To the T. and barons of the Ex.

Henry Belynges has shown that in the time of Edward I he held one carucate in Corcagh at farm from the K. by the K.’s commission, paying 12d p.a. for each acre, and the T. and barons demand 40s. from him by summons of the Ex. for arrears and rent. Although Henry when charged in the Ex. with the said arrears alleged that in the time of Richard Bereford, T. in the time of Edward I, Gilbert le Blound, then sheriff of co. Dublin, took from Henry for the said arrears 10 crannocks of wheat, price 4s. each, and delivered them to Richard Seliman, then provost of Newcastle McKinegan, to sow the land there, and Henry called in evidence the rolls of the Ex. of that time, the T. and barons have refused to allow him this, but have caused him to be distrained. ORDER to examine the rolls and if this is so, to allow him the 40s. in payment of the said debt and remove it from the rolls of the Ex.
