January 1368



Jan. 9. Westminster.	To the collectors of the petty custom and the king's searcher in the port of London. Order to cause a ship called 'la Laurence' of Wale by Calais by them arrested to be dearrested, suffering John Loytyn the master and the seamen without let to go with the said ship whither they will; as the said master, who therein brought certain merchandise to London from the port of Calais, is without guilt concerning the removal from his said ship by certain merchants or others without payment of custom of a wallet containing customable merchandise, as the king is fully informed. By C.
Jan. 14. Westminster.	To the collectors of the petty custom and the king's controller and searcher in the port of London. Order, upon the petition of Herman de Mulyk of Almayn attorney of Bernard Usterfeld merchant, after payment of the customs thereupon due, to deliver to the said Herman a mail filled with goods called 'eirmyns' to make his advantage thereof; as the petitioner has shewn that he delivered the said mail in the port of Caleys to John de Hatfeld merchant of Almayn to be taken over to the city of London with goods of the said John in a ship called 'la Laurence' of Wale by Calais, and that the same was put ashore in the port of London among other the merchandise of the said John by a servant of his, in whose keeping the same was, in the absence of the said Herman and without his knowledge while he was at Canterbury upon his pilgrimage, wherefore it was by the searcher arrested as forfeit to the king, and is kept under arrest for that it was found not cocketed nor customed, praying restitution thereof seeing that no fault is found in him.
Jan. 24. Westminster.	To the treasurer and the barons of the exchequer. Order to stay their demand made by exchequer summons upon Robert de Assheton late captain of Guynes castle for four horses, one boat and one cart bound with iron by him received (it is said) of Richard de Eccleshale late treasurer of Calais, of the king's favour discharging him thereof.
