Nature of request
Robert Cary, son and heir of John Cary, asks the lords to ask the king to have his Chancellor and Justices, and the others of his council, examine the charters and deeds which he has for the manors of Great Torrington and Cockington in Devon, of which John Cary, his father, was seised, for himself and others, and for the heirs of his body, and which were seized into the king's hand at the parliament held in the eleventh year of Richard II, because of John's forfeiture (which was repealed in the parliament of 21 Richard II, and then reinstated by the parliament of 1 Henry IV); and if they find that the manors are entailed as he says, that he might be restored to them without further suit.
Nature of endorsement
The complainant is to sue in Chancery, and if it seems to the Chancellor and Justices that a writ of procedendo is grantable in this case, he is to have such a writ of procedendo without any difficulty, by authority of parliament.
