To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to deliver to John Nevill of Horneby the hundred of Bradeford, co. Salop, worth 24 marks together with the issues thereof from the time of its being taken the king's hand, to be held until the next parliament, so that it may be ordained what shall be done, notwithstanding the king's order to take hundreds into his hand, discharging the sheriff of that county towards king inthe meantime ; as the king lately granted the said hundred to with the consent of the prelates, earls, barons, and other magnates of realm, for his good and laudable service, and chiefly on account of the to which John exposed himself in Nottingham castle in arresting persons by whom the affairs of the kingdom and the people were great harm, at the king's command and wish and with certain lieges, to hold for himself and the legitimate male heirs of his body, reversion to the king in default of such issue; and John has besought king to cause the said hundred to be delivered to him, as it is now taken the king's hand by virtue of the statute for taking hundreds which were to the ferras of counties into the king's hand, and for rejoining to those counties.
