To the same. Order to assemble the chancellor, treasurer, justiciary and others of the council of Ireland, as he shall see fit, and to take information concerning the fees and wages for the custody of castles and fortalices in that land and to cause such fees and wages as seem necessary to be determined, informing the king in the chancery of England of what he shall do, as the king is informed that such fees and wages are paid to the keepers in places where the king has few or no lands pertaining to the castles, as used to be paid before the king, and his progenitors granted those lands to divers men of England and Ireland to hold under a certain form, and it is not right that the king should be charged with the entire fees and wages where others receive the profit of the land.
