It has been ascertained in the roll of accounts of William Berrard, recently escheator in the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk, concerning the revenues of the same escheator from 25 November 4 Rich. II [1380] to 25 October next [1381], that the same escheator did not answer regarding the goods and chattels which belonged to Thomas Sampson, beheaded for the diverse treasons committed by him during the time of rumour, goods and chattels which were indeed appraised at 20l., which for this reason came into the hand of Thomas Pirt of Attilburgh [Attleborough, Norf.] and William Pirt of Great Elyngham [Great Ellingham, Norf.], just as is contained in a certain inquiry since held in the presence of said escheator by the strength of his office etc. Regarding which goods and chattels, the same Thomas and William ought to answer the King. Mention was made of the above in the aforesaid inquiry at Swafham in the county of Norfolk, on Monday after Michaelmas 5 Rich. II [30 September 1381], though the oath of Nicholas Baronem, Adam Palmere, John Hippegamen, John Fox, Walter Chandeler, John atte Cros, Adam de Twheyt, David Anyell, Robert Clement, Thomas Laverant and John Blabbe, jurors, who say that Thomas Sampson had goods and chattels, forfeited to the king on 8 August 5 Rich. II [1381], the day he was beheaded, to the value of 20l., which came into the hand of Thomas and William Pirt. The aforesaid Thomas and William Pirt were required to be here, before the morrow of Michaelmas this term [30 September 1383], to answer and to satisfy the king regarding 20l. for the value of the goods and chattels aforesaid. On the aforesaid morrow, the sheriff returned the writ, and it was commanded that the aforesaid Thomas Pirt and William Pirt be distrained, and the revenues etc. And they themselves did not come on the aforesaid morrow, but later ‒ namely after having gone into default ‒ the aforesaid Thomas and William came here through Henry Lesyngham, their attorney. They say that they themselves ought not satisfy the king regarding the aforesaid, because, they say, that the aforesaid goods and chattels which belonged to the aforesaid Thomas Sampson on the above-mentioned 8 August 5 Rich. II [1381] did not come into the hand of the aforesaid Thomas Pirt and William Pirt, nor at any time afterwards. And this they put forward to prove etc. It is said for the king that the goods and chattels, which belonged to the aforesaid Thomas Sampson on the day which he committed the aforesaid treasons and after, to the value of 20l. and more, came into the hand of the aforesaid Thomas Pirt and William Pirt, and are still in their hands. And it is asked for the lord King that it is examined by means of a jury, and the aforesaid Thomas Pirt and William Pirt say that which they said before, and they beg similarly. Therefore, let an inquiry then be made. And it is ordered that the sheriff of Norfolk do this on the quindene of Hillary [27 January‒2 February 1384] etc. And the same day is given to Thomas Pirt and William Pirt etc. |
