[m. 2 is another version of the inquisition without the place where it was taken, the names of the jurors or the extents of the 2 manors. A 19th-century transcript of it is in TNA:PRO 31/7/141, p. 90. A MS note on the binding dated 1937 says 'it appears to be a copy, probably produced under a writ of certiorari, or a draft, and to have been attached to the original inquisition in the 19th century.']
