To Thomas de Melchebourn, William de Melchebourn and their fellows, merchants of England, to whom the king granted all the customs and subsidies of the realm for a certain time. Order to pay to John de Stryvelyn 200 marks of the issues of the customs in the port of Newcastle upon Tyne if they suffice for this and if not to pay him what is lacking of the issues of the customs in the port of Kingeston upon Hull, in accordance with the king's grant to him of 200 marks to be received yearly of the issues of the customs in the ports of Newcastle upon Tyne and Hertilpool and afterwards, because the passage of wool in the port of Hertilpol was closed, the king granted that he should receive the 200 marks in the port of Newcastle, and he has informed the king that he cannot receive the entire sum of 200 marks in that port because only a moderate quantity of wool is laded there, and he has besought the king to cause what is lacking to be paid to him.

To the sheriff of Southampton. Order to pay to Isabel late the wife of Robert Parvyng, executrix of his will, or to her attorney, 26 marks of the issues of the fines and amercements adjudged before him and his fellows, appointed to hear and determine divers trespasses and excesses in that county and before other lieges appointed to be such justices, and if these do not suffice, to pay her what is lacking out of the issues of that county, as the king ordered the sheriff to pay her 26 marks for Robert's expenses for twenty-six days, from 16 July in the 17th year of the reign, to 10 August following, which the king ordered Thomas de Chisenhale, late sheriff of the county, to pay to her, and which were not paid by him, as appears by his certificate sent into chancery, and now Isabel has informed the king that she cannot be satisfied for that sum of the said fines and amercements and she has besought the king to cause the 26 marks to be paid to her.
