Chap. XXXIII
“The King to the Sheriff, Health.475 N. complains to me, that R. has, unjustly and without a Judgment, disseised him of his free Tenement, in such a Vill, since my last Voyage into Normandy;476 and, therefore, I command you, that if the aforesaid N. should make you secure of prosecuting his claim, then, you cause the Tenement to be reseised, with the Chattels taken on it, and that you cause him with his Chattels to be in peace,477 until the Pentecost; and, in the mean time, you cause twelve free and lawful Men of the Neighbourhood to view the Land, and their names to be imbreviated; and summon them, by good Summoners, that they be then before me, or my Justices, prepared to make the Recognition; and put, by gage and safe pledges, the aforesaid R., or his Bailiff,478 if he be not to be found, that he be then there to hear such Recognition, and have there, &c. Witness, &c.”
