To the keeper of the forest of Cannock (de Canoco). Order to cause Ralph de Shirleye to have in the Hay of Teddesleye, which is within the bounds of that forest, four does, of the king's gift. Schedule. The underwritten are to be sought from the king that they may be sent to the exchequer at Berwick in Scotland. Two annual rolls of the second rolls of the exchequer of England, which rolls the clerk of the chancellor of the exchequer writes, in which rolls to wit there are written the accounts of the escheators and bishoprics, so that by these rolls the form of hearing accounts and allowing the stipends of divers servants keeping divers bailiwicks by the king's writs or without writs may be had. Also two rolls of the king's memoranda in the exchequer, so that there may be had by them full knowledge of how to make and write those things that pertain to the office of the remembrancer. Also a file of old writs of the king that remain in the hands of the clerk in the exchequer who keeps the said writs and the rolls of pleas. Also a transcript of the book for ordering the exchequer of England, which book remains in the king's Receipt [of the exchequer] in the hands of the clerk of the treasurer and chamberlains, so that by this book ordinance and view may be made of the conjunction (cojunccione) of offices and many other things that they do for the king. The aforesaid when they have been seen and understood for some time may be remitted and put in their places in the exchequer of England whence they came. Also it is to be sought from the king that there may be sent into Scotland bushels, gallons, ells, and weights and other things pertaining to the office of the marshalsea of the market, together with a form in a roll to exercise that office. Master Nicholas de Hovyton acknowledges that he owes to John de Tangeton, parson of the church of Raculvre, 178/.; to be levied, in default of payment, of his lands and chattels in co. Kent.
