Because it was found by inquisition taken before Henry Stanyhurst, deputy of John Charneles esq., escheator of Ire., that all the premises contain the truth, LICENCE to the said John to have and receive the said annual rent, and to distrain freely for that rent and the arrears of the same in all the said lands [etc.], for as long as they are in the K.'s hand.

Peter Dowdall, son and heir of John Dowdall of Dundalk, has petitioned that one Matilda Gernoun was seised in demesne as of fee of 6 messuages and 22 acres of land, with appurtenances, in Ardee until she was removed by colour of an inquisition before William Myntelyne, then deputy of Thomas Clifford kt, the K.'s escheator in Ire., on Monday before the Nativity of St John the Baptist 5 Ric. II [24 June 1382] at Ardee, by which it was found that one Walter Gernoun was seised of those messuages and lands and granted them in farm to the prior and brethren of the Carmelites of Ardee for a term of 57 years; and that John Dowdall, then sheriff of Louth, brought a writ of right in the common bench in the quindene of Hilary 8 Ric. II [1385] for the said messuages and lands against the same Walter Gernoun, by collusion between them to make the prior and brethren lose their term, the K. being by no means informed; the process against Walter Gernoun being continued until the said John Dowdall recovered the messuages and lands in the said court by default through collusion between them, and so he intruded on the said late K.'s possession, as more fully appears by the said office which remains of record in the chancery of Ire. By her charter, Matilda gave the messuages and lands to John Dowdall forever, and he gave them to her for her life with remainder to the said Peter and his heirs male, with remainder to Matilda's right heirs. By virtue of this gift, the said Matilda and John were seised. Matilda died, and so the messuages pertain to Peter as remainder.
Peter seeks that the K. should give sentence for his title and right in that behalf and also that the cause of seizure the messuage and land be deemed null, and for that livery and restitution be made thereof out of the K.'s hands; and also graciously to grant after such livery and restitution that he may occupy, hold and enjoy them without question by the K. his heirs or ministers in future. By assent of Richard [Talbot], abp Dublin, deputy of John Talbot of Halomshire kt [chiv'], Lt of Ire., GRANT to Peter of livery and restitution of those manors, and PARDON to him of all fines, issues, rents, profits [etc.] from the said messuages [etc.] pertaining to the K.1
