patria	Richard Heigne and Maude his wife sue against William le Taverner, chaucer, and Robert Neel, executors of the will of Robert Heigne for £55.0.12. They explain that whereas the said Robert Heigne in his life time, viz. on Wednesday before Palm Sunday, 12 Edward II [28^th March, 1319], entered into a bond to pay to the said Richard and Maude the sum aforesaid on Michaelmas Day next following, in the Church of St Margaret in Fridaistrete, the executors of the said Robert refuse payment.

William comes and acknowledges the said writing to be his deed, and asks that his account be heard. Richard Dask, Richard of Reynham and Hamo le Barber are appointed as auditors, and a day is given the def. to account on the Saturday following.

	Richard Heyne and Maude his wife, pls., appear v. Agnes relict of Robert Heyne, William le Hosiere and Robert Neel, executors of the will of the said Robert Heyne, who have a day to appear by distraint. William and Robert come, but Agnes does not. It is attested by the serjeant that Agnes has nothing in his bailiwick by which she can be distrained. It is therefore adjudged that William and Robert answer alone. The pls. complain that the defs., on Wednesday before Palm Sunday, 12 Edward II [28^th March, 1319], received from them £55 and 12d. by ten tallies, to be repaid in the church of St. Margaret in Fridaistrete at the Michaelmas following; but that payment was not made during the life-time of the said Robert, or afterwards by his executors. The defs. say that the bond which the pls. produce in court is not the deed of Robert Heyne, and thereupon they put themselves upon their country. Afterwards the parties appear at the court held by Reginald de Conduit, sheriff, on Thursday after the feast of St. Thomas the Apostle [27^th December] but Richard and Maude produce a royal writ ordering the case to be referred to the Justices at their next session at the Tower ['et predicti Ricardus et Matilda tulerunt breve domini Regis ad ponendam loquelam predictam coram justiciariis ad primam assisam apud Turrim London' etc.].
