To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer, and to the chamberlains. to permit John Bray to hold the office of one of the ushers of the receipt of the exchequer, notwithstanding the king's commission to Henry Dymmok, if they shall find upon inspection of the king's writ of privy seal that the office was granted to John to hold during good conduct, and that no fault has been found with him for his conduct therein, as he has shown the king by his petition before him and his council in parliament, that the king lately committed that office to him, and ordered the treasurer and chamberlains by letters of the privy seal to receive him therein, to stay so during good behaviour, receiving the accustomed wages, and although no fault was found with him, yet Henry obtained from the king a commissiom under the great seal to hold that office during good behaviour, directed to the treasurer and barons, whereupon John has besought the king to provide a remedy. By pet. of C. 10.
