in the Tower of London. Order, upon pain of forfeiture, to deliver to
John de Wesenham, whom the king has appointed to hold the exchanges
in his name, or to his attorney, at every issue that they make, the sixth
part of the gold coined, receiving from them as much gold fine or other as
amounts to the value of the issue made to them; and that all the old
sterlings or other silver that come out of the exchanges, which are delivered
to them to melt and coin for the king, shall be coined and returned to the
said exchangers or to their attorney at the next issue of sterlings, or at
least within ten days following, so that the people suffer no damage through
their default; and that no exchange shall be held by them or by any other
in the king's mints, except at the places and by the persons deputed by the
king and his council, as the king's moneys are clipped, forged and debased
and taken out of the realm for bullion to other lands. And the king has
ordained, with the assent of his council, to proclaim that no exchange shall
be held in the realm except by those appointed to hold it and at the places
ordained therefor: and the king wishes all manner of people to be quickly
delivered at the exchanges, which thing the exchangers cannot do if they
have not ready issue of the gold and silver put by them in the king's
mints. French. |
