Nature of request
The merchants of London state that they have sued to the King of France for six years to have recovery of a ship and its contents taken at sea by force by Berenger le Blank, then Admiral of the King of France, and taken by him to Calais. The King of France and his council have often assigned them a day for payment for this, but nothing has been done. They therefore asked the King to grant them arrest against the goods of the men of the King of France, and this has been done several times, but these arrest were then countermanded, because the King of France again assigned days for payment. At the last parliament at York it was granted to them that no future disarrest would be granted to hinder their remedy, but the new arrest has again been countermanded by the King's letters. They ask that the remedy of arrest granted to them might not be hindered by any more such commands.
Nature of endorsement
[Deleted] They are to be examined in Chancery.[Not deleted] The letters which the King of France lately sent to the King on this matter, and the answer the King gave to those letters, are to be examined in Chancery, and if the period of respite is past, then the Chancellor is to do for the merchants what reason and law demand, without any delay.Enrolled.
