To the sheriffs of London. Order to set free William de Gisburne
from Neugate prison, if there detained for the reason hereinafter
mentioned and for none other; as on finding by certificate of the

To the sheriff of Suthampton. Order to be in chancery in person
in the quinzaine of Trinity next to answer to the king as well for 100s.
at which the king has caused him to be amerced as for his contempt,
and further to do and receive what the court shall determine in that
behalf, bringing this writ; as lately by writ the king ordered the
sheriff to give notice to Robert de Lincoln, one of the executors of John
Malewayn and one of the executors of Nicholas Mockyng, to be in
chancery at a set day now past to shew cause wherefore he ought not
with other occupiers thereof to answer to the king for the issues and
profits which the said John and Nicholas took of the lands which were
of John Mockyng tenant in chief by them unlawfully occupied, and
further to do and receive what the court should determine; and
although the said writ was by Robert de Melton and William Tyrwhit
clerks of chancery delivered at Westminster to the sheriff, he took
no heed to do aught thereupon, in contempt of the king and to his
manifest loss, wherefore the king has caused him to be amerced as
aforesaid. |

chief, for his maintenance for five years now past, according to a
judgment of the court of chancery, giving notice in chancery in the
octaves of Michaelmas next by letters under his seal how he has
executed this order, and bringing this writ; as the said heir, being
within age and in the king's wardship, recovered in chancery for his
maintenance against the said Ellen, who has occupied the lands of
his heritage for five years, 20l. for the first two years (to wit 10l. a year),
20 marks for either of the remaining three years, and henceforward
20l. a year until his lawful age, as appears by the record and process
