the sheriff of York. Henry son of Hugh, knight, has shown the king whereas he impleaded Hugh de Louthre in the late king's court before king, for a certain trespass, in which court Hugh was convicted by inquisition of the country on which he placed himself, and 3002. were to Henry for his damages in this respect, as is said; and Hugh placed in exigent in that county to be outlawed because he did not come into the king's court to satisfy him for what pertains to in the premises; and Hugh, contriving to destroy the effect of Henry's and the king's prosecution, demanded cunningly a writ of privy seal to the sheriff to supersede the said exigents, against the form of the of Northampton, containing that no order shall be given by the great seal to impede or prorogue the common law, and although such may come the justices shall not supersede doing justice in anything ; which pretext the sheriff intends to supersede the said exigents, as the has learned, the king therefore orders the sheriff that if the process in against Hugh is hitherto continued, then to proceed to the exaction outlawry of Hugh in that county according to the tenour of the king's order, notwithstanding the said writ of privy seal.
