although frequently commanded by the king of France to de justice in this
matter, and the present king requested the countess to do so within a certain term now elapsed, but she did nothing although Peter delivered to her
the king's letters and prayed for justice, as more fully appears by public
instruments and other documents exhibited by Peter in chancery. |

goods, seized into the king's hands as forfeited, delivered to her for the
execution of his will, asserting that of right they ought not to be confiscated
because he was not judicially convicted of any felony; wherefore the king
has ordained that the goods should be delivered to her upon her finding
the sheriff sufficient mainpernors to answer for the goods at the next
parliament if it were then found by the king's council that they ought to
be forfeited: wherefore the king commands the sheriff that, as she has
found the mainprise aforesaid, he is to certify (reddat[is] certiores) thereof

To the sheriff of Cornwall. Order to cause proclamation to be made that
the king has ordained that tin shall be stamped and sold in the town of
Lostwythiel, that it shall not be exported until it have been stamped, and
that the county [court] of Cornwall shall be held there and not elsewhere,
as Edmund, late earl of Cornwall, ordained, as the king understands that
owing to the stamping being done in five towns, tin was largely stamped
with false stamps, which stamps are now found, and that a great amount of
tin unstamped by the king's stamps was exported without paying the king's
stampage. The king has appointed Richard de Polhampton, steward of
Cornwall, to keep his stamp in the aforesaid town and to stamp the tin. |
