Petition from John Creyk (alias Betes) requesting his release from prison
Details
John Creyk, alias John Betes, of Wymondham, states that he was maliciously indicted before the justices of the Bench of having risen up against his allegiance during the disturbances, and of other things, and was utterly acquitted by several inquests, but the justices do not wish to release him without the King's command because his name was included among those not covered by the general pardon. He asks that his deliverance might be ordered according to the law, notwithstanding this exception.
Response: If the said John has been acquitted by due process, then the justices are to proceed to his deliverance, notwithstanding that he is excepted in the manner claimed by this bill.
