Westminster.		 To the collectors of customs in the port of Bristol. Order to cause all the wool laded there before Midsummer next to be weighed and customed in the presence of Richard de Rouclif, the king's clerk, and indentures thereupon to be made with him, and when the wool is weighed and the custom and subsidy are paid, to permit the wool, hides and wool-fells for which they have received the subsidy and custom, to be laded in that port and taken to the staple in Flanders, so that after the said feast the coket seal may be brought back to the exchequer by Richard, and that from that feast no wool, hides or fells may cross from that port without the king's special order, as the king wishes that all who wish to lade such wool, etc., and take them to the staple shall do so before the said feast, paying 40s. a sack, 4l. for each last of hides, and 40s. for every 300 wool-fells beyond the custom due thereon in accordance with the agreement, and the king sends Richard to them with the coket seal deputed in that port, to make letters patent for the said wool, etc., and to see that the wool is well and truly weighed and customed, and to bring back that seal to the exchequer immediately after the said feast.
