Dorset, and Devon each to arrest goods in like manner to the value of 1001., and the bailiffs of Shorham to arrest goods to the value of the remaining 602. By C. To William de Leycestria and John de Braideston, keepers of the goods that belonged to Walter, late archbishop of Canterbury. Simon, archbishop of Canterbury, has shewn the king that the executors named in Walter's will have refused to assume the administration of his goods or to intermeddle therewith for the execution of his will, wherefore the administation of Walter's goods ought to pertain to Simon as the ordinary, and he has prayed the king to cause the goods to be delivered to him to dispose of them as shall seem good for the health of the deceased s soul: the king, wishing to grant the archbishop's request, and as the archbishop has undertaken and promised before the king and his council to satisfy the king at the exchequer for all debts due to him from Walter at his death, in so far as the goods suffice for payment thereof, orders the said keepers to pay the 3002. that the king ordered them to pay to Reginald de Cobham for certain of his affairs in parts beyond sea, and to deliver to the archbishop all the remaining money and all the jewels, corn, goods and chattels of the aforesaid Walter by indentures, and to bring their parts of the indentures to the chancery as speedily as possible for their discharge; provided that if the king wish to have any of the jewels at the price, the archbishop shall cause them to be delivered to him at the price when summoned, By K. & C.
