divers sums of money delivered to him as serjeant, for which answer was
not made, and delivered him to Robert de Dalton, the late constable, and
when Robert left that custody he delivered Nicholas to the present constable,
by indenture; and at Nicholas's suit, beseeching the king to order his release
as he was ready to render his account and had requested Percival to depute
auditors to audit it, but he had refused, the king ordered the constable to
direct Percival to depute auditors before Saturday last, otherwise the king
would release Nicholas, and now Percival has informed the king that Nicholas
is bound to him in 351l. 11s. 1d. of the arrears of his account, before William
de Wakefeld, keeper of the king's exchange in the Tower of London, and

was Robert amoved from the custody of the Tower, for which arrears Percival
is not yet satisfied, and Nicholas was delivered to Robert by those auditors,
because of the said arrears, and not to Percival, wherefore he has besought
the king that Nicholas may remain in prison until he has satisfied him for
the said arrears, and if Nicholas wishes to complain that there is an error
in the account, that the said account may be sent before the barons of the
exchequer, and there full justice shall be done both to Percival and

To the taxers and collectors in the East Riding, co. York, of the biennial
tenth and fifteenth last granted. Whereas the king ordered them to newly
tax the men of Ravenserod according to the value of their moveables, by
inquisition taken thereupon and to supersede the levying of the ancient
tenth of them [as at page 183 above] by virtue of which order they assessed
Robert de Cotes and several others staying in that town, named in their
certificate, at 60s. 6d., and the certificate being shown before the council
and certain reasons and causes alleged there, it was agreed that the said
60s. 6d. and 39s. 6d. beyond of increment should be levied of the said men
for the tenth for the present year, of the ancient sum touching that town,
amounting it is said to 15l., and that the residue of that ferm should be
respited for a certain time: the king therefore orders the taxers and
collectors to receive the said 100s. from those men, and to supersede
levying the remainder until Michaelmas next so that they may be able to
sue for their discharge in the matter in the meantime, if they see fit. |
