“The King to the Sheriff, Health. I command you, that justly and
without delay, you cause to be admeasured the pasture in such a Vill,
which _I._ who was the wife of _P._ and _R._ her sister, complain
that _H._ had unjustly surcharged; nor permit that the aforesaid _H._
should have in that Pasture more beasts than he ought to have, and than
belongs to him to have, according to the extent of the Fee which he has
in that Vill, least &c. Witness &c.”
CHAP. XIV.
“The King to the Sheriff, Health. I command you, that without delay,
you command _R._ that, justly and without delay, he permit _H._ to
have his Easements[434] in the Wood[435] and in the Pasture of such a
Vill, which he ought to have, as he says; as he ought to have them, and
usually has had them; and that you permit not the aforesaid _R._ or any
other to molest or injure him, least &c. Witness &c.”
[Footnote 434: _Aisiamenta_—from the French _aise_, _voluptas_. (Spelm.
Gloss. ad voc.)]
[Footnote 435: _Bosco._ This word sometimes means the wood
merely—sometimes it includes the land on which the wood grows. (Co.
Litt. 4. b.)]
CHAP. XV.
“The King to the Sheriff, Health. I prohibit you, least you permit,
that _R._ unjustly exact from _S._ for the free Tenement which he holds
of _N._ of the Fee of the said _R._ in such a Vill, more service than
belongs to that free Tenement that he holds; and that you cause to be
replevied to him his Beasts, which were taken for that demand, which he
does not acknowledge, as belonging to the Free Tenement he holds; until
the Plea be heard before us, and it be known, whether such service is
due or not. Witness &c.”
CHAP. XVI.
“The King to the Sheriff, Health.[436] I command you, that justly and
without delay, you make reasonable divisions between the Land of _R._
in such a Vill and its appurtenances, and the Land of _D._ in such
Vill, as they ought to be, and are accustomed to be, and as they were
in the time of King Henry my Grandfather, of which _R._ complains, that
_A._ has, unjustly and without Judgment, encroached more than belongs
to his free Tenement in that Vill, least &c. Witness &c.”
[Footnote 436: Vide L. 9. c. 14. where a similar writ occurs.]
CHAP. XVII.
“The King to the Sheriff, Health. I command you that justly and without
delay, you cause to abide, the reasonable Division which _R._ made to
the Brethren of the Hospital of Jerusalem of his Chattels, as it can be
reasonably shewn that he made it, and that it ought to be abided by.
Witness &c.”
CHAP. XVIII.
“The King to the Sheriff, Health. I command you, that you compel
_R._ that justly and without delay, he returns to _N._ his Chattels,
which he claims that he took, unjustly and without a judgment, in his
Freehold, in such a Vill, since the Disseisin which he did him, since
my Assise, of which he recovered his Seisin before my Justices by a
Recognition of Novel Disseisin, as it can be reasonably shewn that he
ought to have them, least &c.”[437]
