	Writ of certiorari to William de Thorp and his associates assigned to hold pleas before the king, commanding them to certify the alleged defects in the preceding inquisition, on account of which they have deferred and still defer process, 14 February, 22 Edward III.
	Endorsed: The reply of William de Thorp appears in the annexed schedule. Return (undated). It seems to the court that the inquisition, of which he sends a transcript, is defective in this, that it is inserted therein that John Fitz Henri held on the day he died in his demesne as of fee &c. two parts of the site of the manor of Whityngeham, not making mention that he was tenant of two parts of the said manor. It is also defective in this, that mention is made that he held 88a. arable and 8a. meadow in demesne there, and divers other lands and tenements, of the king by service of a moiety of a sparrow-hawk (nisi) or a moiety of half a mark yearly, to be rendered to the king at his exchequer in the castle of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, not asserting that they are parcels of the said two parts of the aforesaid manor, or of other tenements &c. Also, where it is inserted that Joan late the wife of Henry son of John, who was mother of the said John Fitz Henry, holds in dower all the residue of the lands &c. which were of the inheritance of the said John Fitz Henry &c. the inquisition is defective in this, that it does not declare how much is that residue, nor of what value, nor of whom each parcel is held, nor by what services, nor of whose gift &c. Also, it is defective in this, that in the end of that inquisition it is not expressly or distinctly asserted whether the said John Fitz Henry or the said Joan, on the day the said John died, held any other lands &c. in the same county of Northumberland of the king or of any other or not; and also it is defective in this, that the son and heir of the said John Fitz Henry is named in that inquisition John, son and heir of John Fitz Henry, whereas the proper name of that heir is Henry, as is said.
