Feb. 6.
Westminster.		 To the justices of the Bench. Notice that on Monday 31 August 7 Richard II at suit of Peter de Veel knight Richard de Stapeldon knight was outlawed in Gloucestershire, and is yet outlawed, as appears by the record and process under seal of Robert Tresilyan the chief justice sent into chancery at the king's command, in order that upon the determination of a cause before the said justices between the said Richard and Margaret who was wife of Hugh de Courteney earl of Devon and William Lorkyns concerning the right of presentation to the church of Milton Daumarle, which is void and in the said Richard's gift as he says, and in case no such right is in the said Margaret and William, the justices may the more speedily proceed in a cause pending between the king and the said Richard for recovery of the king's right of presentation to the said church, which is void and in the king's gift, it is said, by reason of the said outlawry, so that such right of presentation be not lost by default.
