To the sheriff of Salop. Order to deliver Richard de Eyton, imprisoned at Shrewsbury for the death of William Swytsmok, in bail to twelve men who shall mainpern to have him before the justices at the first assize if anyone wish to speak against him, as the king learns by inquisition that Richard slew William in self-defence. To Master Roger de Holebrok, steward of the forest between the bridges of Oxford and Staunford. Whereas the king gave to Baldwin Wak before his death ten oaks in the forest of Salcey (Salceto) for the construction of his hall at Stivinton, and Baldwin before his death received only six oaks, as the king learns: the king, wishing to show favour to Hawisia, late the wife of Baldwin, for the remaining trees, orders Roger to deliver to her the remaining four trees, if Baldwin received six only.
