●ur. Wardorum & Liberationum.   
Whereas many petitions have been preferred to the Right Honourable the Master of this Court, for obtaining grants of several wards hips and Leases of the Lands of his masjesties' wards, And days have been appointed them to procure the offices to be found, and attend with schedules and confessions of the Ancestors Estates at the times appointed, to compound for the wardships and Leases, as the said cases should require. Many of which petitioners have concealed the said petitions, and done nothing in pursuance of the Answers given thereunto: And divers other of the said petitioners have procured offices to be found and returned; and schedules to be prepared, as though they intended to compound forthwith for the wardship and Leases, And so let them rest without further proceedings; And others have compounded, but have not paid the King's fine, nor passed the grants: It is therefore Ordered, That all such of the said petitioners, as have not, or shall not effectually proceed, according to the direction given in Answer to their said petitions, before the end of this Michaelmas term, shall lose the benefit of their said petitions, And it shall be lawful for any others to petition for such wardship and Leases, as if no such petition had been preferred; And all other petitioners who have in pursuance of such direction in Answer to such petitions, procured offices to be found, and made composition with the Court, and not proceeded to pay their fines, and passed their grants; And such others as have found offices, and not yet compounded for the wardship and Leases petitioned for, nor shall compound and proceed in prosecution of their grants before the end of this term, shall lose the benefit of their petitions and charges, And the wardships, Lands, and Estates of such wards, shall be either sequestered into fit men's hands to take care of, and be responsal to this Court for the profits; or otherwise granted to such persons as the Court shall think fit, the late King's Majeties instructions notwithstanding; And like proceedings to continue from term to term, at the peril of the parties whom it doth or may concern, until further and other order to the contrary.
