that port, to be diligently inspected, and cause all who have wool therein to
be diligently examined by oath and otherwise so that they shall not pass off
the wool of aliens as their own, under pain of forfeiture of the wool, and so
that answer shall be made to the king for the custom and subsidy on
wool taken from that port, as the king is informed that merchants and
other natives pass off the wool of aliens as their own and thus defraud the
king of 20s. of the custom and subsidy, as native merchants pay 40s. a
sack and for every 300 wools fells taken out of the realm, and alien

de Morle, admiral of the fleet, from the mouth of the Thames towards the

whereby the custody thereof ought to pertain to the king until Ralph come

To the keeper of Ireland. Peter de Grandissono has besought the king to
grant him the right to alienate his manors of Kilsylan, Kilsokele and his
town of Clon in Ireland, which are held in chief, as they are wasted by the
king's Irish enemies, and Peter receives little or nothing therefrom, and
cannot defend them because he is staying in England, the king therefore
orders the keeper to take an inquisition upon the value of the premises by

John de Bayon[ne] to take 12 sacks of wool from that port to Gascony,
without paying the custom and subsidy thereon, as the king granted that

because there is no passage of wool in that port, he took the wool and two
sacks in addition, to the port of Bristol, and although he paid the custom

attorney in the port of Chichester of William de la Pole, to whom the king
granted all those customs and subsidies, has acknowledged in chancery, yet
the collectors at Bristol exact the custom and subsidy from him. By C. |

and cause letters of coket to be made thereupon, under the half seal, if the
attorneys of William refuse to deliver the half of the seal in his custody,
as the king has learned that the attorneys refuse to affix the half seal in

made long before the said grant to William. By C. |

daughter and heir of John de Breaunzoun, tenant in chief, who died a
minor, in the king's wardship, and that the manor and advowson ought to

delivered it to him by indenture, asserting that it was in the king's hands
by reason of the trespass of John and the others in acquiring it of John la

John Nebbyngg and the others showing that the land is not held of the
king but of the prior of Bromholm by the service of 5s. 4½d. yearly, and
beseeching the king to order his hand to be amoved therefrom, the king
ordered the escheator to take an inquisition upon the matter, by which it
is found that the land is held of the prior as parcel of the manor of Witton
by the service of 5s. 4½d. yearly, and not of the king, and the manor is
held of the prior by the service of paying 40s. yearly to him. |

committing crimes, to the town of Suthwerk, where they could not be
attached by the ministers of the city, and for lack of punishment they
became more bold, and the citizens beseeching the king to grant the town
to them for a yearly ferm, on the said 6 March the king granted the town
to them, with the assent of parliament, for rendering the accustomed ferm;
and afterwards the king learned from the citizens that although the town
was demised at ferm for 10l. only before the said grant, and answer was
wont to be made for that sum, except that John de Lincoln, citizen of
London, to whom the late king was bound in a great sum of money, procured that the town should be committed to him for the value of 11l.
yearly so that he might be more speedily satisfied, yet the treasurer and barons
compel the citizens to render 11l. yearly; and the king ordered them to
inspect the rolls of the exchequer, and view the accounts of the sheriff of
Surrey before the said grant, and inform the king of what they should find;
and they returned that it was found that the said bailiwick was of
the body of co. Surrey and answer was made in the sum of the county with
the other bailwicks and profits of the county until 7 Edward I when it was
first separated from the body of the county and committed to Hugh de

after John's death, and the manors of Geddyng, Laxton and Pyghtesle, are
held in chief by the service of hunting the cat, wolf and badger in certain
counties; and the manor of Grafham is held of the earl of Gloucester by
