To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. As Hugh de Gernemutha, bailiff of Suthwerk, is unable, by reason of the office he intends in chancery, to appear before them on the morrow of Michaelmas in person to make his proffer there, the king orders them to admit Henry de Herdwyk, Hugh's clerk, to make his proffer before them.
To the same. Peter Child has shown the king that whereas he lately made fine before John de Drokenesford, then supplying the treasurer's place, and before the barons for Peter de Suthchirche and others lately appealed by Sabina, late the wife of Michael de Cardoyl, of the death of Michael, in 100s. for having a writ to hear and determine the aforesaid appeal before the justices appointed for that purpose, the treasurer and barons cause the 100s. to be exacted from Peter Child as if the appealed had had the writ, although they did not have it because the appeal was then pending before the king: the king orders them to search the rolls of the exchequer concerning the writ, and if they find that the fine was made for having such writ and that the 100s. are exacted from Peter for this reason only, to cause Peter to be discharged and acquitted thereof.
