Jan. 1. Wallingford.	To John de Louthre, escheator in cos. York, Northumberland, Cumberland and Westmorland. Order not to intermeddle further with two messuages and 80 acres of land, 1½ acres of wood, and a fourth part of a mill in Killum and Palxton which Adam son of Thomas de Killum lately acquired of Alina de Swethop, and 16 acres of land and the moiety of a messuage in Killum which the said Adam acquired from Thomas de Klenhill, restoring the issues to Adam without delay, as in the statute passed at Westminster, in the 1st year of the king's reign, it was provided that no one should be harassed by reason of the acquisition of lands which were held of the king's progenitors as of honours, and by an inquisition taken by the escheator it was found that the said messuages, etc., which Alina and Thomas held of the late king in chief as of the castle of Werk, then in that king's hand, are now held of William de Monte Acuto, now lord of that castle, and not of the king, and that the said messuages, etc., were taken into the king's hand by reason of the said acquisition.
	To the same. A like order, 'mutatis mutandis,' not to intermeddle further with a messuage and 24 acres of land in Killum, which Patrick son of William de Killum lately acquired of Nicholas de Killum, and a messuage and 60 acres of land, 1½ acres of wood, the moiety of a messuage and the fourth part of a mill in that town and Palxton, which the said Patrick acquired of Alina de Swethope, which messuages, etc., the said Nicholas and Alina held of the late king in chief, as of the castle of Werk.
Jan. 8. Wallingford.	To Thomas de Foxle, constable of Wyndesore castle. Order to pay to John de Broghton, to whom the late king committed the custody of the gate of Wyndesore park and the manor there, for life, to receive as much for that custody as Laurence de Bagshote, deceased, a former keeper, had therefor, the arrears of his wages from the time that constable was appointed, and to pay such wages henceforth, from the issues of that bailiwick, as long as he is constable.
Jan. 14. Wallingford.	To the sheriff of Cumberland. Order to cause a verderer for the forest of Inglewode to be elected in place of Robert de Neubiggyn, who is insufficiently qualified.
Jan. 8. Wallingford.	To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Ranulph de Dacre, sheriff of Cumberland and keeper of Carlisle castle, has besought the king to cause allowance to be made to him in the arrears of his account for the issues of that bailiwick, now rendered before the treasurer and barons at the exchequer, for the costs and expenses which he incurred for the safe keeping of that castle during the late seige of Berwick-upon-Tweed, by the order of J. bishop of Winchester, the chancellor, in retaining men at arms, hobelers and archers, to the sum of 47l.; (fn. 1) the king therefore orders the treasurer and barons to cause diligent enquiry to be made concerning the said expenses, and to cause allowance to be made to Ranulph as aforesaid for such expenses which he shall be found to have incurred, and to cause him to have respite for the said arrears, up to that sum, in the mean time. By p.s. [7450.]
Jan. 8. Wallingford.	To Geoffrey le Scrop. Order to receive the writs, rolls, records, processes, memoranda and all other things touching the office of chief justice for holding pleas before the king, which office the king wishes him to have during pleasure, from Richard de Wylughby, by indenture, and to hold the said pleas as is becoming, the king having ordered Richard to deliver the said writs, etc. to him. By p.s. [7453.]
	To Richard de Wylughby. Concurrent order to deliver the said writs, etc. to Geoffrey. By the same writ.
Jan. 18. Wallingford.	To John de Louthre, escheator in cos. York, Northumberland, Cumberland and Westmorland. Order to retain a certain shop in Baumburgh in the king's hand, paying to Thomas son of Adam son of Maurice de Baumburgh, 4s. yearly from the said shop, as long as it shall remain in the king's hand, as the escheator returned that he had taken that shop into the king's hand because he had found by inquisition of office that William son of Laurence de Baumburgh, who held a shop of the king in chief in Baumburgh, for life, of the inheritance of the said Thomas, rendering to him 4s. yearly, committed felony by killing Henry le Synewrigh.
