Hello Peter, Could it be an abbreviated form of "interrogatory" - a question posed in a formal legal context? Normally used in church courts, I think. What kind of document did you find it in and what date?

It is written Juterrie and means something like allegation or claim or statement. The document is in English. Any ideas?, Peter

Many thanks to all that helped - the word was indeed inter(rogato)rie! Peter
