To the sheriff of Gloucester. Whereas the king learns by an inquisition taken by the sheriff that a messuage and six acres of land in Bolesdon, which John atte Wode, who was hanged for felony, held, have been in the king's hands for a year and a day, and that John held them of William de Belesdon (sic), and that the township of Bolesdon had the king's year and day thereof, for which it ought to answer to him: the king orders the sheriff to cause John (sic) to have seisin of the said messuage and land.
