To the sheriff of Middlesex. Order not to intermeddle further with the Jands which belonged to Robert de Tanton, late keeper of the wardrobe, which the sheriff had taken into the king's hand by his order, restoring the issues thereof; as because Robert did not render his account for the time when he was keeper of the wardrobe, and was indebted to the king in divers debts at his death, by reason of his office and for other divers causes, the king ordered the sheriff to take into his hand all the lands of which Robert was seised in his demesne as of fee at his death, and to keep them safely so that he shall answer to the king for the issues thereof until the account is rendered to the king and the king is fully satisfied for the said debts, or until further orders; and William de Northwell, of co. Nottingham, prebendary of Northwell in the collegiate church of Suthwell, has mainperned to render to the king the said account for Robert for the issues of the wardrobe for the time when Robert was keeper thereof, and has found security for satisfying the king there for what is found to be owing to him by the said account and for all other debts which Robert owed at his death to the king ; and the king has ordered all the goods which belonged to Robert at his death, and which the king caused to be taken into his hand by reason of the said account and debts, to be delivered to William.
