Dec. 26. Beverley.	To Ralph de Craystok. Order to pay to William de Kelk, clerk, 100s. yearly from the manor of Thorpbasset, co. York, for the time that it has been in his hands by the king's commission, until Ralph shall provide him with an acceptable benefice, as the king learns by inquisition taken by Robert de Sapy, late escheator this side Trent, that Ralph son of William, tenant in chief, granted the above sum yearly to the aforesaid William from the said manor until he should provide him with a suitable ecclesiastical benefice, and that William was seised thereof and received the same until the time of Ralph's death, when the escheator took the manor into the king's hands together with Ralph's other lands, and that William has not yet obtained any benefice.
	To the treasurer, chamberlains, and barons of the exchequer. Order to pay to William de Monte Acuto or to cause assignment to be made to him for the ferm of the city of Chichester for Michaelmas term last, and for the portion for that term of the yearly sum of 38l. 6s. 8d. of the ferm that Henry de Cobeham renders for the ferm of the city of Rochester and the custody of the castle there, with wards and appurtenances, in co. Kent, the king having taken into his hands by virtue of the ordinances the ferm of 36l. that the citizens of Chichester render and 38l. 6s. 8d. out of the 50l. rendered for the above by the said Henry, on the ground that the king had granted these sums to William for life contrary to the ordinances, as the king afterwards, on 1 December last, granted to the said William, in consideration of his service to him and his father, with the consent of the prelates, earls, barons, and other proceres of this realm, the aforesaid ferm of Chichester and the 38l. 6s. 8d. for life, and ordered the same to be delivered to him, together with what had been received thence from the time when they were taken into the king's hands, the king understanding that the citizens of Chichester and the said Henry have paid their ferms for the aforesaid term into the exchequer because the ferms were at that time in the king's hands.
