Dec. 30. Beverley.	To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Hugh de Longedon, late sub-escheator in co. Lincoln of Simon de Bereford, late escheator beyond Trent, has shewn the king that he paid 13l. 6s. 8d. from the issues of that escheatry to Simon at London, on 10 June, in the 4th year of the king's reign, in the presence of John de Westbrok, then clerk of the said Simon, by indenture remaining amongst the writs of the said Simon, for the king's use, and that Simon was condemned to death before he rendered his account of the issues of his bailiwick, and that the said treasurer and barons have deferred making allowance to Hugh therefor because the said indenture found amongst Simon's writs was not sealed with Simon's seal, and that they intend levying that sum from him, wherefore he has besought the king for a remedy: the king orders the treasurer and barons to cause John de Westbrok and Richard de Thornton, then Simon's receivers, to come before them and to examine them, and if they ascertain that Hugh paid this sum to Simon, to cause him to have allowance for it. By p.s. [6050].
