SIR JOHN FASTOLF TO JOHN A BERNEY AND SIR THOMAS HOWES.

[Sidenote: 1451 / JAN. 7]

Sends John Bokkyng on matters to be sped at the oyer and terminer. They

must remember a _certiorari_ is out of the King’s Bench, and a

_procedendo_ was granted at one time ‘for certain which had not appeared

in the place and pleaded.’ Has received all the stuff contained in a

bill dated 28th November, made by John Davye of Yarmouth, and delivered

to one Roger Metsharp, master of the little boat called _The Blythe_.

Wonders they did not send the great ship with malt. Desires provisions

for Lent by next ship. Remind my cousin Inglos that the man that

‘appeched’ Heydon be sent hither, if he dare stand by his words. All the

indictments against Heydon are not worth a halfpenny. Howes must take

John à Berney’s advice about this matter.

London, Thursday after Twelfth, 29 Hen. VI.

Let all who were on the inquest for Bardolf’s matter be indicted,

whatever it cost.

_Signed._
