Elizabeth, by the grace of God of England, Scotland, France and Ireland Queen, defender of the Faith, etc. To the Treasurer and Barons of her Exchequer Greeting: Because in the Record and process; and also in giving of Judgement in the plaint which was in our Court before you the aforesaid Barons of our Exchequer aforesaid, in the years of our Reign the 37th. By Bill between us and Richard Bushopp, of certain trespasses and intrusions, in certain of our Woods with the appurtenances called Alton, otherwise Aluington Woods, containing by estimation, 3000 Acres of Wood, manifest Error hath entervened to our great damage. And whereas in the statute in the Parliament of the Lord Edward late King of England the 3d. our progenitor, at Westminster, and in the year of his Reign the 31th. holden, made, amongst other things, It is agreed and established, that in all cases the King or other persons touching where any one complaineth of Error made in the process in the Exhequer, The Chancellor and Treasurer cause to come before them in some Chamber of Counsel nigh to the Exchequer the Record of the process of the same out of the Exchequer, and taking to them the Justices and such like sages, as to them shall seem fit to be taken, They cause to be called before them the Barons of the Exchequer aforesaid, to hear their Informations, and the causes of their Judgement, and the business thereupon to be duly examined. And if any Error was found, the same to be corrected and the Rolls to be amended, and afterwards them in the said Exchequer to do execution thereof to be remitted as belongeth, as in the said Statute it is contained: We therefore willing, Errors if any such were, according to the form of the statute aforesaid to be corrected, and speedy Justice to be done in that behalf, Command you that if Judgement thereof be given then the Record and process aforesaid with all things concerning the same, before our beloved & faithful Counsellor Tho. Egerton Kt. keeper of our great Seal of England, and how the aforesaid Treasurer in the Council Chamber next to the Enchequer aforesaid called the Council Chamber, upon Tuesday, that is to say, the 21th. day of the month of April, you cause to come. And to the same Keeper of our great Seal, and you the aforesaid Treasurer, the Record being seen and examined, and the process aforesaid, and your informations being heard, and you the aforesaid Barons further in this part with the Council of the Justices and other sages aforesaid Cause to be done, what of right and according to the form of the Statute was to be done. Witness myself at Westminster the 11th. day of April in the year of our Reign the 39th. Symons. At the said 29th. day of the said Month of April, the aforesaid Worthy Man Thomas Egerton Kt. Keeper of the great Seal of England, and William Lord Burghley Lord Treasurer of England, caused to come before them the Record aforesaid, in the aforesaid Chamber next to the Exchequer aforesaid, called the Council Chamber, and at the said day and place came before the Lord Keeper of the great Seal, and the Lord Treasurer, the aforesaid Atorney General of the Lady the Queen, and for the said Lady the Queen said, that in the Record and process aforesaid, and in the giving of the Judgement aforesaid of and upon the aforesaid demurrer in Law it is diversely Erred, that is to say, that the aforesaid Richard Bushopp by his plea in bar of the information aforesaid pleaded doth suppose, that the aforesaid late King Henry the 7th. was seized of the reversion of the manor aforesaid with the appurtenances whereof, etc. As of Fee and Right in the right of his Crown of England by colour of the Attainder of the aforesaid Edward late Earl of Warwick, and by the force of the aforesaid Act of Parliament, in the year of the Reign of the said late King the 19th. in the Bar aforesaid mentioned, by which Act it was enacted, that the aforesaid Edward late Earl should forfeit to the said late King all his Manors, Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments, whereas, the aforesaid late King by virtue of the Attainder and Act of Parliament aforesaid as before is said made, could not be seized of the Reversion aforesaid, before inquisition thereof taken, and of record remaining, by which it should be sound, that the aforesaid Earl at the time of the treason aforesaid by him committed, or ever after was seized of the said Reversion, as of Fee and right, and in this, that the aforesaid Richard doth suppose, that the aforesaid late King Henry the 7th. died seized of that Reversion, and that the