ABSTRACT1

 

SIR JOHN FASTOLF TO JOHN A BERNEY AND SIR THOMAS HOWES.

 

     Sends John Bokkyng on matters to be sped at the oyer and terminer.
They must remember a certiorari is out of the King’s Bench, and a procedendo
was granted at one time ‘for certain which had not appeared in the place and
pleaded.’ Has received all the stuff contained in a bill dated 28th November,
made by John Davye of Yarmouth, and delivered to one Roger Metsharp,
master of the little boat called The Blythe. Wonders they did not send the
great ship with malt. Desires provisions for Lent by next ship. Remind my
cousin Inglos that the man that ‘appeched’ Heydon be sent hither, if he dare
stand by his words. All the indictments against Heydon are not worth a half-
penny. Howes must take John à Berney’s advice about this matter.

     London, Thursday after Twelfth, 29 Hen. VI.

 

     Let all who were on the inquest for Bardolf a matter be indicted, whatever
it cost.                                                                                                            Signed.
