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. A fine [CP 25/1/206/25/60] was raised concerning the moiety in the king’s court at Westminster in the quindene of Hilary, 1355, between master John de Lecche , clerk , querent, and John de Fulcordby and Margery his wife, deforciants.
