King and council.

Nature of request

Adam de Everyngham states that he had delivered a bill into parliament concerning the bailiwick of Sherwood Forest, and it was answered that he was to sue a writ to the Treasurer and Chamberlains to have the rolls of William de Vescy, of the eyre of the Forest of Nottingham, searched, to inform the King on the record and process, and into the reason for the taking of the bailiwick into the King's hand; and this record and process were returned to Chancery under the seal of the Exchequer at Adam's suit, according to the form of the writ. He asks the King and council to hear and determine the record and process of the bill, according to what he can show by his muniments, so that he is not wrongly disinherited or forejudged of his right.
