Walter, parson of the church of Leyburn, and Martin, parson of the church of Esshetesford, of the manors of Preston, Dene, Hammes, Elmershton, Gare, Langele, and a third of the manor of Heriettesham, together with divers other manors and lands that were of her inheritance, and Walter and Martin afterwards granted the manors and lands to Thomas and Juliana, to them and to Juliana's heirs, concerning which the note of a fine was levied between the parties before the justices of the Bench by the king's writ, and that the escheator has nevertheless taken the said manors and lands into the king's hands by reason of Thomas's death, pretending that Thomas held them in fee and that he had such estate therein on the day of his death, wherefore William and Juliana have prayed the king to provide a remedy, and the king thereupon ordered the escheator to make inquisition concerning the premises; the king now orders the escheator to deliver all suariors and lands of Juliana's inheritance to the said William in the meantime, upon his finding security to answer to the king for the issues of the manors, lands, etc., aforesaid if they ought to pertain to the king.
