Wiit of plenius certiorari, on the complaint of Margery late the wife of the
said John, that the escheator had taken into the king's hand the manor
of Toppingho, Hatfeud Peverel and Borham, which had been assigned
to her for the residue of a term. 17 July, 1 Edw. I.

Topingho. The manor was demised by Baldwin Fillol to the said John for
twenty-four years by chirograph, and for greater security a charter of
enfeoffment was delivered with condition that it should be restored at
the end of the term if the agreements contained in the chirograph were
observed by the said Baldwin and his heirs. And the said Baldwin
hearing of the sickness of the said John, came and prayed him to
restore the charter of enfeoffment, which he did, save that the said
Baldwin granted that Margery wife of the said John should hold the
remainder of the term of twenty-four years. So that the said John did
not die seised of the manor in fee.
