To the same. Order to supersede the demand made upon Thomas Gra, John Goldbeter, Thomas de Lyndesey, John de Ripon, Thomas de Menythorp, John Shakelok and William de Skelton, merchants of York, for 800l. if after inspecting the rolls of the collectors of customs in the port of the city of York, and the account of Master Robert de Askeby, appointed to receive a subsidy of 40s. a sack on wool taken to Flanders from England, they find that that sum was demanded of them as follows, as because they lent the king 400l. in his urgent need, in parts beyond the sea, the king granted them the passage of 400 sacks of wool in the said port, quit of the custom and subsidy, the king ordered Robert to permit them to take the 400 sacks quit of the said subsidy; and now the king has learned that the treasurer and barons have charged them with 800l. for the subsidy upon Robert's account, because the king's writs do not expressly state that he pardoned them the said subsidy.