said Reversion descended to the aforesaid late King Henry the 8th. as Son and Heir of the aforesaid late King Henry the 7th. Whereas in fact the said Reversion did not descend to the said late King Henry the 8th. nor by the Laws of this Kingdom, could descend before the Inquisition thereof for the aforesaid late King Henry the 7th. thereof to be found and of Record to remain. And in this, that the said Richard Bushopp supposeth that by a certain Inquisition taken at the Castle of Worcester the 5th. day of July in the year of the Reign of the aforesaid late King Henry the 8th the 23th. before Roger Winter Esquire than Escheator of the said late King in the said County, by virtue of his office, It was found that the aforesaid Edward late Earl of Warwick, was seized of the Reversion of the Manor aforesaid, as of Fee and Right, and so thereof being seized, the aforesaid Act in the aforesaid Parliament of the aforesaid late King Henry the 7th. in the 19th. year of his Reign aforesaid, was made in Manner and form aforesaid and that by Colour of the said Act of Parliament aforesaid, the late King Henry the 7th. was seized of the Reversion aforesaid, as by the Inquisition aforesaid in the Court of Chancery of the said Lady the Queen at Westminster in due manner reserved and here of Record remaining, more fully appeareth. Whereas every Inquisition taken upon whatsoever Attainder of High-Treason, taken before the Escheator, by virtue of his Office ought to be returned into the Court of the King's Exchequer, and there ought to be filled, and not in the Court of Chancery. And if in the Court of Exchequer returned, and there of Record it be not filled, than the said Inquisition is void, and of no force in Law. And in this, That whereas the aforesaid Richard Bushopp supposeth, That the aforesaid late King Henry the 8th. the 3d. day of November, in the year of his Reign the 23th. by his Letters Patents under his great Seal of England sealed, bearing date the same day and year, reciting, That whereas the said late King, the 12th. day of October, in the 12th. year of his Reign, had given, and granted, to the abovesaid Walter Walshe, the Manor of Grafton Flevard with the appurtenances, for the Term of the life of the said Walter, and whereas, the same late King, the 6th. day of December, in the year of his Reign the 21th. by other his Letters Patents, had given, and granted, to the abovesaid Walter, and to one Elizabeth than his Wife, The aforesaid Manor of Charleton with the appurtenances, in the said County of Somerset, To have, and to hold, to the said Walter and Elizabeth, and the longer liver of them, The late King Henry the 8th. for that, that the said Walter, the aforesaid Letters Patents, to him of the aforesaid Manor of Grafton Flevard, and the said Walter, and the aforesaid Elizabeth, the said Letters Patents to them of the aforesaid Manor of Charleton, in form aforesaid made, to the said late King Henry the 8th. in his Chancery had delivered up there to be canceled; By the said letters patents, gave and granted to the abovesaid Walter and Elizabeth, the aforesaid Manor of Abotesly with the appurtenances whereof, etc. to have and to hold to them the said Walter and Elizabeth, and to the heirs males of the body of the said Walter begotten: And the aforesaid Richard Bushopp in his plea aforesaid hath not showed in fact, that the aforesaid late King Henry the 8th. by his letters patents had given and granted to the aforesaid Walter and Elizabeth the aforesaid Manor of Charleton with the appurtenances, to have and to hold to the said Walter and Elizabeth for the Term of the longest liver of them, as by the Law he ought to have showed, and because expressly it is not showed in the said plea, that the same grants were made, but only by way of recital, The aforesaid Consideration in the aforesaid Letters Patents of the aforesaid late King Henry the 8th. in the year of his Reign the 23th. aforesaid made, are void and insufficient in Law, And the said late King, in his grant aforesaid, by reason thereof was deceived. And in this, That the aforesaid Richard, in his Plea aforesaid allegeth, that the aforesaid Walter and Elizabeth, the said Letters Patents to them of the aforesaid Manor of Charleton, made in the Chancery of the said late King Henry the 8th. had surrendered and procured to be canceled, By which the Estate of the said Walter and Elizabeth, of and in that Manor was determined; Whereas, by the Law of the Land, the estate of the said Elizabeth, then being under Covert Baron by the surrendering and cancelling of