There is a matter touching a poor town in which the King receives about £18 or £20 a year; it has a very fair castle which now falls into decay and all the town 'allmost become beggers' unless the King will relieve them not at any charge of his but by granting them that the assizes, quarter sessions and concourses may by his grant and the confirmation of their charter, be granted to them with such other things as they shall petition for their own good and the King's advantage. To further their suit and petition, since William Maurice has promised his best endeavours, being himself one of the corporation and his ancestors having for long been constables who dwelled in the castle and kept it in repair until recently in the late Queen's time the office and fee were granted to strangers who only accepted the fee and allowed the house to fall into decay, they requested William Maurice to name someone to deal for them as the cause required. He, in goodwill to Pattricke Morrey and from his acquaintance with him, was bold to prefer the bearer, his kinsman, to Pattricke Morrey to move the matter and if Pattricke Morrey is willing to take it in hand, William Maurice had rather they should gratify him than any other, not doubting his care in prosecuting the cause. Refers the rest to the bearer's report. Copy.

The petitioner for 50 years and his ancestors for many years before him have been tenants of the King and his predecessors in two parcels of ground, called coed keven and coed y Garreg vawr, part of the [township] of Gest, Caernarfonshire, at a certain yearly rent. The suppliant about 20 years ago took a lease for 26 years for the parcels from Sir William Mores, the King's 'ffermor' of the township, at a certain rent; he permitted the suppliant to enjoy it for 20 years but about six months ago, and at various times since, has vexed the suppliant in the Court of Exchequer at Westminster for supposed trespass on the parcels and often interrupted the suppliant's possession therein and chased and impounded his cattle feeding there. In further wrong to the suppliant, understanding that he came to answer his suit, William Mores had him arrested at two actions and he was committed to the Fleet and the 'counter' without just cause and to his hindrance. William Mores, one of the King's deputy lieutenants in the county and of great command and ability, threatens to beggar the suppliant with long and tedious suits of law for the lands, which are all the living he has to maintain himself, his wife, children and family. [He] has grown poor and aged and is unable to follow his cause in law with so great an adversary, though his title is good. Begs Robert Cecil to refer the examination of his cause to the Justices of the Great Sessions for the county, and that they, on proof of his title, settle the possession of the premises in him according to equity, and make an end thereof by the assent of both parties, or else certify who's at fault and the suppliant ...
