Writ to deliver seisin to co-heirs when they have agreed among themselves as to the partition.
[005] ‘The king to the sheriff, greeting. Know that it has been agreed between A. the [006] demandant, and B. the tenant, with respect to such a manor with the appurtenances [007] in such a county and such another manor with the appurtenances in such [008] other county (and so on if there are several manors in different counties partition [009] of which ought to be made between the parties; then let the writ continue in this [010] way) that one half of all the lands aforesaid remain to the same A. and his heirs [011] quit of the same B. and his heirs forever, and the other half with the appurtenances [012] remain to the same B. and his heirs quit of the same A. and his heirs forever, in such [013] a way, however, that when all the lands and fees of all the aforesaid honours have [014] been extended and properly valued in all things by lawful men chosen by the [015] consent of the same A. and B., A. and his heirs shall have his half in such and such [016] honours, and B. and his heirs his half in such and such other honours. And if either [017] of them lacks a portion of his half in those honours, let that which he lacks be supplied [018] him from such an honour in a suitable place. Therefore we order you, taking with you [019] etc. (as above).’ [There is] another writ of the same kind where there has been a [020] concord.
Another writ of the same kind: where a tenant parcener has acknowledged his share to his parcener; that an extent be made.
[022] ‘The king to the sheriff, greeting. Know that when in our court etc. A. claimed [023] against B. so much land with the appurtenances in such a vill as his rightful share, [024] which fell to him from the inheritance of C., the father (or other ancestor) of the [025] aforesaid A. and B., whose heirs they are, the said B. came into the same court and [026] acknowledged all the land aforesaid with the appurtenances to be the right of [027] the same A., as his rightful share due him of the aforesaid inheritance, to have and [028] to hold to the same A. etc. Therefore we order you to go in person, taking with you [029] lawful and discreet men from the vicinity of such vill, to such land, and by their [030] oath cause that land to be extended and valued, in demesnes, villeinages and the [031] services of free men, in meadows, woods,
