Process continued until CP did not appear before the justices, and he was placed in exigend in the Hustings, and was outlawed. On this, on 6 July 1465 a writ of capias was issued, and Geoffrey Gate, then sheriff of Hampshire was to take him and have him before the court at the quindene of Michaelmas. GG then took CP at Petersfield on 2 August 1466 and was taking him to the king's gaol at Winchester, when Thomas Cotesmore and his wife Agnes, breaching the king's law, gathering to them various malefactors and breakers of the king's peace, forcibly took CP out of the custody of the former sheriff and allowed him to go free, as a result of which the former sheriff could not have him in this court on the said quindene to answer the plaintiff, for which reason his suit has suffered various delays. This was in contempt of the king, and to his damage of £40.

This was against the peace and to their damage of 100m.
Pleading: JC and RJ deny force and arms; parties on country. Concerning the rest, protesting that trees and underwood were not so great, or the trees and grass of such value as claimed, JC and RJ state that the plaintiffs ought not have their action, as the place concerned was a certain close called 'Le Frith', comprising 100 acres of wood in West Wickham, and long before the supposed trespass a certain William Crowemer, father of JC, was seised of this in his demesne as of fee. WC died, and JC entered into possession as son and heir, and was seised in his demesne as of fee long before the supposed trespass. The plaintiffs, claiming the property by virtue of a certain charter of demise made to them for life by WC, then entered the close, even though no part of that close should have passed to them by virtue of that demise. Then, JC, and RJ as servant of JC, then re-entered the property at the time of the alleged trespass, as seemed right.
Pleading: RS and AC, protesting that WC did not die seised as claimed, state that before WC had anything in this property, a certain Isabel Galion was seised in her demesne as of fee until WC unjustly disseised her. IG continued her claim, but dared not re-enter during WC's lifetime, but on his death she re-entered, and was seised in her demesne as of fee. Then, on 12 September 1467, she demised the property to RS and AC, to hold for two years, by virtue of which grant RS and AC were in possession until JC and RJ made the dais trespass, as claimed.
Pleading: JC and RJ, protesting that IG did not continuously maintain her claim, and that IG did not demise the close to RS and AC as claimed, state that WC was seised of this close in his demesne as of fee, and died thus seised, and JC then entered and was seised as claimed, and not that WC ever disseised IG.
Pleading: RS and AC repeat that WC disseised IG as claimed. Enquiry by country, jury here at quindene of Michaelmas.

Therefore this business remained undone. This was against the peace, and to his damage of £20.
Pleading: TW granted licence to imparl to octave of Michaelmas, with assent of plaintiff.
Pleading: [continued at Michaelmas 1468, rot 417] TW denies force and arms; parties on country.

At the time, TW came to the inn during his business, and entered the stable with his horse to put it into WD's keeping, as seemed right. This is the same entry as mentioned in the plea, and he seeks judgment. Concerning the rest, TW states that he spoke to WD concerning the right and title of the said inn, stating that the inn pertained to TW in the right of his wife Agnes and her sister Alice, and that he would seek to recover possession by the common law quickly and legitimately. He did not make any threats against WD, or cause any injury, and seeks judgment.
Pleading: WD repeats that TW made forcible entry into his house, and he did not keep a common inn there at the time as claimed. He seeks judgment. Concerning the rest, WD states that TW did make threats against his life and limb as claimed. Enquiry by country.

Pleading: RS in person granted licence to imparl to octave of Michaelmas. RS places Robert Forster in his place.
Pleading: [continued at Michaelmas 1468, rot 152] RS in person states that he ought not owe this debt, as at the time of the making of the bonds each bond was read to him in English as containing the following condition, namely that if a certain Thomas Snell, his brother, should pay the said sums to the abbot on the days specified, then the bonds should be cancelled. At this time he was a layman of little learning, and he, believing the bonds to contain these conditions, sealed them and delivered them to the abbot.

At the time of the making of the bond he was a lay man of little learning, and, believing it contained this condition when in fact it did not, he made, sealed and delivered the bond the WB; therefore this bond, not containing this condition, is not of his making.

Pleading: TP granted licence to imparl to octave of Michaelmas.
Pleading: [continued at Michaelmas 1468, rot 356d] TP states that he ought not owe this debt, as at the time of the making of the bond it was read to him as containing the following condition, namely that if by the feast of St Bartholomew next after the making of the bond, WB should make a sufficient legal document releasing to a certain John Teynton, John Sewall, John Derherst, William Banaster, John Badryn, John Philippes and John Seles all outstanding actions between them, then the bond shall remain in force; otherwise it would have no effect. At the time of the making of the bond he was a lay man of little learning, and, believing it contained this condition when in fact it did not, he made, sealed and delivered the bond the WB; therefore this bond, not containing this condition, is not of his making. Parties on country, jury here on the morrow of All Souls.
