money thence arising should be sent to Walter in England, so that he
might satisfy the said king for the 248 marks 10s. 10d., the remainder of
the fine aforesaid, as contained in other letters patent of the said king;
whereupon the said king ordered John Cogan, then treasurer, and the
chamberlains of the exchequer of Dublin to cause all Walter's lands in
Ireland, except the messuage and three carucates of land aforesaid [granted]
to Elias, and his goods, chattels and debts to be delivered to Henry de

so soon as Elias should be satisfied for the aforesaid 100 marks, or so soon
as security had been found for him before the said treasurer and chamberlains, and to cause them to be delivered to Walter or his attorneys aforesaid,
and to restore to Walter and his attorneys any money that the treasurer and
chamberlains might have received or levied of the debts, goods and chattels,
as appears by the rolls of the said king's chancery, and John has given the
king to understand that although he restored to Walter's attorneys
90l. 7s. 8d., levied by Adam de Herewynton, supplying the place of the
late king's treasurer, from Walter's goods and delivered by Adam to John
in the treasury, by virtue of the order aforesaid, as appears by the letters of
acquittance in his possession, nevertheless the treasurer and barons defer
allowing him this sum in his account at the exchequer, wherefore he has
prayed the king to provide a remedy: the king therefore orders them to
cause John to have allowance for the aforesaid sum, if they ascertain that
he paid it as stated above. |

reign, which sum John paid by virtue of the late king's order of 26 April,
in the 17th year of his reign, when he appointed Henry his justice to hold
the said pleas, to cause the usual fee to be paid to Henry, as John has
