Commission of oyer and terminer to Gilbert de Thornton and William de Sancto Quintino, touching William de Kelleseye and others of the county of York, who induce people without either the right or the will, to go to law; who sometimes with their assent, sometimes without it, sometimes entirely without their knowledge, cause writs to be made out and fines to be made thereupon in the Chancery, and obtain other writs under the names of persons in the nature of things not existing, whereby they may cause disherisons, grieve and disquiet others and extort money ; who frequently take money from jurors summoned in inquisitions before the king and his justices to save them harmless before the same, whereby such jurors, by reason of confiding in them, are often amerced and lose their issues.
