	Membrane 26.
Jan. 26. Westminster.	To the collectors of the custom of wool, hides and wool-fells in the port of London. Order to cause a like allowance to be made to Walter de Turk and Walter de Belgrave, executors of the will of Walter de Chesthunt, for the residue of 670l. 12s. 1d., in accordance with the ordinance as the king was bound to John de Oxenford of London in 1,341l. 4s. 2d. for wool sent by him to parts beyond the sea and there taken by Reginald de Conductu and John de la Pole, supplying the place of William de la Pole, and the king promised to pay him 670l. 12s. 1d. of that sum at a certain time, and afterwards Richard de Rothyng, Walter Neel, Adam Brabazon and John Wythorn of Denton, chaplain, executors of John's will, acknowledged before the king in chancery that the 670l. 12s. 1d. were due to Walter de Chesthunt for wool bought of him by John and they besought the king to cause Walter to be satisfied, and by the certificate of the treasurer and barons of the exchequer and the chamberlains it is found that no allowance of the 670l. 12s. 1d. was made to John, and because the executors of his will surrendered the writ for that sum the king to be cancelled, the king promised to pay that sum to Walter, and ordered the collectors to cause him to have allowance for 600l. thereof in accordance with the ordinance, and the king ordered the collectors of customs in the port of Lenne to cause him to have allowance for the remaining 70l. 12s. 1d. in the said form, and 94l. 4s. 7½d. were allowed to him for 94 sacks 12 cloves of wool laded in the port of London between 20 July in the 17th year of the reign and Midsummer following, as appears by the certificate of the collectors sent into chancery, and now the executors of John's will have besought the king to cause them to have allowance for the residue. The king has sent a like order to the collectors of customs in the port of Lenne for the residue of the said 70l. 12s. 1d.
