34. It is presented by unanimous verdict of the whole court
that if anyone marries a woman who has right in any land
according to the custom of the manor and is seised thereof
by the will of the lord, and the said woman surrenders her
right and her seisin into the hands of the lord and her
husband receives that right and seisin from the hands of the
lord, in such case the heirs of the woman are for ever
barred from the said land and the said right remains to the
husband and his heirs. Therefore let William Wood, whose
case falls under this rule, hold his land in manner
aforesaid. And for the making of this inquest the said
William gives the lord 6s.8d.
35. The tenements of Lucy Mill are to be seized into the
lord's hands because of the adultery which she has committed
and the bailiff is to answer for them.
The chief pledges present that Cristina daughter of Richard
Maleville has married at London without the lord's licence;
therefore let the said Richard be distrained. He has made
fine with 12d. Also that Alice Berde has done the same;
therefore let her be distrained. Also that Robert Fountain
has committed a trespass against William Gery; therefore the
said Robert is in mercy; pledge, Humfrey; fine, 6d. Also
that Richard Maleville has drawn blood from Stephen Gust;
therefore he is in mercy; fine, 2s.
