_King John_ (Vol. ix., p. 453.).--I cannot reply to the Queries of
PRESTONIENSIS, but I have a note of a grant made by John (as _Com.
Moritoniæ_) of the tithes of the parishes between Rible and Merse, which
appears to have received the Bishop of Coventry's confirmation, _ap.
Cestriam, an. 2 Pont. Papæ Coelestini_. John's grant was to the Priory of
Lancaster. My reference is to Madox, _Formulare Anglicanum_, Lond. 1702, p.
52, MXCVI. The deed is witnessed by Adam de Blakeburn and Robert de
Preston, as well as by Phil. Sanson (De Worcester?) and others.
