Westminster.
To the treasurer and the barons of the exchequer. Order to remove the words the town of Douuegate and insert instead Douuegate ward in the estreats of chancery of 1 Richard II sent into the exchequer, wherein it is contained that on 12 December that year by a mainprise the king committed to Elizabeth who was wife of Edward le Despenser the ward of the manor of Rotherfeld co. Sussex, of 24s. of rent in the town of Douuegate in London, and of certain other lands; as by view of the letters patent and of the enrolment thereof upon the chancery rolls it appears that those words are unduly inserted instead of Douuegate ward, the estreats having issued by fault of the writer and with negligent examination.
