Process and Pleading
(An Office had been found that one held of the king by knight service.
The truth was that the lands were held of another lord in socage.
The lord of whom the lands were held in socage could not bring Traverse of Office because the wardship did not belong to the lord.
The lord commanded one of the lord's servants to appear as next friend to the infant heir to make the Traverse of Office.)
