Comments
the provost was fined in 1467 for not producing a murage account (Gale 127). (Thomas)
In the sixth year of Edward the Fourth, "John Whitbull, provost of Navan, and Philip Cusake, burgess of said town, appeared before the barons and PAID A FINE TO THE KING FOR A CONTEMPT, BECAUSE THAT THEY DID NOT OBSERVE the day assigned them to answer to the king for the issues and profits of the murage and pavage of said town during the whole time they were bound to account."
Several others were sued at the same time. (Gale)
