Order to intend to the taking of an inquisition to be taken before them and other barons of the exchequer in the exchequer between John Gyffard of Boyton and Katherine Giffard concerning a deed said to have been made at Barwe, co. Suffolk, the making whereof John Giffard denied in the exchequer, the taking of which is adjourned until the morrow of the close of Easter, unless meanwhile the abovesaid Hervey, John, and John, or two of them, come to those parts, as the taking thereof suffers great delay on account of the absence of the witnesses named in the deed. They are to fix a day for taking the same, and to stay in those parts, and to continue the process from day to day so far as it may be done according to the law and custom of the realm this side the aforesaid morrow, so that the inquisition be taken by all means before that date, By p.s.
