of Henry de Lincoln[ia], burgess of Yarmouth—that he had sent certain
of his goods and wares to the value of 260l. by Roger de Leycestr[ia]

him from Hugh Balle Heynessone of Zeeland (Seland'), and Hugh and

and wares to Cach' in Zeeland—requested John, late count of Holland and
Zeeland and lord of Friesland, by his letters to hear the complaint of
Henry and to cause justice to be done to him as to the wrongs and
trespasses aforesaid, and he failed to do justice to Henry, as appears to
the king by the letters testimonial of the burgesses of Yarmouth under
their seal directed to him; wherefore he ordered the said bailiffs and the
bailiffs of Yarmouth, Boston, Kyngeston-on-Hull, Newcastle-on-Tyne,
and the mayor and sheriffs of London by divers writs to cause goods
and wares of merchants of Holland and Zeeland found within their
respective bailiwicks to be arrested, and to cause them to be appraised

Holland, Zeeland and Friesland to the value of 74l. 13s. 4d. (sic), which are
in arrear to Henry of the said 260l., and to cause them to be appraised
and delivered to him; and the mayor and sheriffs have delivered to him
100s. and the bailiffs of Yarmouth 30l. 10s. 6d. belonging to the said
merchants by virtue of the said order, as appears to the king by their
return: the king, wishing to satisfy Henry for the remaining 39l. 2s. 10d.
still in arrear to him, orders the bailiff to arrest all goods and wares of the
said merchants to that amount, and to cause them to be valued and
