† Sic.

Note of a fine between (A) John Hastynggis, son of Edward Hastynggis, knight, John Heydon, Richard Suthwell, Henry Spelman, and William Stather, clerk, plaintiffs, and (B) Roger Drury, esquire, and his wife Anne, deforciants, of the manors of Yaxham, ‘Cursones’, ‘Gerbrigges’, ‘Reppes’, and ‘Ilneys’, in Yaxham, East Dereham, Westfield, Whinburgh, Garveston, and Mattishall, and three tofts, 100a. of (arable) land, 10a. of meadow, 15a. of pasture, 5a. of wood, and 11s. of rent in Yaxham, all in Norfolk.

(The correct term for this document is uncertain, but Halliwell-Phillipps uses the term ‘note of a fine’ to describe two similar documents in Outlines of the Life of Shakespeare, 10th ed. (1898), ii. 11, 25; and ‘The note of the fine, or, abstract of the original contract’ is the fourth of the five parts of a fine enumerated by Jacob in his New Law Dictionary (1772), sig. 5C3.)

Richard Mynsterley, one of the messengers of the Queen’s Chamber, asks for an allowance of £3 4s. for riding at the command of the Lord High Treasurer (the Marquess of Winchester) from the Treasurer’s place at London to Yorkshire to deliver a letter to the ‘costomere’ ther, and for returning ‘with lyche [like] spede’ to London. Mynsterley asks for an allowance for his charges and pains to be rated by the Treasurer at 2s. 8d. a day and paid by one of the tellers of the Receipt. ‘I was xxiiij dayes in thys Jorney.’

Richard Mynsterley, one of the messengers of the Queen’s Chamber, asks for an allowance of £5 16d. for riding at the command of the Lord High Treasurer (the Marquess of Winchester) from the Treasurer’s place at London to Cheshire and Lancashire, as far as Hornby Castle, to deliver letters to the collectors in those shires. Mynsterley asks for an allowance for his charges and pains to be rated by the Treasurer at 2s. 8d. a day and paid by one of the tellers of the Receipt. ‘I was out xxxviij dayes in thys same Jorney.’

Richard Mynsterley, one of the messengers of the Queen’s Chamber, asks for an allowance of £5 16d. for riding at the command of the Lord High Treasurer (the Marquess of Winchester) from the Treasurer’s place at London to Bedford and Buckingham to deliver ten letters to the lords and collectors there, and from thence to Warwickshire to deliver seven letters to the lords and collectors there, and from thence to Nottingham and Derby to deliver four letters to the lords and collectors there, and from thence to Staffordshire to deliver four letters to the lords and collectors there and a packet to the sheriff of that place, and from thence to Shropshire to deliver three letters to the collector there. Mynsterley asks for an allowance for his charges and pains to be rated by the Treasurer at 2s. 8d. a day and paid by one of the tellers of the Receipt at Westminster. ‘I was xxxviij dayes out in thys Jorney.’

Robert Kitcheman, one of the ordinary messengers of the Queen’s Chamber, asks for an allowance of 26s. 8d. for riding at the command of the Lord High Treasurer (the Marquess of Winchester) from the Treasurer’s place at London to ‘Pesnell’ (Peasenhall) in Suffolk to deliver a writ to Sir Owen Hopton, sheriff of Suffolk and Norfolk, and for returning to London ‘with like hast’.

Richard Mynsterley, one of the messengers of the Queen’s Chamber, asks for an allowance of 26s. 8d. for riding at the command of the Lord High Treasurer (the Marquess) from the Treasurer’s place at London to deliver letters to Mr Dawbeny (probably Christopher Daubeney) at ‘Shyryngton’ (Sharrington), twenty miles beyond Norfolk—and perhaps for returning to London; the text is unclear. Mynsterley asks for an allowance for his charges and pains to be rated by the Treasurer at 2s. 8d. a day and paid by one of the tellers of the Receipt. ‘I was owt In thys Jorney x days.’

£66 13s. 4d. is to be allowed to Gilbert Gerard, attorney general, and to Richard Onslow, solicitor general, for their work in ‘drawinge of bookes’ and attendance in connection with the suit between between the Queen and the Earl of Northumberland concerning copper, gold, and silver mines [the ‘Case of Mines’], in which judgement was given for the Queen, and also for their work in another matter relating to the College of Llandinbrevie(?) (the details are indistinct), in which judgement was also given for the Queen.

John Gill had a lease from Queen dated 4 Mar. 1563, by which he was granted, among other things, a tenement late in the occupation of John Bingley in Over Trelabe, Cornwall, part of the manor of Carmedon Prior, and another tenement late in the occupation of John Shere in Nethertrelabe, part of the manor of ‘Clemeslande’ (Climsland) Prior, Cornwall. The yearly rent of the two tenements is 56s. 2d. and the fine is equivalent to four years’ rent, i.e. £11 4s. 8d. Gill having surrendered his interest in these tenements, the Queen, being petitioned for them, has granted them by letters patent dated 18 Nov. 1564 to William Sheres, in reversion for 31 years [see the Calendar of Patent Rolls, 1563–1566, p. 342]. The correspondent is therefore directed to repay Gill or the bringer of the letter £11 4s. 8d., and take an acquittance in return.

Humphrey Shelton, auditor of the Receipt, has worked diligently in his reckonings with the tellers, and they are now brought to ‘good and perfecte order’. It has come to light that one annuity of £40 a year, granted by the house of St John of Jerusalem for thirty years to Thomas Hennage, gentleman, has been paid for 4½ years after the end of the term, and that another annuity of £20 a year granted by Queen Mary to Edmund Beningfild, gentleman, for the term of his life, has been paid for three years after his death. A total of £240 is therefore to be paid back to the Queen. In consideration of these discoveries and of Shelton’s diligence and service they have allowed him £60. Stanley is to pay Shelton this sum and obtain a quittance in return.
