Nature of
request:
|
Thomas,
Bishop of Exeter, requests that whereas he has long sued to the King to be
restored to the patronage of the priory of Plympton, which was seized into
the hands of Edward III by a judgement returned against the prior and
convent of Plympton when Doulissh was prior, and which Grandison did not
appeal, that the justices of the King's Bench grant nisi prius to take the
inquest before some of the King's justices and that they reach their final
decision according to law and reason.
|
|
Nature of
endorsement:
|
[On face]:
On the council's advice, at the request of the treasurer of England, the
King has granted this bill which was examined before the treasurer and
Bealknap, Skipwith and Percy, the King's justices.[On dorse]: Because the
King has granted this petition on the council's advice, the council was
made to examine on this matter Knyvet and all the King's justices and
serjeants, who say that the King and council can grant the writ of nisi
prius to take the inquest. Whereupon it was agreed by the council on 7 May
in the second year (1379) that the chancellor should cause a writ to be
sent to the justices of the King's Bench to grant the said writ of nisi
prius in this case.
