216 Report of the Meetings for 1893. 



quently, at York, on the Morrow of St. Luke (St. Lake's day was 

 October 18th) in the 22nd year of the present King (1293) came the 

 foresaid Master by his attorney, and in like manner Roger de Hogham, 

 who pursued for the lord the King. And the foresaid Master produced 

 the foresaid charter of the lord Henry the King (Henry II.) great 

 grandfather of the present lord the King, which testified to the 

 foresaid concession, and similarly the charter of the lord King John, 

 the present King's grandfather, which attested the foresaid confirmation ; 

 and by these charters he claimed the foresaid liberties, and said that 

 he and all his predecessors used all the foresaid liberties without any 

 interruption. And this he was prepared to verify according to the 

 rules of the court, etc. 



And Roger replied that in respect that the foresaid Master claimed 

 to be quit of all customs and amerciaments of the county and suits 

 of the county, etc. This is not contained in the foresaid charter, 

 wherefore he asked for judgment for the lord the King, etc. And 

 the Master claimed this liberty from antiquity, etc., and said that he 

 and his predecessors were quit from time beyond memory. And Roger 

 replied that the foresaid Master was barred by his previously claiming 

 it by charter, etc. He said, moreover, that the tenements, which 

 the foresaid Master holds in the vills specified, were acquired after 

 the conclusion of the foresaid charter of the lord King Henry, great 

 grandfather, etc. ; • and besides the same tenements had been taxed, 

 anH he is prepared to verify this for the lord the King. Another 

 day was therefore fixed for appearance before the Sheriff, the diet 

 being at York on the Octaves of St. John Baptist (July 1st) there 

 being a suspicion about the charter, etc. (p. 123.) The second trial 

 determined nothing, and led to another postponement (p. 198.) Its 

 record, however, furnishes a better copy of sovae of the names of the 

 tenements in Northumberland, belonging to the Hospital, which were 

 in " Harep, Ditcheburne, Mitford, Newbigging, Bewijk, Heglingham, Carleton 

 (Charlton), Gliple (Shipley), Waungford (Warenford), Langeton (Lanton), 

 Brampton (Branton), Bremdon (Brandon), Hygele (Hedgeley), Wep'den 

 (Wooperton), Tytelington, and Crawlawe." 



Further details about the condition of the main establishment 

 will probably be obtained by following out the references 

 contained in the " Calendarium Rotulorum Patentium in Turri 

 Londonensi," 1802, fol. of which a list follows, which, even 

 from the headings, show that the legal inquisition of Edward 

 I. had not abated its prosperity.
