Commission to Robert son of Payn, Matthew de
Furneus and Richard de Chiselden, whom the king had previously commissioned to
enquire in the county of Dorset touching alleged attacks on foreign merchants
upon the sea and the seizure of their goods, and hefore whom an inquisition had
been taken at the prosecution of Stephen de la Funteyne, merchant of Perigueux,
who asserted that divers persons in the water between Weymuthe and the island
of Portland boarded a ship, the Seint Goymelote of Gerounde, freighted
with his wine, carried, away a great part of the wine, and cut the cables when
the ship was driven ashore by the wind on the island where the remainder of the
wine was carried off by other transgressors, which inquisition the king sends
to them with instructions to enquire further touching the matter.
