J. Rogge is appointed to be bailiff at Great Jernemue (Yarmouth) at the time of
the Fair there, both for Dovorre and Romeney.
At fol. 58 b mention is again made of William Erl, as a “fozelere" [?fowler]:
“Justina” occurs as a female name.
At fol. 59a the Register for the 37th of Edward III begins.
Fol. 59 A A fine levied between Henry Lewes, of Romeney, and Thomas
Snelgar of Hope All Saints, and Petronilla (or Parnell) his wife. A letter also,
n Norman French, testifying that J. Mathone is free of the Cinque Ports.
Fol. 60 a. A fine levied between John Duddinghurst, triturator [?miller],
and Thomas Snelgar, of Hope All Saints, as to a tenement called “tanhous,” in
the parish of St Martin at Romeney. Towards the foot of the same page, the
Register of the 38th of Edward III begins. The first article in it is a letter
in N. French, from the Barons of Romeney “to their dear brothers and
Combarons, and friends, the Mayor and Barons of La Rie.” On the dolorous
plaint of Deany, now the widow of T. Swayn, their late neighbour, who has now
removed to La Rie, they hear that one Elizabeth Badch has heinously and
evilly slandered her, in a public and open place, as having been of evil fame;
and has asserted that for her larceny and harlotry (puterie) she has been driven
from the town of Romeney, and does not dare return. Therefore, for the love
of God, she has asked them therein to bear witness to the truth. They, therefore,
testify to her good conversation, that she left for no evil cause, and that she may
return whenever she pleases; and they further beg that she may have her former
good character restored to her.
Fol. 61 a. A statement (in Latin) that Hugh Goldsmith was elected “in full
commons, by sound of horn gathered together,” and commissioned to be bailiff
at Jernemue (Yarmouth) for Romeney and Dovorre conjointly: he being so
chosen, “because he could fill the said office in the best manner for others;
being himself not in the least oppressed thereby.”
At fol. 62a the Register for the 39th of Edward III begins. A fine is
mentioned, as being executed in the house of Richard Fleccher, and Agnes, his
wife, deforciants, because one of them was on a bed of sickness,—“in lecto
aegritudinis.” On the 5th of June, as set forth in N. French, a writ of debt was
issued to the Bailiffs, Burghmasters, and Eskyvyns, of Lumbardie [? Louvain],
in Flanders, for a sum of 13J. i\d. sterling, which William Swygre, “of the same
place,” owes to Peter Gay, “our Combaron.”
Fol. 63 a. A letter of franchise delivered to Ralph Hunte, to last for two
years.
At fol. 63b the Register for the 40th Edward III begins. It is set forth,
in Latin, that J. Gysors, citizen of London, lets to J. Segrave, of Upwaye, in
Dorset, a tenement, with tavern and other buildings thereon, late of Reginald
de Maydeston, in the parish of St Nicholas, at Romeney, for I2ff. and 2 hens
yearly; the same having been first surrendered by Segrave to Gysors.
At fol. 64a the Register for the 41st of Edward III begins ; it being entered,
it is stated, by D. Rough, “Common Clerk.” Stephen Davy, “of Old Romeney,”
is mentioned, a place the name of which but very rarely occurs.
At fol. 64 b the Register of D. Rough, Common Clerk, for the 42nd
Edward III, begins.
Fol. 65 a. W. Holyngbroke and Franceys are commissioned, on the 1st May,
to the Parliament at Westminster. A fine is levied as to land, between Henry
Lewes and John Milet, complainants, and N. Oly, and Christina, his wife,
deforciants; one part of which land is pasture, and the other hemp-growing
[canabaris], in the Parish of St Laurence, at Romeney.
