This was an inquiry into whether William Bolle and
two others (probably feofees on his land grant) may alienate some land to
the chaplain of the church of Wygtoft in Holand.
The land in Wigtoft is 28a. of arable and 5 1/2 a. of meadow, held of
the honour of Richmond. The
premises to be retained are 'land and tenement(s)', and according to the
Calendarium are to remain to William Bolle alone. The Calendarium also says
the grant included 'suit of court' in Stevening (modern Steyning, Stenning),
which may mean that the messuage and lands in Wigtoft were part of a manor
of Stevening and owed suit of court to it.
The Manor of Stevening was held then by the de Holand family)

Appointment as a Justice for the Enfordement of the Statutes of Labourers
After the Black Death epidemic of 1348-49 with the death of perhaps half of England's population, primarily in the poorer classes, landowners were faced with a scarcity of labourers to work their fields. In order to prevent the inevitable increase in wage demands that would result, Parliament passed a Statute of Labourers that set wages at the levels prior to the catastrophe. However, when there is demand there is money to be made and people who will take the opportunity to make it. Offending labourers who accepted higher salaries from desperate landowners with less influence could then be fined by the sheriffs, stewards and bailiffs employed by the large landowners in order to protect their own interests. The fines collected often didn't make their way in to the Royal Treasury. Those abuses resulted in the King's appointment of Commissioners throughout England to Enforce the Statute of Labourers.
There is a further reference to this
appointment in the book The Enforcement of the Statutes of Labourers
During the First Decade After the Black Death 1349-1359 by Bertha Haven
Putnam. Sher includes the following reference in her List of the
671 justices responsible for the enforcement of the statutes during the
decade: The reference is to the Patent Rolls, first number is for the
