the ensuing Fair of Great Yarmouth, from Michaelmas to Martinmas. A note
says, however, that Hugh was taken ill; whereupon, John Symon was chosen
in his place, and had five marks for his pay.
Fol. 23 a. Certificate, in French, sent from Romeney to Sir Bartholomew de
Burghershe, Constable of Dover Castle and Warden of the Cinque Ports, as to
the wreck of a ship at Dengenesse; and agreement as to the salvage thereof, on
the terms of receiving one half.
Fol. 23 b. Another communication thereon from the same place, in French.
Fol. 24 a. A letter from B. de Burghershe, reminding the Barons of Romeney
that he had charged them, at the last Brodhulle, to certify him as to the ship
wrecked near their town, and of the goods salved by people belonging to their
members; how much, and into what hands they have come. He now requires
something more than the mere names of the salvors.
Fol. 24 A Forms of writs of debt, in Norman French.
Fol. 25 b. Summons, in Latin, by B. de Burghershe, Warden, to the Barons
of Romeney, to send six of their most approved Barons to appear before him at
Schipweye [near Hythe], to treat upon articles of the Court of Schipweie ; dated
in the 22nd year of Edward III (a.d. 1348). Mandate by the same, in French,
to the Bailiff and Barons of Romeney, that they are to let ship and pass
over to Caleys the provisions of Messire Richard de Totesham, flesh, wheat,
oats, hay, and bensche [?beans]. Points for inquisition at the Court of Schipweye.
Fol. 26 a. Letter, in Norman French, from the Barons of Romeney to those
of Hethe. After “greeting and free friendship and love,” they say that they have
received their “amiable letters,” praying that they would be pleased to admonish
and compel their townsman John Lucas, to deliver to their “loved Combaron,”
William Baione, his “spindeleres'1’ [a kind of net], which the said William left on
the sea by stress of tempest, and which John had taken to Romeney; the said
William rendering to John, for his trouble, whatever the law maritime should
award. The said John had owned to his finding the said spindeleres on the sea,
but who was owner he then knew not; however, he is now ready to deliver
them, if he receives what the law maritime may award him: dated 20th February,
in the 28th year [of Edward III, 1354]. Below, in French, is a commis-
sion to Hugh Colbrond and W. Holyngbroke to be at the King’s Council at
Westminster.
Fol. 26 A A further letter, in Norman French, on the loss by W. Baione of
his spindeleres, while fishing therewith, from tempest. He says that on the
Wednesday after his loss (upon Friday after the Purification) he went out at
high tide to look for them, but that John Lucas had previously found them, and
carried them away.
Fol. 27 Λ. After some entries of legal matters, the Register for the 28th
year of Edward III begins; commencing with a petition, in French, to B. de
Burghershe, the Warden, to the effect that N. and N., “of our members of
Prombull,” have been summoned to attend at the Court of the Port of the Castle,
on inquisition touching the geldable; the same being in defeasance of their
franchise.
From this point my extracts, it will be perceived, are, for want of space,
comparatively limited
In fol. 33 a a man with the name of “John Pikeffish, of Shipbourne,” is
mentioned.
In fol. 36a the “new barge” is mentioned, which the men of Sandwich had
lately built, by the King’s order (29 Edward III).
