To Roger Lestrange (H.xtraneo) and his fellows, justices last in eyre for Forest pleas in co. Essex. Order to cause to be replevied to the master of the military order of the Temple in England his woods specified below until the quinzaine of Michaelmas next, so that the king may then cause to be done what he shall cause to be ordained by his council after inspecting the master's charters, as the king learns by the record of the justices that the master's woods of Kersing called Stablereswode was taken into the king's hands before the justices for the waste made therein by the sale made by brother Robert de Turvill, late master of the order in England, and that that wood and the wood of the said master called Kingeswode, were forfeited by consideration of the king's court before Roger and his fellows in their eyre because it was found by the rolls of Roger de Clifford and his fellows, justices formerly in eyre for.pleas of the forest aforesaid, that the woods were taken into the king's hands by Roger de Clifford and his fellows for waste similarly made in them, and that they were not redeemed within a year and day ofthe eyre of Roger de Clifford and his fellows, and the king wishes to show favour to the master because the latter asserts that the aforesaid woods with his other woods are outside the regard of the Forest by the charters of the king's progenitors, which the king confirmed.
