23 Nov. 1410
To [Ralph Standisshe] escheator of Ire.
It appears by return of the former escheator that the reason for taking a garden belonging to Henry Coulverock in Wexford was that it appeared by inquisition that when Henry was provost of the town of Wexford, which was then in the K.'s hand, he acquired that garden from one Robert Martell within his bailiwick, contrary to statute [etc.]. Because that reason is considered in chancery to be invalid, ORDER to remove the K.'s hand.

RCH 197/10
18 Nov. 1410
The K. has learned by return of the escheator and an inquisition taken before him that the reason for taking 1 messuage and 1½ carucates of land in Kenokestoun, belonging to Roland fitz Maurice and Margaret his wife, was that one John Staunton of Kenok was seised of that messuage [etc.] in his demesne as of fee, and that the prior and convent of Croyswall in Wales claimed to have 6m of annual rent issuing from the premises; and John Cobliton, late prior of that house, remised and quit-claimed to John Staunton all the right they had in the said messuage for themselves and their successors. The said John Staunton enfeoffed John Blake chaplain of that messuage [etc.], to have to him and his heirs forever; and John Blake later enfeoffed the said Roland and Margaret of the same to have to them and their heirs forever. And because the men of Wales are rebels, the said messuage [etc.] was seised into the K.'s hand. Because that reason is considered to be insufficient, ORDER to remove the K.'s hand.

4 Jun. 1411
To Ralph Standissh, escheator of Ire., or his deputy.
Brother William Bobington, master of the house of St Thomas the Martyr of Canterbury, called of Acon [Acre] of London, and [master] of all such houses in all parts of the world, and also keeper general of the possessions of the same, and the brethren of that place, have pleaded to the K. that they and their predecessors had and held from time immemorial a house of St John with a chapel annexed to the same, together with various other lands, tenements and possessions, with appurtenances, in the town of Karrikmagriffin and elsewhere in co. Tipperary in Ire., in pure and perpetual alms, as of the right of the house of St Thomas, until one Thomas Clifford kt, sometime escheator of Ire., by colour of his office took and seized the said house and chapel with all lands [etc.] into the hand of Richard [II], late K. of Eng., the K.’s predecessor, without any reason, without having taken the verdict of an inquisition and without any other due process, but rather by order incited by misinformation of one Peter Stonham, suggesting to the said former escheator that one brother Robert Porter, confrere of the said William [Bobington], and sub-keeper of the house of St John and the chapel annexed to the same house had admitted and professed into his order one Philip Makilmer of Irish birth [hibernice nacionis] as confrere of that Robert (whereas they had both been deceased for a long time previously); and also suggesting that the said William was absent from the K.’s land of Ire. This seizure was to the injury of law and contrary to reason, good faith and conscience, and also to the grave damage and manifest disinheritance of the said William and the brethren of his said house of St Thomas.
Afterwards on 20 Nov. [1392] 16 Ric. II, by the K.’s letters attested by James Butler, then [third] earl of Ormond, Jcr of Ire., the said Peter [Stonham] acquired custody of the said house and chapel with all other lands, tenements and possessions in the said county, to have for his lifetime for as long as they remained in the K.’s hand, without rendering anything; and afterwards he appointed one Robert Harbrik as deputy and Lt, who received the issues and profits of the said house, chapel [etc.] until now.
Having considered the premises, the K. wishes that restitution be made of the house, chapel, lands, tenements and possessions, with appurtenances, to the said William and the brethren: saving always the right of the K. ORDER, therefore, to remove the K.’s hand.1
1 This writ was later exemplified under the g.s. of Ire.
15 Aug. 1411
