(Order to the Bailiffs.) Action of novel disseisin against William le Moyne Senior, John de Ravele and Alan le Ku by Williamson of William le Moyne, who complains that they unjustly disseised him of his free tenement with appurtenances in Raveley. Response of the defendants, through William le Moyne Senior: the complaint is unjust because William was never in seisin of the said manor so that he could have been disseised. Reply of Williamson of William: William Senior enfeoffed him with the manor and put him in seisin, which is attested by a certain fine made between them before the King's justices at Westminster, in which William Senior acknowledged that the manor was the right of William son of William, and that the latter was in seisin thereof before, during and after the making of the fine. Further claim by William son of William that he remained in seisin until disseised. Determination by the assize sought by both parties. Verdict of the Jurors, elected by the consent of the parties: William le Moyne Senior enfeoffed William son of William with the said manor and appurtenances and delivered seisin thereof to him, which seisin William son of William, through John de Lovetot, his guardian, maintained for more than two years, until William Senior disseised him. Therefore, William son of William is to recover his seisin by view of the recognitors, and William Senior and the others are in mercy and liable for damages assessed at #20.

Response by Alice le Mayster: Denying force, injury and the right of the said Alice and Mabel, she alleges that the said half-acre does not lie in the fields of Ramsey but rather in the fields of Upwood. Reply of Alice and Mabel: the land lies in the fields of Ramsey and not in the fields of Upwood. Judgement by the jury sought by both parties. The inquest comes, but Alice and Mabel failed to appear, whereupon Alice le Mayster precisely sought judgement of them.

Response of Ranulph, present: Denying the claim, he says he did not have entry through Philip de Clerevaus but by grant and enfeoffment of Hugh de Sulgrave, former abbot of Ramsey, [2] whereof he has a charter of the said abbot and convent. Judgement by the jury sought by both parties. Verdict of the jurors, under oath: Ranulph holds the land by grant and enfeoffment of the said abbot and convent, not by enfeoffment of the said Philip.
