Thomas Botiller, William Pelleson, Robert Pynceon and Henry Russel to

this Calendar 14 Edward III, page 565], and now the king has learned

the first year [as at page 24 above], and now the earl has besought the king
to order that sum to be paid to him of the subsidy in the said Riding and
moiety as he cannot obtain entire payment upon the issues of the subsidy
in the said Riding and moiety on account of divers assignments of divers
sums made upon those issues. By K. |
