Essex, to be restored, together with the issues received therefrom, and o deliver to Richer de Refham and John his son all their goods and chattels found upon the said lands and taken into the king's hands by the escheator, when he took the said lands into the king's hands on the grounds that they were held in chief of the king, and that Richer and John acquired them without licence from the king, although the king lately confirmed by his letters patent the grant made by Robert Burre, prior ot the said house, and the convent to Richer and John of the lands aforesaid for the term of their lives, as it appears by inquisition taken by certain of the king's subjects appointed by him that the aforesaid lands are held of John de Boun by tbe service of the quarter of a knight's fee and not of the king.
