To the sheriff of Somerset and Dorset. Whereas it was lately ordained
by the king and his council that wool, hides, wool-fells, lead and tin
should not be demised or sold in any way except for good sterlings or
other lawful merchandise, as is contained in the statute, for which reason

in every place in his bailiwick to observe the statute in all its articles,
and the king now understands that the wool and other merchandises are
commonly demised and sold for pollards and crockards and other like
money, contrary to the form of the statute: the king orders him to
provide cautiously and circumspectly that the keepers thus deputed by
him shall well and faithfully hold and keep the statute in all its articles,
so that the king shall not have matter or occasion to punish the sheriff
for their or his default in this behalf. The king orders him to cause all
wool and other things forfeited to the king in his bailiwick according to
the form of the statute aforesaid to be carried to Weymuth, and to cause
them to be delivered to the collectors of the custom of wool there by
indentures. It is provided that the sheriff shall execute this matter so
faithfully and circumspectly that no one shall be unduly aggrieved by
him and that no one shall be spared by grace or favour who has offended
against the statute. The king has ordered the collectors to receive from
the sheriff the goods and things aforesaid and to make indentures
concerning them. The sheriff shall provide so that he shall have the
indentures at his profer at the exchequer on the morrow of Michaelmas
to certify the treasurer and barons of what he has done in the premises. |
