wool and other goods to the value of 1,244l. 10s. 0d. whilst voyaging to

requesting them to do justice to the said merchants; but they did nothing,
with the exception that the schöffen and council of Kampen wrote requesting
safe conduct for their envoys coming to England to treat with the king
and his council for the damages abovesaid; whereupon they sent William
called 'the Rich' and Henry son of Eynold, consules of the said town, as
envoys to the king during the term of the king's conduct, who brought
letters of credence to the king, and who afterwards asserted in chancery
that they were only sent to receive information concerning the premises in
order that they might take counsel with their fellow-townsmen after their
return home, praying the king to grant them a delay of three or two years
or another period at the king's will; and the said envoys secretly returned
home without having made satisfaction or awaiting the arrival of those
whom the king caused to come to his court in this matter: wherefore the
king, considering that the envoys did not come to him with power to make
satisfaction and that they endeavour to defraud the said merchants by
frivolous delays and excuses, orders the sheriff to arrest goods of the men of
the said towns to the value of 414l. 16s. 8d. in part satisfaction of the
above sum, and to retain the same until they be satisfied for that sum,
certifying the king of their proceedings. The king has ordered the sheriffs
of Norfolk and York to arrest goods in like manner to the value of
829l. 3s. 4d. (sic), the balance of the above sum. By C. |
