Nature of request
The Estfelds and others request that the chancellor be ordered to grant a writ to the justices in a plea by them for an inheritance in Guernsey that they proceed to judgment without further delay notwithstanding that the inheritance is in the king's hand, it already being found in Chancery that there was nothing for the king to hold the inheritance. They also request that the keeper of the Isles be ordered to return whether there is anything in the rolls by which the king can hold the tenements.
Nature of endorsement
They should have a writ to the justices of the King's Bench to make the tenor of the process to be brought into Chancery thus that the king is able to be advised by his council, and further state his will.

People mentioned
Geoffrey lescrop (Scrope), justice of the Bench
