Dec. 18. Westminster.	To the bailiffs of the liberties of the archbishop of York and of the provostship of St. John Beverley, and to the aldermen and burgesses of Beverley. Order yet to suffer Agnes who was wife of William Lumbard of Beverley, until the king shall put an end to debate between her and Thomas son of Peter Lumbard of Beverley and until further order, peaceably to remain in full possession of her husband's lands and rents there concerning which debate has arisen, and from which she was thrust out, maintaining and protecting her therein, and order to the said bailiffs upon warning received to aid her or her attorney in levying such rent; as by counsel and advice of Robert Bealknap chief justice of the Bench, John de Waltham the king's clerk keeper of the rolls of chancery and others, order was lately made by Michael de la Pole the chancellor, now earl of Suffolk, that she should be put in seisin of the premises, and the king ordered the bailiffs etc. so to do.

Oct. 17. Westminster.	To the treasurer and the barons of the exchequer. Order, upon petition of Amandus Mounceux late sheriff of Cumberland, to allow him in his account that which they may be assured that he has spent in bringing to Wyndesore castle Alexander Fetherstonhalgh, imprisoned in Karliol castle for certain misprisions against the king, and delivering him to the custody of the constable thereof or to his lieutenant, which the king commanded the sheriff upon his allegiance to do; as he has shewn that he did it at his own cost, as may appear by the part of an indenture which he has with him. By C.
Nov. 8. Westminster.	To the keepers of the passage in the port of London, Great Jernemuth, Dovorre or Sandewich. Order to suffer Geoffrey abbot of St. John Colcestre, sailing over sea with the king's licence, to pass in one of those ports, any previous command to the contrary notwithstanding, so that he take with him nought to the prejudice of the king or realm. By K.
Dec. 1. Westminster.	To the treasurer and the barons of the exchequer. Order, upon petition of John Thirlewalle late sheriff of Cumberland, to allow him in his account that which they may be assured by his oath that he might not levy of the issues, farms or rents of great number of the king's demesne lands, and of other lands, serjeanties, assarts and small farms in Cumberland, because the same are wasted and destroyed by the king's enemies, Scots and Frenchmen, and by ditches lately made for defence of the city of Karliol against their attacks; as John de Nevylle of Raby has witnessed before the king in chancery that his statement is true.
