July 15. Westminster.	To the treasurer and the barons of the exchequer. Order with assent of the council to make the bailiffs and commonalty of Colcestre an allowance of the said 100l. (sic) for the time past and to come; as they held the town time out of mind for a fee farm of 42l. as appears of record in the exchequer, and before and after that time, until now of late according to an order of William Lescrope late treasurer they had allowance in the exchequer of 7l. thereof, namely 4l. for lack of four moneyers, 40s. for lack of wood in Kyngeswode, and 20s. in alms given to the monks of Colcestre by divers former kings as appears of record in time of the king's ancestors, namely from the time of Henry II to the late king's time when William Lescrope caused them to be troubled contrary to the ancient allowances. By p.s. [2704.]
