We order you, just as on other occasions, we have ordered you, that by the oath of upright and lawful men of your bailiwick, by whom the truth of the matter can be better known, you diligently inquire if the same Thomas was seised of the aforesaid tenements on the said day, on which he was so convicted, in his demesne as of fee, or what other estate he then had in the same, and how and in what way. And you are to send without delay the inquisition, thereupon clearly and openly made, to us into our Chancery under your seal and the seals of those, by whom it will have been made, and this writ.
