mentioned and of the issues of John Comyn's lands, and
that the said Henry's lands are in his hand for the causes
rehearsed and are not nor ought to be for any other, to command
the same to be restored to him; as by certificate of the said treasurer
and barons, sent to the chancery of England at the king's command,
it is found that the lands of the said Henry are taken into the king's
hand for 15l. demanded of the said Henry at the said exchequer
for the escape of Geoffrey son of John Cogan, Raymund Synan
and Thomas son of Philip Barry felons at the time he was attorney of
William Morleye the king's marshal in Ireland, for divers other sums
of their chattels forfeit to the king, and for that the said Henry ought

him his lands, although the king is contented as well of those 15l. and
other the sums aforesaid as of the issues of the lands of John Comyn. |
