Cancelled on payment. 15. William son of Robert de Nevile acknowledges that he owes to Hugh de Eyton 20 marks; to be levied, in default of payment, of his lands and chattels in co. Northampton. 16. To John de Havering , justice of North Wales, and to Walter de Pederton, justice of West Wales. Whereas the king lately appointed them, at the complaint of J. bishop of Llandaff, his justices to hear and determine certain trespasses against the king's peace that are said to have been committed in Wales upon the bishop by William de Breuose and his bailiffs of Gouher; and William afterwards appeared before the king and his council in person, and asserted that he held that land by charter of King John of the king in chief with the liberties and other appurtenances of the same, with liberty that no justices whatsoever of the king ought to enter by the king's writs to plead anything there, and that they have not been wont since the lands first came to the hands of his ancestors: the king, wishing to be certified concerning this and to do justice both to William and to the bishop, has assigned to them a day on the morrow of the Ascension before him to do and receive what his court shall consider in this behalf, and he therefore orders John and Walter to supersede entirely the execution of the said order in the meantime.
