Oct. 16.
Westminster:
To the justices of the Bench. Thomas Page of Eggeswere has shown the king, by his petition before him and his council in parliament at Westminster, that whereas he seeks before those justices against the abbot of Westminster, the manor of Hendon, except a messuage, 200 acres of land and 12s. rent therein, as his right and inheritance, in which the abbot has no entry except after the disseisin which Geoffrey le Rous made unjustly and without judgment on Adam le Rous, grandfather of Thomas, whose heir he is, after the last passage of Henry III to Gascony; and the abbot, pleading in that suit, alleged that king Edward, son of king Athelred, granted by his charter to the church of St. Mary and the then abbot of Westminster the said manor except the messuage, land and rent by the reason of 17½ hides in Heandune, which charter the present king has confirmed, and that he ought not to answer thereupon without the king, wherefore the justices have delayed to proceed in that plea, as appears by the tenor of the record and process of that suit which the king has caused to come before him in chancery, whereupon Thomas has besought the king to provide a remedy: the king therefore orders the justices to proceed in that plea with all speed, notwithstanding the said allegation, provided that they do not proceed to render judgment without consulting him.

To the mayor and sheriffs of London. Order to cause proclamation to be made upon sight of these presents that no one shall molest the workers of cloth from parts beyond exercising their misteries in that city, upon pain of forfeiture, and to take those doing the contrary and imprison them in Neugate until further order, certifying the king in chancery of their names and of all action taken in the matter, as in the parliament held at Westminster in the 11th year of the reign it was agreed that all such workers who should wish to stay in the realm or in Ireland and Wales should come under safe conduct, and that the king would grant them such liberties as should suffice for them, and he caused this to be proclaimed, and now he has learned that certain malefactors of that city inflict damages on such workers who have long been staying in the city exercising their misteries, so threatening them in life and members that they will not dare to stay unless the king protect them.
