[003] writ. ‘And also for the damages awarded him cause him to have ten shillings within
[004] the quindene, lest we hear [further] complaint because of your default.’ Of if he recovered
[005] his seisin before justices in the county and is unable to have it because of
[006] the strength of his adversary, then thus: ‘Such a one has complained to us that
[007] though in our court etc. before etc. he recovered his seisin of a tenement in such a
[008] vill against such a one by an assise of novel disseisin taken between them (or ‘by the
[009] judgment of our court of a tenement in N. as to which an assise of novel disseisin
[010] was summoned before the same justices etc.’) the deforciant does not permit him to
[011] use his seisin (or thus, ‘that he does not yet have his seisin’) according as it was adjudged
[012] to him. Therefore we order you to enquire diligently as to the recognitors of
[013] that assise, and by their view cause him to be put in full seisin without delay and to
[014] keep and defend him in his seisin (or thus, ‘that you do not permit such a one to cause
[015] him any vexation or annoyance so that he may not use his seisin’). Lest we hear
[016] further etc.’
