It is agreed and assented in parliament that writs should be sent to William Coggeshale's general attorneys, to appear before the arbiters mentioned in the petition, on the days and at the places to be assigned to them by the arbiters, and also that writs should be sent to the said arbiters to proceed to their arbitration and decision as swiftly as they reasonably can.
