part of the manor of Suthdissyngton, and not to intermeddle further therewith restoring the issues thereof, as the escheator returned that he had taken

learning from Adam that he had never joined the Scots, but had always
remained in the king's faith and peace, the king ordered the escheator
to take an inquisition upon the matter, by which it was found that
Adam never joined the Scots, but that he was taken and detained, against

as Sibyl has shown the king that whereas she seeks the said third part
before the justices in the king's court against John and Eleanor, and John
and Eleanor called John, kinsman and heir of John de Mohun, whose
person and a certain part of whose lands are in the custody of Bartholomew
de Burewassh, and another part of whose lands are in the custody of
William de Ayrmynne, bishop of Norwich, to warranty against Sibyl, and
the bishop, pleading before the justices, alleged that he had the custody of
two parts of the lands which belonged to John de Mohun, at his death, by
the king's grant, until the heir should come of age, and thereupon the bishop
produced the letters patent testifying this, and asserted that he could not
answer thereupon without the king, for which reason those justices have
hitherto delayed to proceed further in that plea, whereupon Sybil has
besought the king to provide a remedy. |

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Whereas the king ordered
Adam le Boghier, then keeper of the manors of Hathelseye and Carleton,
and of the lands belonging to Nicholas de Stapelton, to deliver the said
manors and lands to the said Nicholas, together with the issues and arrears
of ferm of the same for which answer had not been made to the late king,
to be held as Nicholas had held them before they were taken into the king's
hand [as in this Calendar, 1 Edward III. p. 4], and afterwards the king
—learning from Adam that although he had delivered the said manors, etc.
to Nicholas, and had rendered a final account to him for the issues for which
answer had not been made to the late king, and had satisfied Nicholas for
those issues by virtue of the king's orders, upon which the said Nicholas
released him from all actions in respect of the same, as may fully appear by
Nicholas's letters of acquittance, yet the treasurer and barons exacted
150l. 10s. for the arrears of Adam's account, rendered, as is said, in the late
king's chamber, for the issues of the said manors and of the manors of Berleye
and Tempelhurst for the time when he was keeper of those manors; and
he had no respite for the arrears touching the manors of Hathelseye and
Carleton, for which he had satisfied the said Nicholas by the king's order,
which were exacted from Adam without remission by summons of the
exchequer, and the treasurer and barons caused him to be distrained therefor—ordered the treasurer and barons to cause Adam to be discharged and
acquitted of the said arrears which they shall find him to owe the king by
reason of the manors of Hathelseye and Carleton, and from rendering his
account therefor at the exchequer, according to the agreement made in
parliament at Westminster in the 1st year of the king's reign, or to inform
the king if there was any reason why they should not obey that order, and
the treasurer and barons returned that the said order had not been executed
as regards the discharging of Adam of the arrears touching the manors of
Hathelseye and Carleton because it was found by inspection of the particulars of the said account, and of other rolls and memoranda of the exchequer
touching the same, that the said 150l. 10s. are exacted from Adam for the
arrears of his account rendered in the late king's chamber for the issues of
the said four manors, in common, for divers years, so that for this reason
they cannot find by inspection of the particulars, rolls and memoranda how
much Adam is indebted to the king for the said arrears by reason of the
manors of Hathelseye and Carleton, and because it seemed to them that they
could not proceed to such a discharge unless an apportionment of the said
150l. 10s. of those common arrears was made between the said manors;
the king therefore orders the treasurer and barons to view his previous writ
and the accounts and the rolls and memoranda of the exchequer touching
these four manors, having regard to the yearly value of each of them, and to
the sums answered for yearly on them by such accounts, and to apportion the
sum of 150l. 10s. among the four manors according to their discretion, and
to cause Adam to be discharged and acquitted of the arrears of the manors
of Hathelseye and Carleton by this apportionment according to the above
agreement, provided that Adam answer to the king, as he ought, for the
arrears touching the manors of Berleye and Tempelhurst, according to the
same apportionment. |

lands and rent had been acquired by his predecessors long before the publication of the statute of mortmain, and John de Hawe, late escheator in the
said counties, pretending that the abbot had acquired them after the publi
cation of that statute, without obtaining the necessary licence from the king,
took them into the king's hands by reason of that trespass, the king ordered
William de Northo to take an inquisition on the matter, by which it was
found that Robert, sometime abbot of Séez, acquired that messuage, land
and pasture of John de Bohun, knight, and the rent of Peter de Malebraunche, who held them of the abbot by certain services, before the
publication of that statute, to wit, in the time of Henry III. |

lived, for victuals bought by him, before 27 October in the 6th year of the
king's reign, at Newcastle, to be superseded, and to cause the said executors
and Robert to be discharged and acquitted thereof at the exchequer, as on
the said 27 October the king pardoned the men of Northumberland the
