To the sheriff of Lincoln. Order to supersede the king's order to cause William son and heir of William atte Halle of Lafford to come before the king's council, which order was issued because the king was given to understand that he was an idiot from birth, and not to molest him in any way in this behalf, as he has appeared personally before the king's council and has been examined, and he is found to be of sound mind and not an idiot from birth, as had been previously suggested. By C.
