Scope and content
Received William Maurice's letter late on Saturday 4 Nov. Has fulfilled the business therein commanded by William Maurice as nearly as he could. The time was short for William Maurice's bill in chancery against William Lewes Anwyl and Hugh ap Edward and for William Maurice's other process against Robert ap John ap Humffrey. Brought them to Mr Humffry Lloyd, William Maurice's proctor, who could do nothing until the Monday ten days after the receipt of William Maurice's letter, for there was no court day before. He will then do what he can therein. As for the presentment and his confession, which Dr Lloyd had, put them in court and an excommunication was granted, but before it was sealed, Dr Rydle, who sits under the vicar general in that court, received a letter from Mr Puleston of Emrall on behalf of Robert ap John ap Humffrey and by that means it was stayed. Mr Brynkir labours what he can in that behalf. Cannot tell William Maurice to how it will prove. William Maurice's cause against Sir Richard Bulkley is to be tried next term as William ap William has written to William Maurice in former letters. They sued out a writ of destringas a decem tales and that is returnable on 30 Jan. at the Exchequer bar as aforesaid. If William Maurice follows Mr John Lloyd's directions he will not fail to be at the trial himself for his own credit. Has no other news to write to William Maurice but what he and Mr Brynkir have written before except that the Lord Chamberlain is committed to the tower and Sir Thomas Hawart to the Fleet for some speeches he uttered. Sir George Moor is lieutenant of the Tower, Lord Pembroke, as men think, will be Chamberlain and Lord Essex Master of the King's Horse. This is the rumour; does not know how it will fall. As for the cause against John ap Hoell ap Owen and others, calls on William Maurice's attorneys and counsellors daily. William Maurice asks the price of spices; both pepper and sugar have risen. Pepper is 2s.8 a pound and sugar 17d. or 18d. Postscript: The sheriffs' names are these: John Lloyd of Rhiwaedog for Merionethshire, Mr William Gruffith of Caernarvon and Hugh Lewes ap Hoell ap Ierwerth of Anglesey.
