheat and other merchandises, forcing the attorneys to sell the wheat and other merchandises at half their value and reload the ship with merchandises bought in Bayonne at very dear prices, to the petitioners' loss of 1000 marks, that the King's writ be directed to Lane, Bayonne and Falmouth, who are now at Sandwich with the said ship, to come to London to answer in Chancery concerning these charges.
