Content description
Inspeximus of a record on the King's Bench Plea Roll of Trinity 16 Edward IV [1476]
Bucks, Robert Manfeld, of Armerdon, gentleman, in mercy for various defaults. The said Robert and Thomas Baylly, of Armerdon, yeoman, and John Hyll, of Burnham, butcher, his servants, attached to answer both the crown and
Thomas Worley and Katharine, his wife, for entry into 40 acres of pasture and 10 acres of woodland of the latter in Burnham contrary to the statute on 1 August 1472, which caused loss to the latter of £40. The defendants say the places consist of two closes called Estbalons containing 30 acres of pasture and 10 acres of woodland, and Westbalons containing 10 acres of pasture, and that a certain Richard Restwold, esquire, and William Moreys, clerk, before the said supposed entry were seized of the premises in fee and gave the same to Robert Manfeld in fee tail with remainder to John Manfeld, William Manfeld, Richard Manfeld and the right heirs of Robert Manfeld. The plaintiffs claim they were leases the premises for life by Restwold and Moreys, but this was long before the grant to Manfeld, who accordingly entered the same.
The plaintiffs say that long before Restwold and Moreys had any interest in the premises, Robert Poughley was seized thereof in fee and enfeoffed William Waynflete, bishop of Winchester, and William Westbury, provost of Eton, and Edmund Brudenell, with the same; who were disseised unjustly and without judgement of the same by Restwold and Moreys. Later Brudenell died. The grant as aforesaid was made to Manfeld. The bishop and provost re-entered and expelled Manfeld. They granted the same to the plaintiffs.
Finally on 3 November 1480 judgement that Restwold and Moreys unjustly and without judgement disseised the bishop, the provost and Brudenell. Damages assessed at 26s 8d and 40s costs. Teste Blllyng [Thomas Blllyng, chief justice]. Given at Westminster.
Seal of the King's Bench, bronze wax, on doubled tag.
