To the bailiffs of Great Yarmouth. Order to cause Robert Elys and
Walter de Lincoln, merchants of this realm, to know that they must be
before the treasurer and barons of the exchequer at Westminster on
the morrow of All Souls next, with the memoranda and evidences touching
their receipts from ships of merchants of the power of the count of
Hainault, which the count appointed them to take, prepared to render
account of their receipts, as the count has written to the king that they
distrain his merchants coming to that port, although they have been satisfied
for the sum assigned to them, and he has prayed the king to cause them to
desist from such distraints, and to prefix a day for them and the merchants
of the count's power to see whether the payment have been fully made or not.

him that the king has issued the preceding order to the bailiffs of Great
Yarmouth, and requesting the count to warn the merchants of his power to
appear on the aforesaid day to charge Robert and Walter with what they
have received in this behalf. The king cannot at present stop the aforesaid
matter, which was begun at the instance of the parties, and at another time
at the count's request, since nothing can be attempted unless the parties
have been called without offence of right; wherefore the king requests him
to hold him excused in this respect. |

To the collectors of the custom of wool and wool-fells in the port of
Boston. Order to permit the merchants of the society of the Scali of
Florence and their servants to take 150 sacks of wool from that port to parts
beyond sea without hindrance, the king having previously ordered them to
permit them to take wool and wool-fells out of that port because the said
merchants had made fine with him for certain of their wool sent to parts
beyond sea contrary to the charter of the staple, and had found security to
satisfy the king if they should be convicted of further trespasses, as the
collectors hinder the said merchants because the aforesaid order does not
contain the number of sacks. |
