the Parliament b Dugd. ibid. he went to the King then at Havering at the Bowre and totally submitted himself unto his Grace whereupon thô he had been Fined at 20000 Marks the King was pleased wholly to remit both his Fine and Imprisonment and the Year following the Lords and Commons themselves representing to the King that he had been deprived of his Offices and put from the Privy Council by undue suggestion he was restored unto them again However some weak Historians who resemble the Common People in Clamour and want of Judgement say how that was done in the Kings Declining Age after the Death of Prince Edward when he had taken his Son John of Gaunt to be his Assistant in the Government whom it seems the Vulgar could not endure But however at this time the Commons proceeded in their warm beginnings § 31. and besides this Noble Peer One William Ellis of Great Yarmouth was accused of sundry Extortions by him done when he was Farmer of the Kings Petty-Customs there and Deputy to Richard Lyon aforesaid for the Subsidy of Six-pence in the Pound granted unto the King by Parliament To which accusation it seems that the said William Ellis made a sufficient Answer § 32. But it was not then allow'd to be so For he was notwithstanding condemned to be Imprison'd and Fined at the Kings Pleasure Also John Peachie Fishmonger of London § 33.

But because the Day before Love had confessed so much to two Knights of the House he was now committed to Prison So that this Accusation fell of it self and as to the other of receiving Wages the Noble Lord wholly cleared himself Yet notwithstanding Judgement of Imprisonment and Loss of Lands Goods and Offices was given against him in like manner as against the Rest and that he should make Restitution of the Ninety Five Pounds to the Executors of the said Lady then lately deceased The Bishop of Norwich supposeth an erroneous Judgement to be given against him in the Common Pleas for the Archdeaconry of Norwich belonging to his Presentation and prayeth that those Errors might be heard for redress thereof Whereunto Answer was made that Errors by Law in the common-Common-Pleas are to be corrected in the Kings Bench and of the Kings Bench in Parliament and not otherwise As well at the Complaint of the Men of Laystoff as at the pursuit of the Commons the Grant lately made by the King to the Town of Great Yarmouth that one Place in the Sea call'd Kirklerode be annexed to the Port of Yarmouth shall be utterly repealed saving all other their Liberties Adam Bury Alderman and sometimes Mayor of London was accused of divers Deceits and wrongs by him done while he was Mayor of Calais and Captain of Belingen a Castle in Picardy between Ardres and Guisnes in the Marishes But he was not minded to abide that Tryal where Innocence it self would not avail unless Power would please to own it Wherefore upon his Non-appearance after Summons it was agreed that all his Goods and Chattels should be arrested and so they were The King ordaineth that from thenceforth no Woman should for Maintenance or Lucre present any matter in any of the King's Courts and particularly Alice Perrers on pain of Forfeiting all they have and being banished the Realm for ever IV.

Statute therefore provided The King willeth that the Statutes be kept and all just Complainants heard That no Purveyance be made for Hay or Oates for Horses The Statute shall be observed That the Payment of Merchants for Wafting over their Goods may cease The King will be advised It seems that it appear'd highly reasonable to that Wise Prince by this his Answer to this last Petition that such Payment ought to be exacted It being but equitable that those Tradesmen or Merchants for whose benefit and security the King at his vast Expence doth more especially maintain the Dominion of the Seas should by a proportionable Custom on those Goods so exported contribute towards the better enabling him to defend and secure them in that their Traffick And this Payment was called Tonnage and Poundage Further the Commons petition That the Subsidy of Wooll viz. of every Sack may cease But because that Subsidy had been granted unto the King for a longer time that Petition fell Then to the request That Sheriffs Escheators and Coroners may have sufficient Allowance in their several Counties it was answer'd that the Statute made for that Purpose should be kept That Remedy may be had against Sheriffs for Paying the Kings Duties The Treasurer upon Complaint shall pay the same That every Judgment in the Common Pleas may pass under the Seal of the Chief Justice as in Cases of Oyer so that the Charges of the Great Seal may cease This Motion seems unreasonable That no Pardon be granted to any Murtherer or Felon but where the King may save his Oath This the King freely granteth That the Fines of Chancery Writs may be abated The King willeth that the Chancellour consider the Quality and Degree of every Person That no Purveyor of Timber do take away Trees about any Mans House and that henceforward Exception be made as to that Point in all their Commissions This the King granteth That no Writ de Excommunicato Capiendo come forth before a Scire Facias be directed to cause the Party to answer And that the Party may answer to the Cause after Letters of Excommunication To these two Petitions this one Answer was given that it could not be granted That the Merchants may be paid their Loans in every Sack of Wooll Walter de Chirton the Kings Farmer of his Customs hath not yet brought in his Accounts It is Enacted That the Statute of Westminster made against the Destruction of Salmons be observed and that all Mills set on Rivers be thrown down It is Enacted that the Justices of Oyer and Terminer shall seise and take the Fines of the Parties in their Presence and by their own Accord And that no Pardon shall be granted to such as bring in False Money That Remedy may be had against the Oppression of Ordinaries and their Officers The Laws of the Land and of the Church shall be observed It is complained That the Custom for every 300 of Wooll-Fells was 46 s. and 8 d. whereas of old it was but 3 s. and 4 d. for every 100 that is 10 s. for every 300. The present Custom being of long time received and established ought not to be withdrawn That a Standard of all Sorts of Measures may be in every County If there be not there shall be That no Statute be alter'd for any Private Cause Let this Petition be better explain'd against the next Parliament Now it is to be observed that the Printed Statutes touching those that are born beyond the Seas and that touching the Measure and Content of Woollen Cloths Chapter 1. As also that of Merchandises to be sold by Strangers Chap. 2. Together with that of Forestalling Chap. 3.
