Westminster.		 To the escheator in Wiltesir. Order to remove the king's hand and meddle no further with lands in Hurst to the value of 8 marks, delivering up any issues thereof taken; as it is found by inquisition, taken before William Warbelton late escheator, that the dean and chapter of Salisbury ought to find a chaplain celebrating in the chapel of St. John at Hurst three days a week, and have lands there to that value; and that inquisition being read in chancery, and the matter understood, it seemed to the justices, serjeants at law and others of the council learned in the law that the seizure thereof was of no force, wherefore by advice of the justices and serjeants it was determined that the king's hand be removed.
