Nov. 80, Kempton

. 88 eo ee ee ee Mandate to the king's barons, knights, freemen and all his lieges in Ireland, by the faith whereby they are held to him, no longer to receive or permit to pass through their lands evildoers who, as the king is informed, banding together and riding through the land to lay ambushes and to perpetrate burnings, thefts and other damages, frequently disturb the peace there and who nevertheless are received by them, but rather to prevent them and arrest them, unless they are willing to have them in court to stand their trial for the misdeeds laid to their charge, and will give security to the justiciary of this when required. The king signifies the tenour of the above to the justiciary, commanding him to act in such a way by holding in check (compescendo) those resisting, if any be found, that the king's peace may be kept.
