Feb. 4. Eltham.	To Simon de Bereford, escheator this side Trent. Order not to intermeddle further with the lands of John de Sancto Johanne, tenant in chief, which he has taken into the king's hands by reason of the death of Robert de Monte Alto, and to restore the issues thereof to Emma, late the wife of Robert, Roger de Watvill, Roger de . . burgh, and William Goscelyn, executors of Robert's will, and to permit the executors to dispose of the said lands, so that they may answer to the king for the extent thereof, as the king granted the custody of the lands to Robert during the minority of John's heir, rendering therefor to the exchequer yearly the extent of the same.
	To the same. Order not to intermeddle further with the manor of Great Cotes, co. Lincoln, and the advowson of the church thereof, and to restore the issues thereof, as the escheator has returned that he learned from the information of trustworthy men that the manor with the advowson is held of the king in chief by knight service, and that Simon de Kinardesle, now deceased, entered the manor without the king's licence, wherefore he took the manor into the king's hands, and that he afterwards superseded levying the issues thereof until further orders from the king because, having searched the book of fees of the exchequer, he found in that book that the manor is not held of the king immediately.
