Swaneburn, held in frank almoin of the said John, mesne tenant between the king and abbot, as by his charter he was bound to do, and after adjournment until the ootave of Hilary it was adjudged that he should be distrained to acquit the abbot thereof from thenceforth, and whereas John de Molyns, now holding of the king’s grant the manor of Brehull to which the service of the bowl of honey pertains, for default of acquittance thereof by Gerard son of Gerard de Braybrok, kinsman and heir of the said John, has distrained the abbot for the same, he should summon the said Gerard to be here on this day to shew wherefore he should not make the aoquittance. And the sheriff returns that he has summoned him by William Broun and Nicholas le Clerk.
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 facias was 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 acknowledged the acquittance as the record witnesses, nor does he acknowledge that he himself now holds ung 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 ought 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 that judgment was rendered before the statute De donis 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 well as of Buckingham to distrain him.

. writ close, dated 20 January, 13 Edward III, reciting that Roger, bishop
of Coventry and Lichfield, has made complaint that although he ought not to cleanse, repair and raise a dyke, called ‘le Mershdich,’ between Haneworth and Kenyngton and le Hull, except according to his yokes of oxen (pro aversis spannatis), and he had done his part sufficiently therein, and he is not liable for the repair of a footbridge in Haneworth by the mill of Eldeford, yet by pretext of presentments before the sheriff's turn of Spelethorne that the dyke was not properly cleansed, repaired and raised, to the nuisance of the vicinage, and that he ought to cleanse it according to all manner of his beasts. as also because he did not renair the bridge, the sheriff, without calling or warning him, has amerced him at divers times in 38s. 8d., and distrained him for the amercements and for the repair of the dyke and bridge, wherefore he has petitioned that ag there is manifest error in the presentments and the record and process therein, the king would order the error to be correoted and do him justice; and commanding him to return the record and! process of the presentments with this writ on the octave of the Purification and to release the distraint of the bishop for the amercements until Midsummer.
The sheriff answers that, at his turn at Spelethorne 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, John 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 repair a bridge at the mill of Eldeforth then in a dangerous state. Therefore the said lord is amerced at 4 mark.
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 Easter. And the said sheriff, to wit Thomas Flambard. is in mercy for his insufficient answer, and is affeered by the justices at 4 mark. Nevertheless he ia 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 the king herein.
At which day the said sheriff produced in court the record and process of a presentment aa follows, inquisition taken before Thomas Flambard, sheriff of Middlesex, in his turn at Spelethorne, on Tuesday, the feast of St. Andrew the Apostle, 18 Edward III 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 hie 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 four 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.
And the bishop says that, whereas in the presentment it is contained that the bridge of Eldeforth melle is in a dangerous state by default of John Dayrel, lord of Haneworth, he is lord of that town and wag so e

the time of the presentment, that there is no bridge there for common transit but only a little bridge by the mill for the easement of the miller &nd those of the vioinage coming to the mill for grinding their corn, that the mill and bridge are situated on his soil on both sides of stream there, and of this bridge one part extends to the town of Haneworth in the liberty of the duke of Cornwall of the honor of Walyngforth, who has view of frank-pledge to be held twice a year, and the other to the liberty of queen Philippe of the manor of Istelworth, and the lords of the manor of Haneworth are not bound to repair the bridge unless they please to do so, also the bridge is without the jurisdiction of the sheriff of his hundred of Spelethorne, as he will prove.
And the sheriff taking the information of the men of the four townahips says that the bridge at Eldeforthemelle is broken down by default of the lord of Haneworth as above, that the soil where the bridge should and used to be repaired at the end towards Haneworthe is liable to pav gild and is in the hundred of Spelothorne within tho bailiwick and jurisdiction of the sheriff without the said liberty of Walyngford, and that there is a highway and common passage of men. And so he avowa the taking of the said presentment in his turn as due and sufficient.
And the bishop saya as before.
Therefore let a jury come before the king at the octave of Trinity. And the coroner of the county is commanded to cause these to come. Afterwards, the jury being respited to the quinzaine of Midsummer, 14 Edward III, come the bishop i in person, John de Lincoln, who sues for the king, and jurors of the vicinage, who find that there is no bridge for common use at Eldeforthmelle, only a little bridge (as above).
Therefore it is adjudged that the presentment be quashed, the sheriff be in mercy for taking the presentment without his jurisdiction and the bishop recover his amercements.
