To The Justices within Named
I do hereby certify that by virtue of the within writ to me
directed I have taken with me twelve honest and lawful
men of my Bailiwick and went to the messuage or tenement
and tract of land and all and singular the premises within
mentioned whereof Elias Retge the intestate in the within writ
named died seiz'd and on their oath and solemn affirmation
(Illegible) finding that the same could not be parted and
to and among the parties as within mentioned, and
therefore have valued and appraised the same as by the within
writ I am commanded - The residue of the execution
of the within writ appears by a certain inquisition hereunto
amended----

So answers
J Bower, Sheriff
