To John Moryn, escheator this side Trent. Order not to intermeddle further with a messuage and a bovate of land in Gedlyng, restoring the issues thereof to Roger de Pilleye, as the escheator returned that he had taken the messuage and land into the king's hand because he had found by inquisition of office that Matilda Cauce, who held certain lands in Gedlyng in chief, alienated a messuage and a bovate of land thereof in fee to Elena de Lamleye, then her servant (serviente), and that Elena alienated the said messuage and land in fee to Roger without the king's licence; and afterwards at the suit of Roger, showing the king that the said messuage and land are held of Adam de Everyngham of Laxton and not in chief, as is said, the king ordered the escheator to take an inquisition on the premises, by which it is found that the said messuage and land are not held in chief, but that they are held of Adam by scutage, homage, fealty and suit at the court of Chelford every three weeks and that they are worth 8s. yearly in all issues.
