John Drew, clerk and another, in respect of the possession of the manor of East Beckham, of yearly value 20 marks, sold this manor to William Mariot of Cromer, now dead, and Joan, his wife, still living, for 450 marks, honestly paid by him to the said John Drew, and through the said sale entrusted the said William and Joan to have and to hold to them and their heirs absolutely, as a result of which William of the said manor allowed John Rudde and John Clement of Cromer to have it as tenants and their heirs for ever, to the profit of the said William and Joan. And after the said William died, Joan agreed to sell the manor to William Paston in a form recorded between them, to have and to hold for the said William Paston and his heirs absolutely. After this agreement, the Monday next before Christmas in the thirteenth year of the present King, John Griffin, Robert Brampton and Thomas Saxthorpe wrongly threw out the said John Rudde and John Clement and unlawfully deprived them of the said manor, and committed a great deal of damage there. After this, the said John Rudde died. Then John Clement, on last 13th November to the profit of the said Joan and to William Paston, took legal action against the seizure of the manor, naming Mr Edmund Hampden, at that time tenant of the manor, in respect of the freehold and the said John Griffin, Robert Brampton and Thomas Saxthorpe, asserting that the ownership of the manor should be restored, and the issues and benefits of it, according to the annual value as above, and the legal expenses. The intent in the end is that the said William Paston should own and enjoy the said manor as a result. Joan should be paid for the manor as in the agreement, and the outcomes and profits and expenses of the court, once the court case is agreed. Thus William Paston in respect of his interest in these properties, requests that he receive what the law, good faith and conscience require, according to the discretion and rule of his good master, the judge and arbitrator.
