“ James, &c.; to the Sheriff of Wilts, greeting. Because in the 
Record and Process, and also in the Proclamation of Outlawry 
against Henry Danvers, late of Cirencester, in co. Glouc., Knight, 
now Lord Danvers, for a certain supposed felony and murder, on 
4th October, 36 Eliz., whereof judgement is in your county, and 
before us returned, manifest error occurreth, to the grievous damage 
of the said Sir Henry, as by the inspection of the Record and 
Process aforesaid to us evidently appears, we, willing that the error, 
if any, in due manner may be corrected, and to the said Henry full 
and speedy justice may be done in this behalf, command you that 
you omit not by reason of any liberty in your Bailiwick, to summon 
as well the tenants of the lands and tenements which were the said 
Henry’s, on the said 4th Oct. or at any time afterwards, as the 
Lords of whom the said lands and tenements mediately or imme- 
diately are held, to be before us within 15 days after Easter, 
wherever we shall be in England, to hear the Record and Process 
aforesaid if they will; And further do and receive what our Court 
shall consider in this behalf : and have those by whom you so caused 
them to be summoned, and this Writ. 
Witness, J. PopHam. At Westminster, 13 Feb., 1 Jac. I.” 
RETURN BY THE SHERIFF.

contained. I certify that there are no tenants which were of the within named 
Lord Danvers on the 4th Oct., 36 Eliz., or at any time afterwards, nor any Lords 
of whom the said lands were held, &c., whom I am able to summon as within to 
me is commanded.”
