To the sheriff of Salop. Order to deliver to Geoffrey de Cornub[ia], delay, a moiety of the hundred of Ovres, co. Salop, tegether with issues thereof, and to permit him to hold it in peace according to the Memébrane 26 of the king's grant so long only as Geoffrey shall render for that moiety much as was formerly wont to be rendered for the same, until otherwise notwithstanding the previous order to take such hundreds into the hands, as the late king granted the said moiety to Geoffrey for his good service, rendering to the king at the exchequer 6s. 8d., and now the king has learned that the sheriff took the moiety into his hands by reason of an order directing him so to take such hundreds, wherefore Geoffrey has besought the king to provide a remedy, and in the parliament summoned at York on Monday before the feast of St. Peter in Cathedra it was agreed that all who hold such hundreds in fee or for life by the grant of the king or his father, shall continue to hold them under a certain form, contained in the agreement.
