Original Designation: no. 241 (p.173-74). Notification of the adjudication by the abbot of Leiston and the dean of Wainford who with the prior of Butley were appointed papal judges delegate by Pope Innocent III on 13 April 1214 to decide the case between the abbot and convent of Sibton on one side and Edmund of Norwich, layman, and Basilia his wife, of Norwich diocese, on the other. The abbot and convent claimed that Edmund and Basilia had unjustly troubled them concerning the land Beta the woman held of Alexander of All Saints west of the king's toll house in Norwich, Norfolk, concerning the stall and market place of the fishermen, and all the fee with a bake house in Needham, Norfolk, which Alexander of All Saints had bequeathed to them in his testament with the consent of Alexander his son and of Basilia widow of the second Alexander who on her own account had agreed to this bestowal. Edmund and Basilia claimed they had justly troubled the monks concerning these lands which rightly belonged to them. The case was decided in favour of the monks.