the said Letters Patents was not determined, or surrendered up. And upon this, That whereas, the aforesaid Richard Bushopp in his pleading alleged, That by the aforesaid Act of Parliament of the said late King Henry the 8th. the 8th. day of June, in the 28th. year of his Reign made, it was Enacted, That the said late King Henry the 8th. his Heirs, and Successors should have, hold, and enjoy all and singular the Manors aforesaid, with the appurtenances in Fee simple, saving always to all person and persons, Bodies politic and Corporate, their Heirs and Successors, and to the Heirs and Successors of every of them, other than to the aforesaid late Countess of Warwick, and her Heirs, and the Heirs of the said Richard late Earl of Warwick, Brother of the said late Countess, all such Rights, Titles, Uses, Interests, Term of years, demise, demises, Entries, Actions, Grants, and Conditions, which he, or any of their Heir, or the Heirs, or Successors of any of them have or had, or might to have, or aught to have had, if the said Act of Parliament had never been made, any thing in the said Act to the contrary thereof notwithstanding. And the aforesaid Richard Bushopp in his Plea aforesaid, doth not allege in fact, That the aforesaid Ann, now Countess of Warwick, in whose Right, and as Servant of which Countess, the said Richard makes Justification of the Trespass, and Intrusion aforesaid, was not Heir of the said Richard late Earl of Warwick, as by the Law of the Land it ought to be showed; and in this, that by the said Act of the 28th. abovesaid, The aforesaid Manor of Abbottesley with the appurtenances, whereof &c. was given by express words, to the said late King Henry the 8th. his Heirs and Successors, and thereof the said Saving in the same Act mentioned, is repugnant and void, to reserve any right in that Manor to any other person, and therefore the aforesaid Walter Walshe, and Elizabeth his wife, to have or claim any right or estate of, or in the said Manor, by force of the said Act of Parliament are barred. And in this, That whereas, the aforesaid Plea of the said Richard Bushopp above in Barr pleaded, is insufficient in Law to discharge, or excuse him the said Richard, of the Trespass, intrusion, and ingress aforesaid, upon which Plea the aforesaid Attorney, of the said Lady the Queen had demurred in Law, and demanded Judgement there for the said Lady the Queen, yet that notwithstanding, it is adjudged by the Barons, That the Plea of the said Richard is sufficient in Law, him the said Richard of the Entry and Intrusion into the aforesaid Wood called Alton-wood, otherwise Aluing●on-wood, the aforesaid first day of February, in the year of the Reign of the said Lady the Queen that now is the 32th, and from the same day, until the exhibiting of the Information aforesaid, and of the taking of the issues and profits thereof by that time to discharge.

I did sue to my Lord of Leicester and divers other of the Lords to speak in my behalf for the furtherance of the suit, so in the end the Queen said, I do like well, and am right well content that Mark Steward do cease from his Waiting until We shall Resolve otherwise.

After my most hearty commendations to your Lordships: This Bearer Mark Steward hath earnestly besought me to advertise your Lordships of my knowledge touching her Majesty's leave for the said Stewards not attendance to his Office of Sergeant-ship: Wherein, this is very true, that about Michaelmass, as I take it, in the 10th. year o● her Majesty's Reign, the Court being then at Windsor, Mark Steward, both himself, and his friends, for that he had a desire to remain in the County, earnestly traveled with me to be his mean, for the obtaining of her Majesty's good leave and favour, that without any prejudice, for not attending, he might at his pleasure so do, and for the supplying of his place which he had to serve about the late Lord Keeper of the Great Seal as Sergeant at Arms, he acquainted me with the good liking and contentation my said Lord Keeper had to have a Brother of his to attend in his place, To which also I gave my best furtherance afterwards: Whereby her Majesty pleased both to grant her favourable Licence to Mark Steward for his absence, and to allow his brother to supply his place, who was accordingly sworn therein, and many years served the place. Thus much being on my own knowledge to be true, at his humble and earnest suit, I thought good to advertise your Lordships, and so do bid your Lordship's farewell from the Court, the 21th. day of May, 1579. your Lordship's loving Friend, R.
