Doctor of Law, on the complaint of Thomas Mannynge, of Beighton
alias Bacton, co. Suffolk, tailor. By statute of 45 Edw. III it
was decreed that tithes should not be paid on large trees of 20
years' growth and upwards. Robert Drury, of Rougham, co.
Suffolk, knight, for 30 years past has been seized as of fee of one
close of land called the Gravill Pytt close and another called
Worshipps in the parish of Beighton or Bacton aforesaid. The
said Robert sold to Thomas Mannygne the tops and heads of
certain oaks, ashes and elms which he removed and disposed to
his own use. Notwithstanding, one Simon Ballard, clerk, rector

Christian for nonpayment of tithes, etc. Stay of proceedings in

| Clothiers of the North Parts trading to London and also of Wales, Devonshire and Somerset to the Privy Council. | |
| [c. 1614]. |
Through the late arrest made by the French King of
all English cloth in his dominions, the merchants of London have
been barred from their trading there, and petitioners have no vent
for their cloths. The principal cause is by the staplers and others,
who not only transport wools in great abundance into France, but
buy wools upon the sheeps' backs so that petitioners cannot get
sufficient wool under an excessive rate, which has risen from 16s
the tod to 28s. They pray that the staplers and others be forbidden to transport wools to France.—Undated. ½ p. (P. 2087.) The export of wool was prohibited by the Privy Council on 6 September, 1614. See Acts of Privy Council, 1613–14, p. 546. |

Refers to discrepancies between two
inventories of the contents of Cranborne. He made a note of
such things as should be in the house, but understands "that
some of the same weare lost when the Kinge was here att Cranborne". Concerning the present condition of the house, "itt
doth rayne in in many places whereby the sealing is in danger to
fall downe if itt be not intended in tyme, and the playsterynge in
the outt sid is much fallen downe. Ther is no thinge cane be
donn to itt untill summer mor then is donn to itt. I have taken
your Lordshipps parcke of Mr Swayne for the which I am to pay
11 by the yeare in keepinge the same greene as now itt is, the
copices excepted, and the cropp of the meadowe which I am
perswaded was better worth lv1 heretofore: for now no soyle
beinge layd upon the land since the same was enclosed nor no

wax mosse and barren."—Cranborn thes 16 Janerye, 1614. Holograph. Seal. 1 p. (General 71/11.) |
