The like for Robert addressed to the justices next in eyre for pleas of the Forest in co. York (sic) for ten bucks (damis) taken in the forest of Shyrewod in the sixth year. To Roger de Clifford, justice of the Forest this side Trent. As the king learns by inquisition taken by the justice that it is not to the damage of the king or others or to the injury of the forest of Essex if the king should grant to John de Nevill that he may enclose his wood of Coringehal, adjoining his park of Halingbiri with a ditch and hedge for the enlargement of the park, and may hold it thus enclosed to him and his heirs, except inasmuch as the wood is distant half a league (leuca) from the great covert of the forest and that there is there sometimes repair (repertum) of the king's deer, and the king has granted to John that he may thus enclose the wood: the king orders the justice not to hinder John concerning this.
