Ingepenne in exigent, and to cause his goods and chattels taken into the
king's hands by the sheriff to be kept safely without diminution until the
king shall cause ordinance to be made concerning them by his council, as
Roger, who was indicted before John de Berewyk and his fellows, justices
last in eyre in that county, for homicides, harbouring of felons and
divers other trespasses committed in that county against the king's peace,
and for which he was put in exigent at the king's suit for his contumacy,
has appeared in person before the king and has submitted himself to his
grace and will concerning these offences and has found mainprise before
Walter de Bello Campo, steward of the king's household, to stand to right

To the sheriff of Northumberland. Order to cause a coroner for that
county to be elected in place of Roger de Hecheham, who is unable to
execute the duties of the office because he is intending the collection of
the murage granted to the burgesses of Newcastle-on-Tyne and also the
repair of the walls of that town. |
Nov. 26. Reading. |
To the sheriff of Southampton. Order to deliver to John de Sandale,
king's clerk, keeper of the king's exchange at London, half of the ship
called 'La Coge Sancte Marie de Baiona,' lately arrested at Southampton
by virtue of the king's writ to arrest the goods and chattels of William de
Saltu in the sheriff's bailiwick, and to deliver half of her tackle and gear,
to do therewith what the king has ordered him, although it is contained
in an inquisition that the king caused to be taken by John Gerberge and
John de Shirle concerning a moiety of the ship that the moiety on the
day of the arrest belonged to Philip de Sancto Severo, and that William
had no part therein on the day of the arrest, as the inquisition was
improperly taken and was contrary to the tenor of the king's writ, for
which reason the king considers it insufficient, and it is also testified
before the king by trustworthy men that a moiety of the ship belonged to
William on the said day, and that he claimed the moiety after the arrest
as his own property and prayed for delivery of it to be made to him.

and the king of France, to be delivered by them without delay to certain
noblemen, both clerks and others, of Gascony, as the king, on 17 August,
in the thirtieth year of his reign, assigned all the issues aforesaid to the
noblemen aforesaid, to be received from that day by the hands of said John
and Thomas, or one of them, whom the king appointed to receive the
