Deciphering and translating Latin Quarter Sessions record: help please

[Yorkshirepudd]

Hi there,
Am hoping someone might be able to help me decipher this record from the Wakefield (Yorkshire) Quarter Sessions from 1682, relating to Thomas Randerson. Would love to know what it says in full detail. There seem to be two entries here that he appears in... and the only word that I've managed to decipher myself is 'thief'     Not having much luck with the rest of it.

Any help you may be able to provide would be hugely appreciated

Hi, and welcome to RootsChat 

These are two separate indictments, for hearings where Thomas Randerson (could be Rannderson or Raunderson ?) appears as a witness.

In the first indictment shown, Thomas Moxon, a bailiff for the county, is accused of having unlawfully extracted money from Randerson in connection with a suit heard in October 1682.

In the second indictment shown, John Dickinson is accused of having had Randerson arrested under a counterfeit warrant in May 1682.

This is the gist, in the order in which the alleged events occurred.
(I haven’t picked up every word, but I’m not seeing the word ‘thief’ anywhere.)

John Dickinson
And that John Dickinson, lately of Thorp Arch in the county of York, gentleman (through his attorney), on the last day of May in the thirty-fourth year [1682] of the reign of our lord Charles the Second by the grace of God King of England, Scotland, France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith etc., at Wetherby in the West Riding in the aforesaid county, on the pretext of his aforesaid office, of his own accord and with false authority, did wittingly, deceitfully and falsely make a writ or warrant (in English, did forge and counterfeit) for the appearance of the same Thomas Randerson of Walshford at the county court held at York Castle for the aforesaid county, and upon the aforesaid writ or warrant he did have the same Thomas Randerson arrested (in English, cawsed to be arreasted) at the suit of a certain John Hutton(?), to the loss of the same Thomas Randerson, and in contempt of the said lord King and his laws, and against the form of statute issued and provided for in such a case.

Wow, thank you so much for your detailed reply Bookbox. So interesting to hear my ancestor was the innocent party, and not a thief after all (i'd tried deciphering it myself, and used google translate to come up with the 'thief' translation... won't be doing that again  )

As it happens, the Sessions records show that he was indicted for theft a few months later, in 1683.

ADDED:
Pontefract, 17th April 1683
And that Thomas Randerson, lately of Walshford in the county of York, labourer, on the twenty-seventh day of January in the thirty-fourth year [1682/3] of the reign of our lord Charles the Second by the grace of God King of England, Scotland, France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith etc., with force of arms etc., at Gelstrop in the West Riding in the aforesaid county, did then and there feloniously steal, take and carry away one cow (in English, one cow), black in colour, then and there being found, to the value of fifty shillings, from the goods and chattels of a certain Robert Thomson, against the peace of the said now Lord the King, his Crown and Dignity.
Witnesses: Robert Thomson, Robert Tenant, Mathew Halliday, Charles Folter(?), sworn

In these West Riding sessions books, the plea, verdict and sentence are written in a different hand across the top of each indictment, in formulaic Latin, highly abbreviated. I think this one says that he was found guilty and was branded.

I am so grateful to Bookbox for translating these Sessions records. I had found them on Ancestry and put them in my tree for Thomas Randerson with the note that I couldn't read them. Is it alright for me to copy the translations? I hope so.

Yes  of course, you're welcome. Glad to be of help.
