king's intention that Donelinus should be committed to Neugate prison if
he could find security to render the account according to the tenor of the
king's writ, which security Donelinus has offered them, and they have
refused to take it: as Guy Bonaventure, Clarus Felyng, Gerard de Florencia,
Peter le Especer, John de la Garderobe, and Richard de Stanford, merchants
of London, have mainperned to have Donelinus before the justices of the

aforethought. Witness: Edmund, earl of Cornwall. |
