constable of Bourdeaux, if assured by oath of the petitioner that the
statements in his petition are true, to cause him to have allowance
in his account at the exchequer of 100l. by the said William received
at the receipt of the exchequer; as the said petition shews that he
received the said sum touching his wages and the wages of his men
retained with him by reason of his office, the expenses of his passage
to Gascony, and of the passage of messengers by him sent to England
at the king's command to certify the king of the state of his said
office, which wages and expenses from the date of his commission to
20 September following, on which day he took over his said office,
amount to 200l. and upwards, as may appear by the particulars
thereof, and that the treasurer and barons have deferred allowing the
same for that they were not controlled by the king's controller of
Gascony, as they might not be for that they were made before the said
constable took over his office, and the controller had not nor might
have knowledge thereof, wherefore the said executor has prayed for
remedy. |

and others of the said town and of the parts adjoining that foreign
merchants, willing to come thither with herring and other fish, come
to anchor before the entry of the port and, for fear of the king's proclamation forbidding any man under pain of forfeiture to take gold
or silver out of the realm in money, plate or otherwise, dare not enter
for sale of their herring and fish, supposing that they may not take
any money for their merchandise nor carry it to their own parts, and
so pass to Flanders and other places over sea, whereby the king loses
his customs, and the people of those parts their sustenance which in
great part consists in victuals so brought, wherefore petition is made
for a remedy; and whereas in the last parliament it was ordered that
no man shall cause gold or silver to be so taken out of the realm, except
victuallers, fishers who catch herring and other fish, and those who
bring fish into the realm in small vessels not meddling with other
merchandise: order to supervise all herring and fish brought to the

the sale thereof shall be received by alien merchants, making indenture
thereof in manner due, and suffering all fishers and merchants of
foreign parts bringing thither herring and fish who meddle not with
other merchandise freely without let after payment of the customs
due thereupon to take with them to their own ports the money they
shall receive for their fish in the sale thereof according to the said
ordinance, the proclamation notwithstanding, provided always that
the said fishers or others of whatsoever condition take not out of the
realm by colour of this command silver, gold or other things contrary
to the proclamation over and above the money so received for sale of
their herring and fish, and that nothing be done or attempted which
may tend to impair the force of the proclamation. |
