Commission to Robert de Wylughby, Philip le Despencer, Ralph de Cromwell, William de Skipwith, William Thirnyng, Richard Sydenham, John Markham, Edmund del Clay and Robert Martell, to enquire and certify upon the petition of the Commons in the present Parliament that divers dissensions have arisen between men of the parts of Holand and those of Kesteven, co. Lincoln, because the metes and bounds anciently placed between those districts can hardly be seen viz. in a marsh extending between the waters of the Weland and the Wythum, by reason of inundations of fresh waters and accumulations of sand. They are to erect stakes, dykes, stone crosses or other sufficient landmarks in the places where such were formerly placed to mark the bounds. By pet in Parl.
