Because the petitioners appeared again before the council in June and July and have found surety for the actions for which they were indicted or impeached in Ireland, it should be ordered by writs of the great seal to the justices, chancellor of Ireland and commissioners that if the petitioners' lands, tenements, goods and chattels were not adjudged to be forfeited to the King before the petitioners' said appearance before the council, they should take surety from the petitioners or their friends to answer to the King for the issues of the lands and the value of the goods. They should also allow the petitioners or their friends to have the keeping and administration of the said lands, tenements, goods and chattels without impediment in the meantime. Let it be remembered that the first surety mentioned above is entered in the King's Bench.
