chancery: the king orders the escheator to cause a wardship to be provided
from the next wardships coming to the king's hands of the value of 10l.

To John Wogan, justiciary of Ireland, or to him who supplies his

to him for his service by the common consent of the chapter of his
church 100s. yearly of rent for his life, to be received in the towns of
Balicantel, Balitraa, and Balymone, as is contained in the charter, and
that the escheator immediately after the archbishop's death took the rent
into the king's hands because the archbishop and chapter had made the
grant without the king's licence, and Robert has besought the king to
grant that he may hold the rent for life in accordance with the grant: the
king orders them, if they satisfy themselves that the premises are true,
to deliver the rent to Robert to hold for life so far as this can be done
without prejudice to any one. By pet. of C. [54.] |

taken from him for the king's use at Karnarvan, in the twenty-fifth year
of his reign, by the hands of Hugh de Leominstre, then the king's
chamberlain there, wherefore the abbot has a tally: the king orders the
treasurer and barons to inspect the rolls of Hugh's account of the time
when he was chamberlain at Carnarvan rendered to the exchequer, and if
they find that Hugh is therein charged with the said corn, to cause the
abbot to have allowance for the price of the corn in the debts due from
him to the exchequer, or in the debts of others due to the exchequer to
be assigned to him by the treasurer and barons. By pet. of C. [2583.] |

the county, and to restore to him anything that he may have levied from
him in this behalf, as John came in person to the said parliament. By C.
