To the sheriff of Hertford and the coroners of the same county. Order to cause a horse of Richard de Harecurt, which was taken into the king's hands as deodand because a woman was accidentally slain by it in the fair at Royston (ville crucis Roesie), to be appraised and to be delivered to Richard in accordance with that appraisement, on condition that he answer for the price before the justices at the first assize.
To the sheriff of Surrey. Order to cause a coroner for that county to be elected in place of Thomas de Otteworth, deceased.
To the justices appointed for the custody of the Jews. As Floria, late the wife of Miles son of Jacob, a Jew of London, has satisfied the king for all the debts in which Miles at his death was indebted to the king, for which divers charters by which divers debts were due to Miles were taken from the chest of the chirographers of the Jews of London and were deposited in the treasury, the justices are ordered, if it be so and if the charters and debts aforesaid are detained for this reason and no other, to cause them to be withdrawn from the treasury and delivered to Floria.
To the sheriff of Essex (sic). Order to cause a coroner to be elected in place of William Inges, lately elected coroner in Luthinglond, as the king learns by trustworthy testimony that William is so broken with age that he is incapable of executing the office of coroner.
To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to acquit Master Henry de Bray, escheator this side Trent, of 50l. yearly from the day when he assigned the custody of the manor of Westburgh, co. Lincoln, which belonged to Robert de Everingham, tenant in chief, to Christiana de Mariscis, as the king lately ordered the escheator to assign to her 30l. yearly of land for ten years from the king's wardships in his hands, in recompence for the knights' fees and advowsons of churches that belonged to her in Ireland, which she granted to the king and queen, and afterwards, because the escheator was unable for a long time after the receipt of the order to assign the said 30l. yearly of land to her, the king enjoined him by word of mouth to assign to her 50l. yearly of lands for six years, and the escheator accordingly assigned to her the custody of the said manor.

To the sheriff of Suffolk. Order to restore to Peter de Bosco, clerk, imprisoned at Melton for the death of Roger Ewon of Sutton, wherewith he is charged, his lands, goods and chattels, as he has purged his innocence before R. bishop of Norwich, to whom he was delivered to Hugh de Brok and his fellows, justices appointed to deliver the aforesaid gaol.
