- Addressees
- King.
- Nature of request
- Robynson requests power and authority to attach and arrest Arnold and all his goods and cause him to come before the King and council to answer for his actions. Robynson was ordered by Eliot to attach Arnold or his goods at Dartmouth at the end of November in the 16th year [1476], because previously Arnold had unloaded and sold 29 tuns of Gascon wine at Topsham without paying any custom. Robynson took 4 tuns of Arnold's wine (which Ismay delivered into the Exchequer where they were valued at 46s 8d each), but Arnold escaped before he could come before Eliot to answer. Arnold has now caused four of Robynson's ships to be arrested at Bordeaux and brought him before the judges of Bordeaux where he was fined for arresting Arnold's wine.
- Nature of endorsement
- Writ of attachment to answer on the quinzaine of Easter next.
