To William Trnssel, escheator this side Trent. Upon its being found by inquisition taken by Simon de Bereford, late escheator this side Trent, that Ralph de Beaupre at his death held a parcel of land in the manor of Penhalym of William de Chambernon, whose lands were in the king's hands by the death of Henry de Chambernon his father, by homage and fealty for ail service, and that he held no other lands of the king as of the crown by reason whereof the custody of his lands ought to pertain to the king, but that he held a parcel of land called Kelleynek of Richard de Campo Arnulphi by the service of one knight's fee and divers other lands of other lords by various services, and that John de Beaupre, his sun, was his next heir and was then aged two years, the king ordered Simon to retain in his hands until further orders the parcel held of the aforesaid William and not to intermeddle further with the parcel held of Richard, and afterwards, because Simon did not amove the king's hands from the said parcel, he ordered Robert Selyman, then escheator this side Trent, not to intermeddle further with the parcel thus held of Richard if it was in the king's hands solely for this reason, and to restore to Richard any issues received thence ; and the king now learns from Richard that the present escheator, by virtue of a writ afterwards sued out and directed to him, at the prosecution of certain persous scheming to aggricve Richard, to take into the king's hands Ralph's lands by reason of his death, the truth concerning the premises being suppressed, has again taken into the king's hands the parcel held of Richard, wherefore Richard has besought the king to provide a remedy: the king therefore orders the escheator not to intermeddle further with the parcel thus held of Richard, if it be in the king's hands solely for this reason, and to deliver to Richard the issues peceived therefrom, sending back to the king under his seal the aforesaid writ,
