Catalogue description Writ by Ralph of Mount Hermer, Earl of Gloucester and Hereford, lord of the liberties of Kilkenny, to the sheriff of Kilkenny, reciting that William son of Simon Le Poer in the Earl's Court of Kilkenny recovered against John, son of William, son of Simon Le Poer, one hundred pounds, and afterwards granted the same to Master Thomas de Cantoke; and as the said John could not show cause why the same ought not to be levied to the use of Master Thomas, it was considered that the latter should recover. Master Thomas thereupon prayed the benefit of the statute in that case provided, namely, that it is at the choice of the plaintiff, whether the sheriff shall levy on the lands, or deliver to him all the goods and chattels of the debtor, except his oxen and beasts of his plough, and half of all his land, at a reasonable price and extent, until the debt be lived. Therefore we command you to cause this to be done for the said Master Thomas. Witness, Walter Ivech, our seneschal of Kilkenny, at Kilkenny, 8th January. 28 Edw. [I]. "Ibidem," 31 Edw. I.
