Membrane 36.
Oct. 24.
Gloucester.		 To William Gascoigne and his fellows, justices appointed to hold pleas before the king. Order to adjourn until the octaves of St. Hilary next all pleas to be pleaded before them on the morrow of All Souls, the morrow, octaves and quinzaine of St. Martin next in the state they now are or ought to be if the writs were before them returned, fixing the said day for the parties, and commanding singular the sheriffs throughout England to keep until then and on that day to return all writs that should be returned between a month after Michaelmas and that date, and the king's will is that they shall thereupon proceed as they would have done had the day mentioned in such writs been kept; as a deadly plague has suddenly broken out in the city of London, and is now newly spreading, wherefore it is feared that graver peril is like to happen shortly; and to avoid the same the king with assent of the council has made order that from a month after Michaelmas last until the octaves of St. Hilary all pleas before them shall be continued in the same state as they are until the aforesaid date.
To William Thirnynge and his fellows, justices of the Bench. Like order.
