To the keepers of the maritime land in co. Essex. Order to supersede
the exaction made upon Anthony bishop of Norwich for finding any men

ready to set out against the king's enemies if they should attack the realm
for which the king appointed him with other lieges, and he has found
such men, both in his company and in his manors near the sea in co. Norfolk, for the custody of the maritime land there. By C. |

To the keepers of the maritime land in co. Devon. Order not to compel
the prior of Lodere to find men at arms, archers or others for that custody

of Wight for the defence of the same against invasion. By C. |

To the justices of the Bench. Order to proceed in a plea between the
abbot of Kyrkested and Alesia countess of Lincoln concerning reasonable
bounds between his land in Conyngesby and her land in Bolyngbrok,
Stykeneye and Sibeseye, and render justice to the parties, but not to proceed to render judgment without consulting the king, as the abbot asserted
before the justices that Alesia had unjustly drawn to her fee in those towns,
beyond the accustomed bounds, 250 acres of moor and 500 acres of marsh
of the abbot's said land, and Alesia alleged that the said moor and marsh
were parcel of the manor of Bolyngbrok which she holds for life by the
king's grant to her and Ebulo Lestrange late her husband and his heirs,
with reversion to Roger Lestrange, Ebulo's kinsman and heir, without
whom she cannot permit bounds to be made, and seeks aid from Roger,
and he came before the justices and alleged with Alesia, that the king
granted the lands as aforesaid with the said manor, by charter, and granted
that if the manor or any parcel of the same should be recovered against
them, he would cause the value of the land so recovered to be delivered to
them in suitable places, and that the countess holds the manor for life with
reversion to Roger, and that Roger cannot answer the abbot in the
premises without the king, wherefore the justices delayed to proceed further
in the plea, and the abbot has besought the king to provide a remedy. |

the money levied by them at the proffer on the morrow of the close of

such payments. By C. |

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Nicholas de Hoghton has
shown the king that whereas he and William de Kirkeby made a recognisance for 100l. to Simon de Bereford, then escheator this side Trent, in
the exchequer, and although Simon granted by deed that if Nicholas, to
whom he committed the office of sub-escheator in cos. Kent and Sussex,
should behave well in that office the recognisance should be null, yet the
treasurer and barons directed that the 100l. should be levied of the lands
and chattels of Nicholas and William because the king ordered the sheriffs
of Bedford, Buckingham and Southampton by writ of the exchequer
to direct Nicholas and William to be at the exchequer on a certain day now
past to show cause why the 100l. should not be so levied for the king's
use by reason of Simon's forfeiture, and they did not come on that day;
and Nicholas and William have besought the king to provide a remedy;
the king therefore orders the treasurer and barons to view the aforesaid
deed, and if they find by inquisition or otherwise that Simon made the
deed as aforesaid, then to audit Nicholas's account as sub-escheator and if
they find by this that he behaved well in that office, and answered well for
the issues thereof, then to cause the recognisance to be annulled and to
discharge Nicholas and William of the said 100l. By C. |
