Paper roll; list, apparently of property held by the
Earl of Oxford, first in other counties, including Bucks.,
and then in Beds (Edworth, Arlesey, Everton, Clifton,
Chicksands), apparently with the object of distraining
on the Earl 'as yet I cannot come to a distresse on them'.

'it was given to his house frank and free as he findeth
in his books by one Wm. Paslowe above 400 years past';
also the abbot of Warden, who 'hath a warren and saith
he will pay none, but an your lordship be pleased I can
stress there.'
