To the sheriff of Northampton. Order to cause the provost of the chantry chapel of Cotherstok to have seisin of the tenths of wastes and assarts in the places of Horshawe and Calonheye, without delay, as the king lately granted by charter to the provost and brethren of that chapel the tenths of wastes and assarts in the forest of Rokyngham, approved, or to be approved, and afterwards on learning that Roger de Appeltre, parson of Cleve church unduly received tenths of 47 acres in a plot called Horshawe and Calonheye, of wastes and assarts approved in the said forest, although such waste and assarts are without the bounds of the parish of the said church, and willfully disturbed the provost from the reception thereof, the king ordered the sheriff to notify to Roger that he should be in chancery on Wednesday before St. Nicholas last to show cause why the provost should not receive the tenths from those waste and assarts, in accordance with the grant, and the sheriff returned that he made a full return of the said writ to William de Holewell, bailiff of the liberty of Queen Isabel, who has a full return of all writs, who answered that he notified Roger that he should be before the king on the said day to do what the tenor of the writ exacts by William Adebeyn and William Blogwyne of Kyngesclyve, on which day Roger did not come when summoned, wherefore it was considered that the provost should recover the tenths against him.

To the prior of Ware. Order to pay 160l. without delay to Robert de Tughale, so that for lack of such payment the king may not have cause to resume the priory into his hand and to punish the prior, if the prior finds on viewing the king's orders that the king ordered him to pay that sum to Robert, as the king is bound to Robert in 510l. 22d. as is found by the certificate of the treasurer and barons of the exchequer sent into chancery, and he has remitted that sum to the king upon condition that prompt payment or an assignment of 200l. thereof shall be made to him, otherwise the 510l. 22d. shall be paid to him entire, wherefore the king ordered the treasurer and barons of the exchequer to pay Robert 200l. to give him an assignment in places where he should be speedily satisfied for that sum, and although they assigned to him, in part payment, the 160l. of the arrears of the ferm which the prior is bound to render for his priory, and ordered him to pay that sum to Robert, yet he has not cared to do anything therein, as Robert has informed the king, wherefore for the non payment of the 160l. Robert seeks payment from the king of 510l. 22d. in accordance with the agreement made with him.

Westminster.
To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to cause the men of co. Cumberland to have the terms granted to them by the king and to cause them to be enrolled, not molesting the collectors of wool in that county for 120 sacks, as in consideration of the immense plundering and destruction suffered by those men by the frequent incursions of the Scots in the parts of the March of that county before these times and the great expenses incurred by those men for the salvation of the March against such attacks while the king was absent in parts beyond the sea, and wishing to render those men more ready in like case in future times, the king granted that of the 120 sacks of the wool last granted apportioned to that county, they should pay at the exchequer 30 sacks at Michaelmas next, 30 sacks at Easter, 30 sacks at Michaelmas following and 30 sacks at the following Easter.
