    Westminster. To William Bassett and his fellows, justices of assize in co. Northampton. Whereas William son of William Pynkeneye arramed an assize of mort d'ancestre before them against Hugh de Pydyngton, Giles son of William de Seint Johan, Thomas Smert and John Quarel concerning certain tenements in Gildenemorton, and Henry de Graystok, the king's clerk, keeper of all the lands which belonged to John de Molyns, which are in the king's hand, has informed the king that the said tenements belonged to John and were taken into the king's hand and given to Henry to guard, and that the assize is arramed fraudulently that the tenements may be placed out of the king's hand; the king therefore orders the justices to supersede taking the assize if they find by inquisition or otherwise that Hugh, Giles, Thomas and John are not tenants of those lands and if the lands have been taken into the king's hand and are in Henry's custody, and to cause William, Hugh, Giles, Thomas and John to be punished in an exemplary manner for their fraud and collusion.
