To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Whereas divers liberties

liberties and acquittances, although they may not hitherto have used them

might claim as pertaining to them in any way, as well of the men and
tenants of others and of alien fees as of their own men and tenants and of
their own fee, and as soon as the felons were convicted, or fled, or refused
to stand to judgment, whereby they ought to lose their chattels, the bishop
and his predecessors and the prior and convent and their predecessors
placed themselves in seisin of the said chattels and retained them, and the
king impeached them concerning the same in times past because express
mention thereof was not made in the said charters, the king has granted
that the bishop and his successors and the prior and convent and their
successors may receive and have for ever all such forfeitures as above, and
that they may have and receive them as above without hindrance, as is contained in his charter: he therefore orders the treasurer and barons to
permit the bishop, prior and convent to have such chattels, year and waste,
both before and after the time of the making of his charter without hindrance, and to allow to them in the exchequer all the aforesaid liberties and
all and singular the other liberties and acquittances contained in the charters
