of wheat of John de Seland, price 6s. a quarter, and has delivered the
same for safe keeping to Peter de Halsham mayor of Grymesby,
Gilbert Nevill and Walter Whyte bailiffs, and to the commonalty
of that town; because Ralph, appearing before the council, has
stated that the corn aforesaid is by long detention and frequent
flooding much damaged and unsuitable to be kept for the king's
use, offering for himself and John to cause it to be brought to Lenn
or Great Yarmouth or to the city of London there to be exposed for
sale for the common weal, craving licence so to do, and an order to
dearrest the same lest it be wholly wasted: order, for sure
causes affecting the arrest shewn before the council, and for that
Ralph has there sworn to take the corn to the places above named
and to no other, to dearrest the same, and to suffer Ralph to carry
it with the said ship to either of the places named for sale, first taking
security for his bringing into chancery letters of the mayor and

justices appointed to hold pleas before the king, to find security
before them that he should not depart from the realm in order to
prosecute matters to the prejudice of the king and people, as the
king lately heard that it was his intention to do, causing matters
which belong to the king's cognisance to be terminated by an alien
court contrary to the prohibition, for that the said mainpernors
have undertaken that he shall not so depart for any such purpose,
nor make any attempt to the prejudice of the crown or people. By C. |

or others of the shire, and two citizens and burgesses of every city and
borough therein to be elected with full power to treat and agree with the
council touching the arraying of men at arms and archers for defence

as since his passage to France that the enemy were prepared to
invade England, ordered a certain array to be made in singular the
counties thereof, and that men of means unfit for travail should be
assessed to provide armour for the men arrayed; and because the
said peril is daily increasing, and great sums of money must be spent
to bring those men from their own parts, the king would treat with

commons of England, but for the speedy furtherance of the business
in such an emergency, and for that the commons cannot be assembled
at short notice in one place, to spare them travail and expense, the
king's will is that the said bishop and others, three or two of them,
whom he is sending for that purpose, shall treat with the commons
of that county on the day and at the place aforesaid. |
