(<•) The following note is on the margin of the iurolluient. of this patent. " The iurollment of these letters patent is vacated because that the within written Charles, now Duke of Suffolk, on the 20 April [1523], 14 Hen. VIII., surrendered into the hands of the said Lord the King his letters patent afsd. freely of his own accord and absolutely to be cancelled. Therefore the iurollment is cancelled and made void."

It appears that this case escaped the notice of the Lords' Committee ; for their Report states that ' they had not discorcrcd whether the manor belonged to the three coheirs of Elizabeth Grey or to any of them or to whom it then belonged,' p. 209. And again,' No person seised of the manor has ever, as far as the Committee have been informed, pretended to be entitled to the dignity of Baron de L'Isle by virtue of such seisin,' p. 210. The latter of these statements is contradicted by the case just cited, which not only contains the information relative to the descent of the manor of Kingston L'Isle here given, but was compiled in favour of a claimant who had no other pretensions whatever than the tenure of the manor in question, and, as such tenant, assignee of John Talbot, to whom the singular patent was granted by Henry VI.
