release of the forfeiture of alnage thereon anciently put, to wit 4d.
the cloth of assize without grain, 6d. the cloth of assize of scarlet,
5d. the cloth of assize of half grain, of every half cloth a moiety of the
said subsidy, of every other cloth exceeding the half cloth by 3 ells or
more but less than a cloth of assize, and of every cloth exceeding the
cloth of assize by 3 ells or more, in proportion to the subsidy due for
the whole cloth of assize of the same kind, rendering to the king 30l.
a year at the quinzaine of Easter and the quinzaine of Michaelmas
by even portions; if during the two years the said subsidy or any
parcel thereof shall cease by order of the king or council the said
farmers, their deputies and heirs, shall be quit of their farm from the
time it shall first so cease, and shall be quit toward the king of all
impeachment in time to come touching the collection and administration thereof, saving to every man his action if he would complain
of extortion or excess; they shall not be compelled to render account
of the issues of the subsidy, but only to answer for their yearly farm,
and the king has given them licence to let the same to farm, in whole
or in part as they please; whereas in the statute it is contained that
all cloths exposed for sale before being sealed with the seal appointed
for the purpose shall be forfeit to the king, the king's will is that
the farmers and their deputies be bound to deliver by indenture all
cloths so forfeit to the sheriffs of the counties wherein they are
found, who shall answer for the same at their account, and the
farmers shall have for their pains the third of such forfeitures; if
the farmers have to sue any persons for any matter concerning their
farm, the king will make himself a party thereto in their
aid, and will make commissions to certain people at the farmers'
nomination to make inquisition in the said counties of the towns
and places where cloth is made, and every maker of cloth shall be forbidden on pain of forfeiture to suffer any cloth to pass out of his keeping
until sealed; the seals for this purpose shall be new made by advice
of the council and of the farmers, and the old seals shall be given up
and put in the treasury, to avoid hurt which might thereby come to
the farmers; they shall have as many commissions and writs of
chancery as shall be necessary in aid of the collection without payment in the hanaper for the seal of those first issued, provided that they
pay for other commissions and writs thereafter issued as other people;
and if the subsidy shall be further leased after the said term and they
shall wish to take it, they shall have the preference for the sum that
others will give. Dated Westminster, 30 September 36 Edward III.
