The above jurors were then sworn to inquire concerning the articles contained in the writ. Because they did not agree a verdict and were not fully instructed, the escheator ordered them to be at Winchester on 6 April when they found as follows. He held the following in demesne as of fee tail in addition to the lands and tenements specified in 57.
