Memorandum that four rolls, entitled roll 32, which were at one time here and contained the record and process of a cause by writ of scire facias between Richard Seymor demandant and the prior of Montacute tenant concerning the manor of Tentenhulle, are taken hence and now lacking, for that at the parliament holden at New Sarum on Friday before St. Mark 7 Richard II, upon petition of the prior, presented to the king in parliament, averring divers errors in the record and process and in the rendering of judgment thereupon, the same were viewed and heard, and it was determined that the demandant should be warned by writ of scire facias to be at the next parliament to hear etc.; wherefore at the parliament holden at Westminster on the morrow of Martinmas 8 Richard II, the prior appearing by attorney and the demandant in person, Robert Tresilian the chief justice was on the king's behalf told to bring to the parliament the record and process and all things that concerned the same, and he brought the same and delivered them up; and so they remain among other records of that parliament, because the judgment here rendered is reversed, and nought here remains of record concerning that cause.
