By K To Roger de Wylughby, Roger de Baukewell, and Henry de Fenton, justices appointed to take assizes in co. Leicester. Whereas lately at the prosecution of William Brabazoun, knight, showing that he arramed an assize of novel disseisin before Roger and Henry against William Ammory, chaplain, Eustace Folvill and others contained in the original writ, for tenements in Sproxton, and because the sheriff of that county alleged that he took into the king's hands the said tenements placed in view in the said writ, to wit, 2 messuages, 34 bovates of land, and 33 acres of meadow in that town, by reason of a writ of privy seal directing the sheriff to take all the lands of the said Eustace into the king's hand, the said Roger and Henry delayed to proceed with that assize, and the king ordered them to proceed with the said assize, but in no wise to proceed to render judgment without consulting him, and William Brabdzoun has earnestly besought the king to order judgment to be given, as the said assize has been taken; the king therefore orders the justices to view the record and process of that affair and to proceed to render judgment with all possible speed. By p.s. To Roger Mauduyt, sheriff of Northumberland.
