To expel John Hall and the heir of John Martyn from lands formerly leased by copy of court roll to John Martyn of Salte Marsshe [Saltmarsh] in the lordship of Goldcliff by the Provost of Eton as lord of the lordship by custom of the lordship whereby, upon payment of an arbitrary fine at the discretion of the lord, it was usual to let lands to the heir after the death of a tenant.

If Hall and Martyn can show any title of right by law or custom, he will be content to hear them and, as steward of the lordship, to see justice administered between them and the Provost by advice of learned counsel.

In another hand: Comes Vigorniensis Senescall'
