Memorandum, that the sheriff of Southampton, to whom William,
bishop of St. Andrews, the king's traitor, is delivered for safe custody in
the tower of Winchester Castle, in accordance with what is more
expressly enjoined upon him by the king's writ, shall cause to be
administered to the bishop his expenses in this manner; to wit
to the bishop for his own expenses, 6d. a day; and for a
yeoman serving him, 3d. a day; and for a groom likewise serving
him, 1½d. a day; and for a chaplain to celebrate mass for him, 1½d. a day.
Such chaplain, yeoman and groom shall be chosen from whom no peril is
feared and for whom the sheriff will answer at his peril. For other
keepers who shall seem necessary for the custody of the bishop, the sheriff
shall dispose as shall seem best to him for his security. |

Also the said sheriff, to whom Robert, bishop of Glasgow, is delivered
in like manner for imprisonment in Porchester castle, shall depute for him
similar keepers and ministers, and shall minister to him his costs and
expenses there, as is expressed above for the bishop of St. Andrew. |
|
And for the costs incurred by the sheriff about the bishop and those
serving them, and about other charges in the wages of the said keepers,
allowance shall be made to him by the present indenture, the second part
whereof remains in the hands of the treasurer of the exchequer. [Fœdera;
