SOUTHAMPTON.	Answer of the escheator. It was found on 12 May, 34 Edward III, that John Wake, tenant in chief, held the premises by knight’s service, and died seised thereof, and accordingly the escheator on 3 November, 34 Edward III, took them into the king’s hand, where they are still, and he has not delivered them to the aforesaid Agnes, because John Tyrel, her late husband, one of the heirs of John Wake, never brought a writ of livery of seisin, during his life, nor in the writ of the said Agnes was any mention made of those tenements.
