make the money in their default; and the king will cause proclamation to
be made throughout the realm that no one shall take any money out of the

person at the king's will, except by his special permission, and that no one
shall bring into England any manner of false or counterfeit money, upon
the same penalty; also that no man shall receive or spend any gold or
silver upon the aforesaid penalty unless it be of the king's coinage, and

one may spy upon and accuse those who do the contrary, and of the money
found false, a third part shall go to the informer and two parts to the king;
and the king confirms to the masters and to their fellows the ancient
charters of liberties granted to the moneyers, and that they shall behave
well to the king and people, to wit, that if they fail in the weight of the
money, or if they fail in the alloy thereof, Walter de Mauny, Thomas de
Passelewe of co. Essex, Thomas Tirel of the same county, Francis Bache
of co. Surrey, Edmund Rose of co. Norfolk, Roger de Wrotham of London,
