'The heading proves the nature of this enrollment and seems to have 

 escaped the notice of Mr. Pike and Mr. Lapsley; for they both describe 

 the document as a special commission for the better execution of justice 

 within the county palatine, issued by the bishop in accordance with the 

 king's commands. Cf. R. D.K., xxxi, app., 134, Cal. Curs. Records, 

 and The County Palatine of Durhatn, 178.
