To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Hugh de Courtenay the elder has shown the king that whereas he was seised, after the death of Isabella de Fortibus, countess of Albemarle and Devon, whose heir he is, of a certain yearly fee of 18l. 6s. 8d. for the third penny of co. Devon, together with divers other lands which belonged to the countess by hereditary right, and had received that sum yearly by the hands of the sheriffs of the county, and the sheriffs had allowance therefor in their accounts at the exchequer until Walter, late bishop of Exeter, then treasurer of the late king, delayed to make such allowance at the prosecution of certain persons asserting that Hugh ought not to receive that fee because he is not an earl, for which reason the sheriffs of that county have refused hitherto to make payment to the said Hugh of this fee, and yet the treasurer and barons exact the amount of that fee from Hugh by summons of the exchequer, and cause him to be distrained for that cause, wherefore Hugh has besought the king to provide a remedy, the king therefore orders the treasurer and barons to inspect the rolls and memoranda of the exchequer touching the said affair, and to inform the king of what they shall find without delay, and to cause the said exaction on Hugh to be superseded until the quinzaine of Easter next, so that the king may be informed upon the premises in the meantime, and cause justice to be done to Hugh.

Essex and Hertford, at which time the said king passed through the county of Hertford, and Thomas continually had his undersheriff before the steward and marshal of the late king, to receive and execute their orders, Thomas being occupied elsewhere, by reason of his office, so that he could not attend to the said orders and their execution in person; and Hugh le Despenser, the younger, by reason of his rancour against Thomas caused him to be amerced for not appearing in person before the steward and marshal at 10l. the first time, 100s. the second time, 100s. the third time, 100s. the fourth time, 10l. the fifth time, and 40s. the sixth time, amounting to 37l. in all, and that sum is now exacted of Thomas by summons of the exchequer for the king's use, whereupon Thomas has besought the king to provide a remedy: the king therefore orders the treasurer and barons if they find Thomas to have been amerced as aforesaid, to summons those of the council whom they shall choose, to annul the said amercement or to mitigate it, and to give Thomas respite for the exaction of the said 37l. by the said advice and deliberation.
