His judgment was only imprisonment in the 

 Tower, until he had made a fine and ransom at the 

 king s will ; and no more. 



NOTES UPON LORD LATIMER s CASE. 



50 Edw. 3. His offences were very high and 

 hainous, drawing upon high treason : as the extortious 

 taking of victuals in Bretagne, to a great value, with 

 out paying any thing ; and for ransoming divers 

 parishes there to the sum of 8. 5,000/. contrary to the 

 articles of truce proclaimed by the king ; for suffering 

 his deputies and lieutenants in Bretagne to exact, 

 upon the towns and countries there, divers sums of 

 money, to the sum of 150,000 crowns ; for sharing 

 with Richard Lyons in his deceit of the king ; for 

 enlarging, by his own authority, divers felons; and 

 divers other exorbitant offences. 



Notwithstanding all this, his judgment was only 

 to be committed to the Marshalsea* and to make fine 

 and ransom at the king s will. 



But after, at the suit of the commons, in regard 

 of those horrible and treasonable offences, he was 

 displaced from his office, and disabled to be of the 

 king s council ; but his honours not touched, and he 

 was presently bailed by some of the lords, and suf 

 fered to go at large.
