To Richard de Shardelowe and Thomas de Lakford collectors in the
city of London and in Middlesex of the subsidy of cloth granted to
the king according to the statute for remission of the forfeiture to
him belonging of the alnage of cloth. Whereas in the said statute it
is contained that nothing of that subsidy be paid nor demanded for
cloths whereof the said subsidy has once been paid, and which have
been sealed with the collector's seal, into whose hands soever they
may come for sale or otherwise, and that all cloths not so sealed exposed
for sale are forfeit into whose hands soever they may come; and now on
behalf of the drapers of the said city it is shewn that, whereas they
buy white cloths and, after they are sealed and the subsidy is paid,
ofttimes change them to other colours, and if not pleased with those
colours cause them to be dyed anew, whereby the wax of the seal is
melted owing to the heat of the dye, also whereas they buy sealed
cloths and sell the moiety of the cloth to which the seal is attached
at the choice of the buyer, the collectors cause the cloths so dyed,
and likewise the moiety of the cloths on which is no seal, to be arrested
when exposed for sale as forfeit for that no seal is found thereon, unless
they be sealed anew and the subsidy paid, whereupon they have
petitioned the king for remedy: order to seal all cloths henceforth
with a seal of lead which cannot be defaced by dye or by light touch
of hand, or else to mark cloths which are to be dyed with a mark
whereby they can afterwards be recognised, and further to seal at
either end all cloths which the sellers wish, so that when one half
is sold the other may be visibly sealed and the seller incur no loss,
taking no subsidy save one for cloths so sealed, and but one fee for
the seal though the cloth be twice sealed for the cause aforesaid. |

such heirs, and of other lands by the escheators taken into the king's

of the king's enemies English and Irish, then to cause John de
Pembrok, now escheator, to have the like allowance, upon his
petition. By K. |
