The like to Simon le Conestable, William de Sancto Quintino and John de Melsa, on complaint by William son of William de Moubray, touching an appeal which Alice, late the wife of Thomas de Hurthewrth, brought against him in the Bench before John de Metingham and his fellows, justices thereof, for the death of her husband, and which was quashed there: the said William was afterwards, by the king's command and special grace, bound in bail to appear before the justices at the first assize in the county of York. The king, now understanding that Thomas son of the said Thomas has since obtained, at the procurement of the enemies of the said William, a writ for an appeal touching the same death before the said justices at the first assize, in order that the said William might be taken and imprisoned and prevented from suing pleadings begun by him in the Bench, issues the present commission ; and has commanded the said justices of the Bench to send the record of the cause tried before them; and the sheriff of York to cause the appeal of the said Thomas, with the original writ, to come before the first-mentioned justices.
