May 22. York.	To Ralph de Crophull, escheator this side Trent. Order to deliver to Robert de Wellum a moiety of a bovate of land in Mistreton, together with the issues received therefrom from the time when they were taken into the king's hands, as John (sic) de Wellum has prayed for restitution by petition before the king and council, because it appears by inquisition taken by the escheator that John de Wellum and Robert were seised of the above for 40 years and more before the death of Ralph Damyot, and that the king had at no time during Ralph's life seisin thereof by reason of Ralph's madness or otherwise, and Ralph was not an idiot in his lifetime, the king having previously ordered the escheator to deliver the moiety to John son of Adam Damyot, and not to intermeddle further with the lands that Ralph held of other lords, because it was found by inquisition taken by Robert de Sapy, late escheator this side Trent, that the moiety aforesaid was in the king's hands on account of Ralph's madness, and that it is held of the manor of Gryngelege, in the king's hands, by the service of 8s. yearly, and that John son of Adam Damyot, kinsman of the said Ralph, is his nearest heir and of full age, whereupon the king took his fealty, the king having ordered the second inquisition to be taken because he was afterwards given to understand on behalf of the said Robert that John de Wellum, his father, acquired the said tenement of Mistreton in fee from Ralph 40 years before Ralph's death, and that John held it peacefully all his life, and that Robert entered the same and held it until Ralph's death.

May 28. York.	To the mayor and bailiffs of Oxford. Order to assign, with the assent of the chancellor of the university, a certain and separate place in the town, where strangers and foreign merchants bringing victuals to the town may sell the same by their own hands, and to cause proclamation to be made in the town inhibiting any burgesses or regrators or others of that town from buying any goods or victuals from such strangers and foreign merchants before they come to the aforesaid place with their goods and victuals, or from intermixing themselves with the said merchants in the said place in buying goods and victuals, preventing the clerks and layment in the town buying goods and victuals freely without forestalling, under pain of forfeiture of their victuals, the master and scholars of the university having shewn by their petition before the king and his council at York that burgesses and regrators of the said town meet merchants and other strange men coming to the town with victuals and other necessaries for sale before they come to the town in divers places outside the town, and buy and forestall their goods and victuals, and intermix themselves with the said merchants and men when they come to the town in selling their goods and victuals, so that the masters and scholars may not buy goods and victuals from the aforesaid merchants and men without forestalling. By pet. of C.

May 29. York.	To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to inspect the account and rolls of John de Sandale, the late king's receiver in Gascony, and if they find that he charged himself with 50l., for which Philip de Kyme made a simple recognisance in the late king's exchequer, being an imprest made to him upon his passage to Gascony in the late king's service during the war between him and the king of France, and that John did not make another recognisance for that sum to the late king, to discharge Philip of the said sum, as Philip has shewn by his petition before the king and his council that they exact this sum from him by virtue of the aforesaid recognisance and delay allowing him that sum, because the recognisance does not make mention that the 50l. were received as imprest from the late king's wardrobe, although Philip had not previously made another recognisance for that sum, which sum was allowed to him by account made with the said John de Sandale in his wages for his stay in those parts, as appears by the account in the exchequer and by letters of Henry de Lacy, sometime earl of Lincoln, then keeper of Gascony. By pet. of C.
