Henry (executor of Richard's will) was outlawed for trespass and the petitioner's lands were seized into the king's hands by order of a writ enclosed with the said petition to William Scot and his fellow justices of king's bench, to hear the petitioner's complaint that Piers was not seised of the land on the day of the bond.
