To Humphrey le Littelbury. Order to release from prison Clement son -of Robert de Wylton of Spaldyng , as Humphrey has returned that the king appointed him to pursue and arrest Bartholomew de Badelesmere and other rebels and their adherents in the county of Lincoln, and that he deputed one of his men to execute the premises in the parts of Holand, in that county, and that Clement was accused by his enemies of adhering to the king's enemies, by reason whereof Humphrey s aforesaid deputy attached Clement, and Humphrey also returned that he afterwards understood that Clement never came out of those parts to the king's damage: wherefore the king considers the cause of Clement s arrest as insuflicient.
