To William Trussel, escheator this side Trent. Order not to intermeddle further with certain plots of the prior of St. Mary, Suthwerk in Reygate and Mecheham, co. Surrey, restoring the issues thereof to the prior; as the king directed the escheator to certify him upon the cause of taking into his hands of an acre of the prior's land there, and the escheator returned that he had not so taken it, but that Walter de Hungerford, sometime escheator in cos. Surrey, Sussex, Kent and Middlesex, had delivered to him by indenture 2 plots of land, one in Reygate and the other in Mickheham, by reason of the prior's trespass in acquiring them after the statute of mortmain; and afterwards, at the prior's suit, beseeching the king to order his hand to be amoved, as the plots had been acquired by his predecessors long before that statute, the king ordered the escheator to take an inquisition upon the matter, by which it is found that the plots are of the soil of the priory and were so from time out of mind, to wit from the time of the foundation of the priory, and that each of the plots contains a moiety of one acre and they are held of the prior and are worth 6d. yearly.
