| Text (English translation) | Pleas held before John, King of Castile and Leon and Duke of Lancaster, and his fellow justices at York on Friday 5th September 1382. [John] de Gisburn, sometime mayor of York, in mercy for various defaults. The same John was attached to answer John Savage of York on a plea of trespass by bill.

Gisburn comes by John Brett his attorney, and upon this comes John [...]ngton the mayor's attorney and bailiff of the city of York, who says that this plea should be held in the court of [...] in York by virtue of a charter of King John dated 2nd July 1378 [reproduced here] and also a writ dated 1st September 1382 directing justices to follow the tenor of the charter. He also refers the justices to the case between Richard del See and Henry Sharrow in Commons Plea 3 RII (referring them to roll 415). Savage's attorney denies this, but it is decided that the mayor and bailiffs should have jurisdiction of this case and a day for hearing in their court is fixed. |
