| Text (English translation) | Roger Rose and his companions from Bury St Edmunds who are obliged by record to pay 2000 marks of the fine made to the king for the whole town, state that certain people of the town, who were living there during the insurrection, and took part in it, and because they were charged with a reasonable contribution to the fine, have sold their lands and tenements, alienated any other goods they had in the town, and left - some now living in Norwich, some in Colchester, and some elsewhere - so that their share of the money cannot be raised. He requests that they be compelled to pay. Response: The names of the people who are, or will be, charged with the fine, and have fled currently, or who will flee in future, together with the sums with which they are charged, are to be certified by writ in Chancery, and writs of scire facias issued to the sheriffs of the counties where they are or will be living, to warn them to be in Chancery on a certain day, to show there any evidence they have for why they should not pay the said sums, and to do and receive what the court adjudges; and there is further to be done what it seems to the court is best to be done to levy and pay the aforesaid sums. |
| General Information | [1385] Rot. Parl. vol. III, p. 175b, no. 2 assigns this petition to 7 Richard II (22 June 1383- 21 June 1384), but it is clearly the petition presented in the parliament of October-December 1385 that led to the revocation of the fine set out in CPR 1385-9, pp. 56-7. |
