Malyns acknowledges that he owes to William de Dalton, clerk, to be levied, in default of payment, of his lands and chattels in co. on payment. the justices of the Bench. Whereas Roger Bavent, knight, on 1 July 18th year of the reign, granted by charter all the manors, demesnes which he then held in England and in Wales to the king, who granted them to him to hold for life with reversion to the king, the king has learned that certain persons, scheming to defraud that reversion, have caused certain letters obligatory, according to of the law merchant for 5,000/., to be made under Roger's name said day, and sue before the justices for the execution upon those by virtue of certain writs by certificates sent into chancery, which be to the king's prejudice, especially as the reversion pertains to him: orders the justices not to proceed to make any execution upon writs without consulting him.
