Pleading: John Goldwell amerced for many defaults. Thomas Iden, citing the statute of 5 Richard II against unlawful entry into property (Stat Realm, 5 Ric II, c. 7) , states that on 20 September 1465, John Goldwell entered into his manor of Fawkham without lawful right, in contempt of the king, against the form of the statute and to his damage of £100.

Pleading: John G states that TI ought not have his action, as long before the alleged unlawful entry, and before TI had anything in that manor, a certain William Rotheley, Nicholas Sebyle and William Swan were seised of the manor with appurtenances in their demesne as of fee, and thus seised they enfeoffed the manor to the defendant John G and a certain John Scot and James Goldwell and their heirs in perpetuity, by virtue of which they were seised in their demesne as of fee. And TI claimed the manor by virtue of a certain charter of demise made to him for life by WR, NS and WS before the said enfeoffment to John G, JS and James G, even though nothing within that manor ever passed to TI by virtue of that demise. Nevertheless, TI entered into the manor, upon the possession of John G, JS and James G, and at the time of the alleged entry he re-entered into the manor, together with JS and James G, as seemed right.

Pleading: TI, not acknowledging anything said by John G, states that he should not be precluded from his action, since long before the enfeoffment to John G, JS and James G by WR, NS and WS, the said WR, NS and WS, together with John Hill and Thomas Heth, were seised of the said manor with appurtenances in their demesne as of fee, and thus seised, at Fawkham, demised the manor to a certain John Donet and his wife Alice, to hold for the term of their lives, with remainder to Alexander Ideme and his heirs in perpetuity. By virtue of this demise, JD and AD were seised in their demesne as of free tenement. AI had issue, the plaintiff TI, and later died. JD and AD were seised of the manor, and demised it to WR, NS and WS, to hold at the will of JD, by virtue of which they were in possession. They thus had possession, and then enfeoffed John G, JS and James G, as John G has alleged, by virtue of which John G, JS and James G were seised in their demesne as of fee. JD and AD later died, and TI judged the enfeoffment to be to his disinheritance, and he entered into the manor as son and heir of AI, upon the possession of John G, JS and James G.

Pleading: John G agrees that WR, NS, WS, JH and TH were seised of the manor in their demesne as of fee, as TI alleged. However, he says that by virtue of an indented charter, of which he presents part, sealed by WR, NS, WS, JH and TH, dated at Fawkham on 30 November 1455, the property was demised to JD and AD for their lives or either of them surviving, with remainder to AI, by name of Alexander Edenne, his heirs and assigns, under the following conditions, namely that if AI should pay JD £40 as follows, namely 10m at Christmas 1455, 10m at Christmas 1456, and so on until the £40 is paid, and if AI should keep all the houses and other parts of the manor in the condition in which they were in at the time of the agreement during the life of the said JD and AI, then the property should remain to AI. However, should he fail in any of these payments or maintenance, then the remainder shall be cancelled, and JH, WR, NS, WS and TH shall re-enter, the agreement notwithstanding. By virtue of this demise JD and AD were seised in their demesne as of free tenement, and John G, protesting that AI, his heirs etc, did not keep the property in the same good state as at the time of the making of the agreement, state that at the time of the making of the agreement a certain house, namely a grange called a 'pesebern', parcel of the manor, was in good repair, both in its timber and its roof, but AI and his heirs etc did not keep it in good repair, and it was in ruin and the roof had fallen in during the life of JD and AD. JH and TH later died, and WR, NS and WS, surviving, re-entered the manor for default of the said repairs, as seemed good, and were seised in their demesne as of fee. Thus seised they enfeoffed John G, JS and James G, as John G has alleged.

Pleading: TI states that at the time of the making of the charter this grange was old and decrepit, both the timber and the roof, and thus fell down.

Pleading: John G repeats that at the time of the making of the charter the house was in good repair. Parties on country, jury here at quindene of Easter.

Pleading: RC came in person. And upon this the mayor and community of the king's borough of Plymouth came by their attorney, John Snape, and defend the rights of their borough, stating that Henry VI, by a charter granted to them with the assent of the lords in Parliament summoned at Westminster in his eighteenth year and later transferred to Reading, granted to the mayor and community of Plymouth the town of Sutton Prior and the tithing of Sutton 'Raf', a parcel of the hamlet of Sutton Vautort and a parcel of the tithing of Compton, all in Devon, to be a borough, with various other lands and tenements as contained in the act. This was for the defence of the town and the country, the safety of merchants. In this, the mayor and community were to have enquiry of all pleas within the town, before the mayor at the Guildhall, in the same manner as the bailiffs of the town of Oxford. They proffer in court the letters patent of the present king confirming this grant [inspeximus of charter, dated at Westminster, 15 March [1463], recited in full, in Latin, confirming charter of Henry VI, dated at Windsor on 25 July 1440; CPR 1461-7, pp.309-310]. They also proffer a writ close of the present king to his justices [recited in full], dated at Westminster, 24 January 1466, reciting this grant of Henry VI and the inspeximus and confirmation of Edward IV, and ordering the justices of the Bench to view the charter and not to disturb the liberties granted therein. Having heard these documents, and since the contract concerned in this plea was made within their borough, the mayor and community seek to have view of this plea in their court, according to these grants. The parties are asked if there is any reason why this should not be delivered, and they say no. Therefore, the mayor and community have delivery of the plea, and the attorney of the mayor and community give day to the parties in the Guildhall in Plymouth on the Monday after St Gregory the Pope [17 March 1466].

Case notes: Contains a recital of the terms of the foundation charter of the borough of Plymouth, 1439 [see Rot. Parl., v, pp.18-22], confirmed in 1463 [CPR 1461-7, pp.309-310].
