To Stephen de Penecestre, constable of ae castle and warden of the ) Cinque Ports. Order to cause to be delivered to Cok Bretun and Alexander Veneysun, barons of the port of Dover, their houses, goods and chattels until the next parliament, as they have come to the king and shown him that Stephen has taken their houses, goods and chattels into the king's hands by reason of a trespass that they are said to have committed upon the king, and the king, because they offered themselves to purge their innocence before him, has given them day at his parliament after Michaelmas next, so that there may then be done before the king and Stephen what ought to be done by the king's council and of right.
