Details of SC 8/113/5630B
Reference: SC 8/113/5630B
Description:
Petitioners: John Gernon; John Dawe.
Name(s): Gernon; Dawe, John; John
Addressees: King and the lords in the present parliament.
Nature of request: The petitioners requests a remedy and that they be discharged finally of the false suits made against them by Thomas Hardyng, who alleged that they had destroyed his house in the late troubles. Harding by his malice forced them to make Statute merchants concerning the same, and he has received more than his house was worth, and has refused to seal defeasances to them, and has prosecuted them though inquisitions returned into Chancery show that John Hardyng was responsible for the damage.
Nature of endorsement: By reason that it is found by several inquests taken by sufficient men by force of a commission made to them and returned into Chancery, that Hardyng had received sums for damages made in the late unrest well in excess of what the damages amounted to, and that for other reasons declared in parliament the king, with the assent of the lords has granted a supersedeas of all writs made or sued by Hardyng sued against the petitioners until the next parliament.
Places mentioned: Tendring hundred, Essex; Manningtree, Essex.
People mentioned: Thomas Hardyng (Harding); John Hardyng (Harding); Robert Thorp.
Note: The petition probably dated to 1389 as a similar petition on the same matter with a near identical response was recorded in Rot. Parl. amongst petitions from a parliament in 13 Richard II (Rot. Parl., vol. III, p. 274) and supersedeas were issued on 29 July 1389 (CCR 1389-92, pp.58-60). The dispute between Hardyng and the petitioners and others remained on going a commission was issued into the matter on 8 December 1390, and further supersedeas were issued on 7 December 1391 and 23 February 1394 (CPR 1388-92, p.442; CCR 1389-92, p.520; CPR 1391-6, p.257).
