- Nature of request
- [Petition in three parts:]1) Valence requests remedy as he holds the town of Gainsborough and takes the tolls and customs from it by charter of King Henry III, but now Kingston and Ravenser Odd have been enfranchised by charter so that they are quit of all tolls, and Valence's bailiffs have been instructed to allow those people to go quit which is to his and his men's great damage.2) He requests remedy as his bailiffs of Bampton make juries of the king in that liberty, and have return of writ so that other ministers should be excluded, but by their default the coroner has summoned people of the liberty to make a jury for his inquisitions by the bailiff of Witney who does not make such juries to the prejudice of Valence's liberty and to his great damage.3) He requests that a debt of his father's which is being demanded cease to be demanded until Valence can come before the king. The debt relates to a trespass of venison for which his father was long ago pardoned.1)
- Nature of endorsement
- It should be answered after [...]2) If other bailiffs should come then the king's bailiffs and they are not sworn then the king's bailiffs are not to obey them, and if they enter without licence, they are to obtain a writ according to the common law.3) Coram thesauriato.
