Mandate to the prior and the precentor of Dunestaple and the archdeacon of St. Albans to proceed, according to a papal mandate addressed to the archdeacon of Middlesex and his fellow judges, in a cause between the abbot and convent of Messenden and W. rector of Ambresdon, in the diocese of Lincoln, touching the chapel of Musewell, tithes, and other things, partly heard by the archdeacon of Oxford and his fellow judges delegated by the pope, and by Master R. de Cantilupo and his colleagues, to whom the said judges committed it, and, after an appeal to the pope, by the archdeacon of Middlesex and his fellow judges, who sub-delegated it to Master J. de Sancto Paulo, then official, the archdeacon of London and his colleagues, a compromise having been arrived at between the judges as to the termination of the matter within a certain time, to which, however, W. did not wish to adhere.
