laded, discharging them thereof the delivery of the said ship's sailing
gear (velaminis) notwithstanding, and charging those who are indicted

ships in that port by John Godeslond and others laded with 480 quarters
of corn of divers sorts for foreign parts after the proclamation forbidding

Walter atte More his clerk in order to execute that command, and
forthwith after production of that mandate, before the same was
or might be executed, the sailors thereof made a rescue upon the
sheriff and hindered such execution, and when the sheriff returned
to the said town for aid departed with the ship and corn upon the
tide, so that the said late bailiffs took nor might have taken
naught thereof, the treasurer and the barons considering not these

the price of the said ship laded with 330 quarters so rescued and carried
away and of the corn, for that they delivered to the seamen thereof
the sailing gear of the ship which the said bailiffs had in their keeping
after the arrest by them made, praying for remedy. |
