[Part of case deficient] Later on the morrow of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross [15 September] at Lancastre in the above year come the parties before J. de R. and W. de N. and, Margery being unable to produce the record of the Roll of Walter de Helyun and his fellow Justices last in Eyre, the case is proceeded with. Plaintiffs say that John de Harewode, father of Alan, held the tenement of Margery, and committed felony by killing a man; therefore, after the King's year etc., Robert de Haunton entered upon the tenement on payment of fine. Defendant says that plaintiffs, after his father's felony, put him in possession, and that he took the fealties and services and lived in the capital house from Mid-Lent until after the feast of S. John Baptist, when plaintiffs ejected him.

Verdict, that John father of Alan committed a felony and fled, so that the tenement came to the King's hand; and after a year and a day Robert made a fine with the King and was peaceably seised until Adam de Blakeburn, John his son, Geoffrey de Bylinton and Henry de Walleye, friends of Alan, agreed with Robert in Mid-Lent 5 Henry III [21 March 1220-1] that Alan should have the tenement on payment of 15 marks at the Nativity of S. John Baptist following [24 June 1221], Adam and John his son being sureties: the sureties are dead, no payments were made, and so plaintiffs entered and seized the premises as the inheritance of Margery. Before the Justices last in Eyre it was agreed between the parties that Alan, with the exception of 20 acres arable and 20 acres of waste, should release all his right and claim in the said tenement to Robert and Margery and her heirs. Margery says that she and her husband are willing to abide by this covenant and in addition to give Alan 5 acres of waste. The morrow of Holy Trinity at Cliderhow appointed for delivery of Judgment.

At which time the parties attend and Alan asks adjournment to enable him to pay Robert. Adjourned accordingly to the Octaves of S. Michael [6 October 1277], and Judgment will follow the verdict of the Assize, in default of payment.

Plaintiff says that Gilbert enfeoffed him by charter produced, and that he occupied the tenement for 5 days after Gilbert's death until ejected.

Verdict, that Gilbert died on a Saturday about 3 o'clock; and plaintiff the same day came and wanted to take possession but was prevented by the chief lord of that fee, who at length allowed him to enter on the Sunday; which same day about vespers, William, as heir of Gilbert, came and ejected him; so that it cannot precisely be said that plaintiff was in seisin.

Novel disseisin—The Abbot of Stanlowe v. Adam de Hochton re common of pasture in 3 acres of moor in Wytewell.

Defendant says that he, as chief lord of Wytewell, appropriated the common adjoining his capital messuage under the Statute of Merton, and that the Abbot has ample common in 500 acres. The Abbot says that, long before Adam held anything in Wytewelle, his church of S. Mary of the Blessed Place of Stanlawe was enfeoffed by Adam de Wyndewell, lord of the vill of Wytenhulle, of a piece of land called Stanworle in Leylanchirre, and he produces his charter in these words:— "Know &c. that I Adam de Wyndehull have given granted and by this my present charter confirmed to Cod and the Blessed Mary and the Abbot and Monks of the Blessed Place of Stanlowe with my body a certain part of my land which is called Stanworthele in Leylanchirre with all its entirety as in woods mills waters and pastures and with all liberties to the said land belonging to have and to hold freely and entirely in pure and perpetual alms." He produces also the confirmation of John de Westle, who married Christian daughter and heir of the said Adam:—"Know ye &c. that I John de Westel have granted and by this my present charter confirmed to God and the Blessed Mary and the Abbot and Monks of Stanlawe for the good of my soul and of my heirs the gift which Adam de Wythenhull made to them with his body namely Stanworthe and Grendesholes with their commons and appurtenances as the charters of the said Adam made to them witness." Also the confirmation of one Richard de Alreton:—"I have granted and by this my present charter confirmed to the Abbot and Convent of the Blessed Place of Stanlawe the common of pasture belonging to the vills of Wytenhulle and Welton to feed their animals and cattle as many as the said pasture can sustain without contradiction and impediment of me or mine so that neither I nor my heirs can introduce or receive any other animals or cattle in that pasture except our own and those of our men dwelling in the said vills." After this grant Richard de Alreton had no power to appropriate any of the pasture or waste without leave of the Abbot or his successors; Richard son of this Richard, enfeoffed the defendant in the residue of his manor of Wytenhulle; and the Abbot asks how defendant can have more right than Richard to appropriate the common, and whether the Statute of Merton applies. Defendant says that, subsequent to the charter, Richard appropriated some of the waste, leaving part and keeping part, and asks why he to whom the lordship was granted should be in a worse position than Richard would be were he still lord. The Justices, wishing to see the grant, order Adam to produce it at Clyderhowe on the morrow of Holy Trinity.

On which day the parties appear and Adam produces his grant, by which it appears that Richard enfeoffed him of all the lands and tenements which he held in the vill of Wytenhulle with homages, rents and services of freemen and villeins, escheats and all other things to the manor belonging, without exception, to hold of the chief lords etc. And Adam repeats that Richard, after his charter to the Abbot, appropriated 100 acres of waste which he afterwards demised to the Abbot, who now holds them: and that Richard son of Richard de Alreton demised 3 acres of waste to Richard Banestre who built a lodge thereon and held it for some time; so that the Abbot's charter is void. The Abbot replies that the charter is not void; that Banestre's lodge was pulled down as soon as its existence became known; that Banestre was compensated by Richard son of Richard with arable land in Wytenhulle to the value of the 3 acres of waste; and that no waste was appropriated without the Abbot's consent.

Verdict, reciting the grants, subsequent to which no waste was appropriated without the Abbot's consent; the grantor were he living could not appropriate it, and Adam cannot be in a better position; and the Statute of Merton does not apply. Judgment for plaintiff. Damages 6d.

Verdict, reciting that the Earl of Derby gave the tenement to plaintiff, his bailiff, for his services; that, for trespass and arrears of account, he was taken by the Earl and detained at Liverpool whence he was removed to Tutbury, where he escaped; and, fearing he would lose his tenement, he enfeoffed Juliana and she Henry.
