II [1381], that are separately appraised at 9l. 10s. 7d., as is contained in a certain inquiry etc., because the goods and chattels aforesaid arrived separately into the hand of Hugo la Zouche, knight, and also Ellen, who was the wife of the same John Brux at Solne [Colne, Cambs.], in the aforesaid county of Huntingdonshire, and John Brunne, namely, in the hand of the said Ellen, goods and chattels to the value of 8l. 3s. 11d., just as is contained in the inquiry aforesaid, and regarding which goods and chattels the same Ellen, Hugo and John ought separately answer the King.

The aforesaid Hugo la Zouche and John Brunne say for themselves that they themselves ought neither answer nor satisfy the King regarding the aforesaid 8l. 3s. 11d. for the value of the goods and chattels aforesaid, nor any part of it.

II [1381], nor at any time after, at Caxton in Cambridgeshire, nor elsewhere in the same county etc. And this they put forward etc. It is said for the King that the crops, land, goods and chattels aforesaid, value 8l. 3s. 11d. which belonged to the aforesaid John Brux on the abovementioned 13 June 4 Rich.

Therefore, let inquiry be made; and it is ordered that the sheriff of Cambridgeshire undertake this at the quindene of Trinity [12‒18 June 1385] etc., and the same day is given to the aforesaid Hugo la Zouche and John Brunne etc. |
