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

To the same. Peter Child has shown the king that whereas he lately
made fine before John de Drokenesford, then supplying the treasurer's

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
