The Paston Letters, A.D. 1422-1509. Volume 2 (of 6)

Note 231.1 — THE PASTON LETTERS Henry VI (continued 5)

Reading edition

[From Paston MSS., B.M.] This is a rough draft of a Petition which seems to have been intended for presentation to Parliament in the beginning of the year 1451. Parliament was prorogued on the 18th December 1450 till the 20th January following, but it did not actually meet again for despatch of business till the 29th April. It would appear from this Petition that Sir Thomas Tuddenham and his adherents were indicted before the Earl of Oxford at the sessions of oyer and terminer which sat on the 2nd March 1451.

231.2 This must be the Act of Resumption of 28 Henry VI.—See Rolls of Parliament, v. 183.

231.3 See p. 167, Note 3.

231.4 See p. 167, Note 5.

232.1 [Original note here in margin.] Answer neyther to the billes ne inditeing forseid, ne to non of theym.

232.2 See p. 47, Note 4.

232.3 A Cistercian monastery in Huntingdonshire.

233.1 A writ to inquire whether a jury gave a false verdict.

233.2 This is written on the back.

233.3 John de Tyrington. He was succeeded in 1449 by Richard Pentney.

233.4 The sentence breaks off thus abruptly in the MS.
