To the justices of the Bench. Order at the supplication of R. bishop of Durham to continue in the same state in which it now is until the quinzaine of Easter next the plea between the king and the bishop as to whether the bishop shall permit the king to present a fit person to Symondburn church, which the bishop claims to hold for his own uses by charters of the king's progenitors, by apostolic bulls and of right; as at the bishop's request the king ordered the justices to continue that plea in the state in which it then was until certain days now past, so that the king being further informed of his right and the bishop's right in this respect may cause justice to be done in the premises, and hitherto the king has not been fully informed concerning his right or that of the bishop in this respect. By K. and C.
