I'm guessing from the search engine references, and this footnote to an article, that it is something to do with legal references.
The best discussion of the ways in which appeals were actually used, as opposed to the legal theory behind the appeal, can be found in Crown Pleas of the Surrey Eyre of 1235, C. A. F. Meekings (ed.), Surrey Record Society, 31 (Guildford, 1979), pp.116-125. http://www.finerollshenry3.org.uk/content/month/april_2006.html
Very intriguing !! ..... for instance
Bedfordshire Eyre -- Bedfordshire Eyre 1247, ed. G. H. Fowler, Bedfordshire ... In 1235, for example, plaintiff produced suf ficient suit but lost because he had no ... from the search results.

Found a reference to a London Eyre, too, and then, searching on eyre legal, I found this  :
Because the local courts and the parties weren't always anxious to pay the king his fine, the king developed the eyre system. The eyre system imposed royal power directly by a system of traveling justices. The eyre inquired about money's owed to the king, unexplained deaths and handled ordinary disputes between people (for a price). Initially this system didn't go over very well and the coming of the eyre struck fear in the hearts of the population. The eyre imposed heavy fines and brought a reign of terror to some communities. Many people fled or alternatively killed the eyre. However, eventually the eyre became a regular feature of English life and legal disputes began to be handled by the king. Instead of going to a local court people now had the option of seeking justice from the king directly when the eyre came to town.
From the eyre system emerged the corem rege-- the King's bench-- a regular court of law; the exchequer which dealt with legal disputes arising out of royal revenue; and the court of common pleas (which were later to be held at a fixed place). Royal legal power was also greatly strengthened under Henry II (1155-1183). In his famous battle with Beckett the issue was whether the church was to have exclusive jurisdiction over the clergy. The compromise created a wedge for royal authority to enter into church matters. http://www.lawyerviews.com/lawsite/history.html
Amazing what crops up here sometimes.
