Edward to his Treasurer and chamberlains of the Exchequer
of Dublin, greeting :—
Whereas, on behalf of our beloved in Christ the abbot of the
Blessed Mary juxta Dubhn, is shown to us that he by a certain writ
heretofore made and given to him by the council of the Lord Henry,
former King of England, our ancestor, under the seal our said ancestor
then used, by the testimony of John Fitz Galfred, then justiciary of
our said ancestor;— that he and his predecessors, abbots of the said
house, have ever hitherto, since the issue of the said writ, peace-
ably held I carucate and 14 acres of New Castle, county Dublin,
land, with appurtenances, in
in recompense for damage which a
predecessor of his, abbot of the said place, sustained by reason of
the erection of our mills juxta our Castle of Dublin, then newly built ;
as fully appears according to the record of a certain inquisition held
by mandate of our said ancestor, existing in your custody as is said :
And whereas you our said Treasurer and barons of Exchequer
— on the ground that such writ issued by our progenitors, former Kings
of England, does not remain, and no confirmatory writ by us exists
under our Seal of England
—now take the said land anew into
our hand and hold the same, as in our hand, to the no slight loss
and damage of the said abbot Wherefore the said abbot ;
petitions us
to be pleased to make him suitable : remedy
We, acting upon the tenor of the said writ and inquisition, and
being willing that justice be done the said abbot in this matter,
charge you to examine the rolls, indentures, and memoranda of our
said ancestor and all other business records of the like of that period
that are under your custody in our treasury as is said ; so that if
it happen that matters are thence found to be according to the tenor
of the said writ and inquisition, you shall specifically and expressly
send the same to us, under the seal of the Exchequer, with this writ ;
in order that we may have the same within the feast of Easter
wherever in England we may be and that we ; may
make such further
I.
