Aug. 23.
Westminster.		 To John de Pembrok escheator in Ireland. Whereas the king is given to understand that great numbers of mere Irish are admitted to dwell in divers cities, boroughs and towns of Ireland by colour of liberties and privileges which the citizens, burgesses and others allege that they have by charters of former kings, to the king's prejudice and peril of the loss of those places: order, for the safety thereof, to inform himself by the oath of true and lawful men of Ireland what mere Irish and how many are admitted as aforesaid, by what authority or privilege, since what time and in what manner, to examine the said charters, and to certify the king in the chancery of England of the result and of their action.
