The King sent a writ from England saying that Nicholas had nothing in these tenements except for term of life, of the King's grant, with the reversion to the King and his heirs, and telling the justices not to proceed in the plea without consulting him. She requests a writ to Robert de Preston and his companions, now justices of the Common Bench, to proceed in the plea, notwithstanding this writ or any other command to the justices of Ireland not to hold pleas concerning lands and tenements seized into the King's hand without a special command from England, and to continue to a final judgment as the law demands.
