Dec. 28. Westminster.	To Bartholomew de Burgherssh, constable of Dover castle and warden of the Cinque Ports, or to him who supplies his place. Order to deliver 7 sarplars of wool to Bernard Pouche and Richard atte Ware, without delay, if they shall find security to answer the king for that wool or the price thereof if it ought to pertain to him, certifying the king in chancery of that security, as it was found by inquisition taken by William de Clynton, earl of Huntyngdon, sometime constable of the said castle and warden of the said ports, that the said 7 sarplars of Bernard and Richard had been arrested by Saier Lorymer, appointed to arrest wool not coketted or customed crossing to parts beyond the sea, in the port of the town of Faversham, when ordained to be taken to the city of London to do the pleasure of Bernard and Richard there and not to parts beyond, wherefore Bernard and Richard have besought the king to order the said sarplars to be dearrested and delivered to them, and the king has ordered Saier to be before him in chancery on the morrow of Hilary next, to inform the king and council why the wool should not be dearrested and delivered to Bernard and Richard, and further to do what shall be ordained by the king and his council.
