Order to suffer John Whaplode to lade a certain tarit or other ships
in that port, and freely without let to carry whither he will without
a second payment of custom, subsidies or other duties the wools and
woolfells which by letters of cocket of the collectors in the port of
Cicestre they may be assured were there cocketed and customed by
virtue of the king's licence, and for which the custom, subsidy and
other duties has been paid to the last mentioned collectors; as on

that he might lade in the port of Cicestre 300 sacks of wool or woolfells,
reckoning always 240 woolfells by the lesser hundred for one sack of
wool, and might take them to foreign parts whither he would, provided
always that before taking them out of that port he should pay down
to the collectors of customs and subsidies therein such customs,
subsidies and duties as should be paid at the staple of Calais if he
should take the same thither; and the said John has petitioned the
king for licence to lade anew in the said tarit or other ships in the
port of Sandwich, and without a second payment to take to foreign
parts to make his advantage thereof, 95 sacks 15 stone of the wool
and woolfells aforesaid, after they have been laded and cocketed

the said John at his death held jointly with the said Joan, to them and

predecessors used to have the same, and his petition shews that he
ought to have, and his predecessors time out of mind used to have
two dies for the said change, as may appear as well by the said record
and process sent by the king to the exchequer as by the said rolls

To the collectors of customs and subsidies in the port of the city of

and Thomas de Barton or to their attorney one part of the king's
cocket seal in that port which is in the collectors' keeping, expressly
forbidding that any wool, hides or woolfells shall in that port be laded
and taken thence to any parts unless [sealed] with that part as well
as with the other part remaining in the collectors' hands, until the
said John and Thomas shall be fully contented of a sum of 800l.; as
by his letters patent the king is bound to them in 3,000l. for particular
causes by the king and council agreed, and has granted that the said
John and Thomas shall take 800l. thereof of the customs and subsidies
in the said port, namely 25s. of every sack of wool until that sum
be fully paid, and the residue in other places in the said letters specified,
according to tallies levied at the receipt of the exchequer; and thereupon the king by writ commanded the collectors to deliver by indenture
to the said John and Thomas or to their attorney 25s. of every sack
of wool that shall there be laded until 800l. be fully paid; and it is
his will so far as he may to hasten the payment thereof. |

of Dovorre, and to dearrest and deliver to the said Boncorps and
James without a second payment of custom or subsidy the
wares in those letters contained, if arrested for the cause
hereinafter mentioned and for none other; as their petition shews
that although in the said port they truly paid the customs and subsidies
due for 250l. of divers wares by them brought thither from foreign
parts in five cases, as appears by the said letters of cocket produced
in chancery, the same are arrested in the city of Rochester for payment
of the custom and subsidy as if they were not previously paid, praying
for restitution. |

the said manor of the right and heritage of the said Alice of others
than the king. |
