% X. Ancient Indictments, Lancaster, 54. 24 Edw. IIL 



The roll contains proceedings held during the summer of 

 1350 before de Lathum, Basset and their companions. On 20 

 Oct. of this year they and ten others were appointed to inquire 

 into the violence of malefactors and to enforce the ordinance 

 of labourers ; see " List of justices," app., B, 3. There is, 

 therefore, a slight discrcpanc}' as to dates, which I have been 

 unable to explain.
