It plainly appears from several deeds and conveyances which are directed to be sent to you that, on the said day or since, he was seized of a considerable estate in Llwyntidmon and Treprinol in the parish of Llanymynech. You are to execute the writ with all diligence. After such inquiry you are to rectify the enclosed draft inquisition [missing] for the said lands. Return me the deeds safely.

The Treasury Lords have represented this matter to the King, who has expressly signified his pleasure that he will always have the Plantation ships first come into England according to law and as to this particular case his Majesty will by no means comply therewith, but will have the law duly observed in bringing the ship and her lading to England. Please signify this to the Lord Deputy. Out Letters (Ireland) V, p. 150.

The said Commissioners think this a very illegal practice which may prove of very ill consequence to the King's service.
