Pleas were held at Pickering on Monday 13 March 1335, before Richard de Willoughby and John de
Hambury. A long list of names including Robert (FAR00031), son of Simon de
Farndale (FAR00021), Roger del Milne of Farndale (FAR00013A), and Robert (FAR00012), son of Peter
of Farndale (FAR00008) were convicted before the Justices
on the evidence of the foresters, verderers, and other officers. They did not
appear, and the Sheriff gave evidence that they could not be found and had
nothing in his bailiwick by means of which they could be attached. The sheriff
was therefore ordered to seize and secure them, so that he could produce them
before the Justices on Monday, 15 May 1335. There are records of further
hearings in the matter on 22 September 1337 and 29 March 1338 when they could
still not be found. At a hearing on 15 September 1338 the sheriff was
ordered to search for them from county to county and they were to be outlaws if
they still failed to appear. Were he to find them the sheriff was ordered to
take steps in such a way that he has their bodies here at this day to make
satisfaction to the earl about their redemption for trespasses of hunting
whereof they are convicted before the said justices by the foresters, verderers
and other ministers.
The text translates as on
Monday next after the feast of St. Gregory the Pope in the year of the reign of
our Lord King now and the
feats of St Gregory the Great is on 3 September. The National Archives
translations suggests hearings occurred on Tuesday next after the feast of the
Exaltation of the Holy Cross 12 Edw III (1338 to 1339). There seem to have been
a series of hearings in the same matter.

The Honour and Forest of Pickering, 1894, Edited Robert Bell Turton, page 67).
Pleas held at Pickering on Monday 13
Mar 1335 before Richard de Willoughby and John de Hambury. The Sheriff was
ordered to summon those named to appear this day before the Justices to satisfy
the Earl for their fines for poaching in the forest of which they were
convicted before the Justices by the evidence of the foresters, venderers and other officers. They did not appear and the
Sheriff stated that they could not be found and are not in his bailiwick and he
had no way of attacking them. He was therefore ordered to seize them and keep
them safely so that he could produce them before the Justices on Monday 15 Mar
1335. A long list of names follows including……Robert filium
Simonis de Farndale, Rogerum de milne de Farndale, Robertum, filium Petri de Farndale …
