C 4 Latin. 24 April 1310 At Durham the Friday next after the Feast of St. George the Martyr millesimo trecentesimo decimo. Indenture witnessing that when John de Denum recovered possession, by writ of novel disseisin, against Sir William Basset, knight, of a messuage, 100 acres of land, 12 acres of wood, and 30 acres of moor and pasture in Uffurtone in the presence of Lambert de Trikyngham and companions on the date as above, it was agreed John should not pursue execution of judgment of the writ before a day fixed on which if William or heirs should at the Monastery at Durham pay to John 110 marks of silver John would not make execution of judgment, but on the contrary would renounce his claim in the lands and would surrender all writings which he had of Sir Henry de Guldeford to the same Sir William with quitclaim of all right to the said tenements. If Sir William or heirs make not satisfaction concerning the 110 marks, John should have the lands according to the form of recovery, it nevertheless being observed that if William or heirs pay to John 42 pounds of silver at the monastery of Durham in the feast of St. Michael Archangel in 1320 John should return and deliver to the said William the said tenements to be held for ever, otherwise they should remain to John for ever.
