The king has ordered the treasurer and barons of the exchequer and the aforesaid justices to cause other debts in the treasury of the Jewry to the value of 31l. to be assigned to Samuel in recompence for the aforesaid debt.
To Robert de Ufford, justiciary of Ireland, and to the treasurer and barons of the exchequer of Dublin. Whereas Master William de Bakepuz, late escheator of Ireland, received certain issues of the lands of Gilbert de Clare, earl of Gloucester and Hertford, after the king had rendered them to the earl after the death of the latter's father, as the king learns from the earl: the king therefore orders them, if they find from the rolls of the said exchequer that such issues thus came to the king's hands, to cause the earl to have them, or to cause as much to be allowed to him in the debts in which he is indebted to the king at that exchequer.
