And the sheriff returns that he has summoned him by William Broim and Nicholas le Qerk.
And now come the abbot, by his attorney, and Gerard, in person. And Gerard prays to hear the record on which the writ of Scire faeioi waa issued, and it is read. And Gerard does not acknowledge that his ancestor, John, held anything in demesne or in service of the abbot at the time he aoknowledgedf the acquittance as the record witnesses, nor does he acknowledge that he himself now holds anything of the abbot. He says that the acquittance was required by the then abbot from John by virtue of a covenant between them and a charter then acknowledged by John as the record supposes, and that he has nothing by hereditary descent from John in fee simple to bind him to the acquittance.
And the abbot claims that he is bound to the acquittance and prays that he may be adjudged to acquit him.
And Gerard says that in the record it is not contained that John acknowledged that the abbot held of him but only that by his charter he ought to acquit him, that the then abbot, did not hold of John but of Alice Leddet and Christiana her sister, daughters and heirs of Walter Leddet, by the service of 2 marks yearly, then under age and in the king's custody, and that the now abbot does not hold of Gerard nor has Gerard anything in demesne or in service of the abbot, and he prays judgment whether he should be bound to the acquittance.
And the abbot prays judgment whether Gerard ou^t now to be permitted to plead that he does not hold of him.
And day is given them here in eight days of Trinity. At which day the parties come by their attorneys and because it seems to the court that nothing alleged by Gerard ought to delay execution of the judgment, especially as l^at judgment was renderecl before the statute De donii was passed, as appears by the record. Therefore let the abbot have execution thereof. And the sheriff is commanded to distrain Gerard to acquit him. And because the abbot testified here that Gerard holds lands in the county of Bedford as well as in the said county of Bucking- ham, a writ is sent to the sheriff of Bedford as weQ as of Buckingham to distrain him.

The sheriff answers that, at his turn at Spelethome on Tuesday in the feast of St. Andrew the Apostle, 13 Edward III, William le Yonge, Walter Foun, John West, Gilbert North. William de Graveneye, Johr} Danvel, John North, Henry de Reydon, Robert le Clerk, Robert de Kellyveden, John Jolyf and William Scut say by their oath that the lord of Hane- worth ought to renair a bridlge at the mill of Eldeforth then in a dangerous state. Therefore the said lord is amerced at ^ majrk.
And the bishop comes in person and because in the presentment there is no mention made of who the lord of Haneworth is, or whether the dvke was not properly cleansed by the bishop's default, or whether the bishop was amerced on that account or distrained to repair the bridge or cleanse the. dyke, on which and other articles the court required to be certified before proceeding further, the sheriff is commanded as before to send the presentment with fuller information before the king in three weeks of Raster. Aj\({ the said sheriff, to wit ThomaR "Flambard. is in mp»rcy for his insufficient answer, and is affeered by the justices at ^ mark. Nevertheless he is commanded to have before the king at the said term from each of the four townships^ nearest to. the bridge four good men to inform Ihe king herein.
At which day the saidi sheriff produced in court the record and process of a presentment as follows, inquisition taken before Thomas Flambard, sheriff of Middlesex, in his turn at Spelethome, on Tuesday, the feast of St. Andrew the Apostle, 13 Edward HI by the oath of William le Yonge and the others named above, who say that the bridge at Eldeforth mill is in a dangerous state by default of John Dayrel, lord of Haneworth, who is bound by reason of his lands in Haneworthi to make and repair the bridge, as his ancestors, lords of the town, have used to do time out of mind. And for the four jurors from the four townships he returns that the writ came too late. Therefore he is commanded to have before the king at Westminster on Thursday after a month from Easter foiur men of the four townships, not of affinity to John Dayrel.
At which day come the bishop, the sheriff and men of four townships nearest the bridge to wit Twykenham, Hampton, Estbedefount Feltham, and Kenyngton.
